Doorly's XO Fine Old Barbados Rum 43% Vol. 0.7 l + GB comes from the renowned Foursquare Distillery on Barbados and is one of the bottlings with a strong character that impressively reflects the island's traditional rum craft. This rum matures for a total of around ten years: it is first aged in selected oak barrels before receiving an intensive finish in sherry barrels. This two-stage barrel maturation gives it its aromatic depth and unmistakable, harmonious structure. The rich amber colour with golden reflections is noticeable as soon as it is poured, an indication of the long barrel ageing and the distinctive character of this rum. The fruity, exotic flavours are combined with a delicate sweetness and are reminiscent of the tropical origin of the distillate. The bottling is also presented in a high-quality gift box, making it particularly visually appealing.


At 43 per cent by volume, Doorly's XO offers a full-bodied, complex flavour. Roasted banana, vanilla, sultanas and walnut combine on the palate with a finely balanced sherry flavour. The structure remains harmonious and balanced without being overloaded. The finish elegantly accentuates every flavour nuance and ends with a gentle, lingering sweetness. This Barbados rum combines tropical warmth with the complexity of careful barrel ageing and is ideal as a versatile premium rum for connoisseurs.
