Doorly's 14 Year Old Rum

A serious Barbados single blend from Foursquare: 14 tropical years in ex-bourbon with a portion in ex-Madeira casks. At 48% ABV it’s vibrant yet silky—chocolate-orange richness, red-berry lift and spice—equally impressive neat or over a single rock, and a confident premium gift.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Ginger, spiced oak and dark chocolate-orange on the nose. Generous palate of tropical fruit, toffee apple, blackberry jam and cocoa with cinnamon and vanilla. Long, dry-spiced finish with a touch of char.
