Doorly's ABV43 12-Year

Rhum sans sucre ajouté trouvable pour un certain budget (40-50€).
En un mot, équilibré, une subtile fusion entre des notes chocolatés et épicés, voire secs. Il est très élégant et n'accroche pas tant que ça.
Je conseille vivement à n'importe qui souhaitant trouver un rhum s’éloignant des plus doux.

Very good rum. Feel his class and high quality. It comes from Foursquare distillery. It is a very good, cheaper alternative to the Foursquare brand. No added sugar is his advantage for me. This is a very good example as it should taste rum, including without additives. Despite this, it's nice, naturally sweet, rich aroma and smell, long pleasant finish. I'm happy to come back to him. One of the best I drink.

Being manufactured in one of the world’s best distillery, the quality and value make this rum a great buy. Low on the sweetness which probably characterizes the distillery’s commitment to limiting sugar additives, and rich flavor.

I just sipped this side by side with the Doorly's XO and this is a much more full bodied rum. The nose brings aromas of a slight toffee sweetness, caramel, a bit of tire rubber and leather. The palette is nice with notes of coconut, more caramel, leather again amid hints of orange and dark fruit, like figs and raisins. I really like this and it is definitely in my rotation for a sipping rum, I wish it was just a little more complex and had just a bit of a longer finish. But for the price it is a very solid offering.
Sipping this also made me revise my rating and review for the XO. Sipping the two side by side made it obvious how thin the main palette of the XO is.

I am super impressed with the various doorly expressions, Mr Seale, and his stance on sugaring. The 12 year old has a nice bit, but is still lovely with lots of black pepper and green vegetal mixed with molasses. It's not a heavy rum though. It drinks very light. And all for the low $20s.... Wow. This is a shelf staple now.

It’s unsweetened, it’s 43%. Must be dry strong, harsh,... And it’s definitely not at all. It has a wood smell and a wood aftertaste. The first taste is little pepper, little sour little sweet. My conclusion; it’s a really balanced rum with nothing very special. A simple but good rum. If u find it to peppery I would recommend u the trigo reserva anejo. It has almost the same taste. Enjoy!

My go to gift for non-rum drinkers who think only of the big brands. This is an amazing taste to value rum.

Fajny!! Starzony chyba w beczkach po Burbonie bo czuć to wyraźnie ;) fajny zapach ... Taki prawdziwy. Wejdzie butla

Fruity aroma, sweetness without added sugar and strong dark chocolate aftertaste that lasts forever. All of this at such a bargain price.

I enjoy this rum for sipping occasionally. It has a great front end taste but just seems to be missing a little on the backend. It really falls off.
