Foursquare Doorly‘s 14 Years
Aged 14 years in a tropical climate, yet the oak never takes over — that's the surprise here. Expect classic Foursquare: vanilla, caramel, toasted coconut, orange peel and a little dark chocolate, with a faint whiff of glue on the nose. The 48% gives it more grip than the 12, so it drinks drier and warmer. Many call it their everyday Doorly's, though it's not the most complex.

Aggregated from 712 community reviews.
Balanced Barbados daily sipper, oak and coconut Members love it as a daily sipper with strong value — vanilla, coconut, oak and chocolate, well balanced at 48%. The common gripe: it's less complex than the ECS releases, and a few find it a touch thin on the finish.

Overall a really great, complex and well balanced rum. The brand Doorly’s was founded in 1908 by Martin Doorly & Company, but is since 1992 owned and some years later produced by Foursquare and Mr. Richard Seale. This 14yo Doorly’s is a blend of Pot and Column distilled rum. The rum has been aged in ex-bourbon casks plus that a small part of the blend was aged in ex-Madeira casks.

For me more in the direction of peaty whisky
Review by Henry Davies
A dramatic step up for me from the 12 year old Doorly’s. A great sipper and should be a bar staple. Nose is sweet with caramel, orange, and vanilla. The mouth is woody and spicy, more barrel influence than some of the ECS releases but works really well. Medium length finish, with dark chocolate, spice and a sweet sugary overtone. The ABV works well, not too strong but enough power to keep it interesting. Not as good as the best of the ECS but a legitimately enjoyable rum
Review by Tim
Durch die 48% und die längere Lagerung bekommt dieser Rum das gewisse Etwas, das seinen jüngeren Brüdern noch fehlt. Extrem runde Nase mit den typischen FS-Noten, Vanille, Milchschokolade mit viel Frucht muss als besonders bermerkenswert hervorgehoben werden. Definitiv der beste Vertreter aus der Doorly-Reihe für einen immer noch guten Preis. Man kann sogar sagen, dass dieser knapp an das ECS-Niveau rankommt.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
The nose on this rum is really nice and it may remind you of some of the Last Ward rums, not as complex but very well balanced. The palate has been perfectly rounded with the perfect proof. So no alcohol dominance but a perfect balance. The orange really shines through and the price to quality is very good.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really awesome Foursquare. Very complex, fruity & spicy at the same time. By far the best Doorly's! Very well balanced. Great value for money and perfect for a Corn'n'Oil, Bermuda Yacht Club. A proper every day drinking rum with just the right ABV!😍
Review by Johannes
Very good unsweetened starter rum!
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Really delicious rum. Aromas of vanilla, caramel, fig and banana. Vanilla and toffee on the palate with a lovely fruity note
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Foursquare is a distiller from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday drinking. It's a rum that will be appreciated especially by Rumarians who are fed up with sugar and are looking for a smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Just pleasant and not aggressive flavours.
Review by Basti
Not the most complex Foursquare, but better than some ECS bottlings. For me it remains the best Foursquare easy sipper with very good PLV. Can also impress in cocktails. Remains a permanent fixture in my bar. For the asking price of around 70€, this is an outrageously good and drinkable Foursquare!
Review by RumTaTa
Good Foursquare standard bottling. No weaknesses but no strengths either. The alcohol is quite present for 48%.
Review by Beancheese
I know a lot of eyes will roll at seeing such a high rating for such an affordable, easy drinking rum but I stand by this. This rum is so drinkable, so enjoyable and yet still offers an elevated experience. This is the ultimate barometer and bridge rum. On the nose and palate this one is sweet, pleasant, oaky, fruity and tropical. Can you find ‘better’ - surely. Can you find better value - doubtful.
Review by mto75
the bourbon notes do not come through here as strongly as in other FS, but somehow floral (something better I can not think of right now), but also 'classic' coconut, orange peel and a fruity sweetness. The impression continues on the palate, and ends with a chocolaty-roasty finish.
Review by Eric Frechin
After discovering the 12-year-old as a sample, I decided to buy the 14-year-old. I was right to do so, as the extra 2 years give it much more depth. On the nose, as on the palate, there's a certain paradox: a rather acrid first impression (tannin, chili pepper) that quickly fades to pleasant coconut-caramel aromas. The medium finish confirms the woody-chocolate character. Very good value for money. I really like the packaging too
Review by TheRhumhoe
The most elaborate Doorly's of the classic range. If the nose remains on typical notes of cocoa, caramel, wood and tropical fruits, it remains more subtle and complex than its predecessors. The same flavors are clearly visible in the mouth and remain quite pleasant. The finish adds a subtle tobacco note. A good reference to introduce to Barbados.
Review by LukaŽiga
9:The nose is soft and velvety. As in a milk chocolate, one guesses a heavy and deep texture, a velvet with comfortable folds. The fruits take the lead, with orange peel in the lead, with exotic fruits in syrup caught in its patina. With aeration, the soft, full wood offers us notes of tobacco, mellow and toasted coconut. Its white fibre is a fleshy, caramelised juice. The toasted oak brings a little frame and character with time, this is a complete rum that will be hard to resist.Some glue on the nose😉. 9:On the palate, the rum is balanced and flavoursome. The woody concentration abounds with aromas of cocoa, toasted coconut, dark vanilla and sweet oak. The spices are taut, flavourful, like a variety of rich, exotic peppers. 9:The finish gives way to velvety fruit, candied orange peel and dark chocolate. Sipping it, brightens the day and night wide.Great price/performance. Edit:8.2.26
Review by Thunderbird
Ein grundsolider Foursquare der zum Sippen und Mixen einlädt. Er vereinbart die klassischen Aromen von Karamell, Kokosnuss, leichtem Holz, Vanille, Bourbon und ein wenig Würze. Die Reduzierung des Alkohol passt. Gleich gibt es einen Corn n‘ oil und Riyal Bermuda Yachtclub. Mal schauen wie er sich da so präsentiert
Review by Marcel.
Very fruity on the nose, some raspberry and pineapple. A little orange with oak and tar. On the palate it’s Vanillasauce, over caramelized pears, coconut, sweet spice, orangezest,quite roasty with oak, a hint of tar. The finish disappoints a bit for me. This is where it’s falling off against the better stuff from foursquare. Very nice casual sipper, also great in Mojitos. Wish they wouldn’t have reduced the abv. Coming back to this after drinking most of the bottle I have to give this a markup to 82.
Review by Timo Groeger
Next sample from Tim. Really good, thanks for that. Nice notes of vanilla, caramel and wood on the nose. Continues on the palate, where the oak comes to the fore. A really recommendable rum, even for beginners.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This is actually what I would want from a standard bottling coming from a distillery. This is very solid and on paar with a lot of indie cask strength bottlings. Very few off notes and a high drinkability .
