Doorly's 12 Years Barbados Rum (70cl, 43%)

A twelve-year-old rum from Barbados, made from molasses at the Foursquare Distillery. It matures for at least twelve years in American oak barrels, giving a rounded profile where fruit, vanilla and oak sit in balance. The nose shows dark chocolate and caramel with mature oak. The palate brings ripe banana and dried fruit in a full texture with dry wine nuances, and the finish is long, layered and velvety. It is suited to neat drinking and to comparison with other Foursquare bottlings.
