Review by Montana
A slightly fruity and sweet smell, vanilla, a little woody. The taste is also somewhat fruity and sweet, slightly of vanilla and honey, in the aftertaste also a little woody.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an very OK everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account. The brand Doorly’s was founded by Martin Doorly & Company, but is nowadays owned and produced by Foursquare and Mr. Richard Seale. The 5yo is a single blended rum, a combination of column and pot still, aged in former bourbon casks whereafter it’s bottled without any dosage or additives at 40%.

Jednoduchý, krátky, bežné pitie ale lepší ako aniversario len taký jednoduchý
Review by HenryL
Purely unexciting but not bad, works great in cocktails and is currently my go-to for price-performance for a Barbados Rum Punch. Also works well in Old Cubans, Rum-Cola, etc.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Really nice English style. Not in a funky way but more spicy.
Review by Eric Frechin
A good entry-level rum to start with. Easy to drink with tasty notes of caramel, toffee, coconut. Light roasted oak. It’s nicely rounded by the Bourbon barrel. Short finish. I’m also thinking of trying it in a cocktail.
Review by Steve the Barman
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Review by KYRTAPS
Smooth, plain. Ok to drink and forget about it. No Caribbean, no fruit, no spice flavor. Molasses and wood. Taste is reminiscent of bourbon. That's not why I drink rum.
Review by Righrum
Too thin and not excellent alcohol integration, but is a foursquare undoubtedly and at a competitive price.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is rather tame with no sharp notes. Toffee and oak are most dominant with some berry like fruit and a pinch of salt. The palate has the toffee and wood from the nose but with more spice than the nose would let on. No fruit notes present but some biscuity sweetness. Some milk chocolate in the background. The finish is quite short and only really keeps the wood and spice from the palate. A little vanilla is present right at the end. It's a good entry level Barbados rum but for a similar price you can buy Plantation 5 Year and I prefer that despite the dosage.
Review by Trinkfluencer
Very flat at the front of the tongue, unfolds only in the throat. Somewhat narrow.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.
Review by Hogo Monster
While I bought this for mixing purposes, had to give it a sip first and it's not bad. At first nosing there was a heavy cherry aroma but it died off over the next 10 minutes into typical barrel notes. In the taste some familiar Foursquare elements but for me overall dominant flavor is unsweetened baking cocoa. Bet I can trick some friends into thinking it's bourbon.
Review by Marcus Ekornes
Nice and clean rum, but also falls a bit short with me. I Find it a little lacking in flavor.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It gives the drink that classic Bajan taste that anyone who has experience of rum from Barbados will instantly recognise. This is a serious contender for best rum in the £20 price bracket. It really is a great introduction to Bajan style rums. In fact its a good introduction to..."Read full review →
