Doorly's 14 ans is a blend of rums distilled by Foursquare in column and pot still (for complexity and depth).
Aged entirely in the tropics in American white oak barrels, this rum has been reduced to be bottled at 48° which allows it to fully express its richness.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose is soft and velvety. Like a milk chocolate, the texture is heavy and deep, velvety with comfortable folds. Fruits take to the trail, orange peel leading the way, with exotic fruits in syrup caught in its patina.
With aeration, the soft, full-bodied wood offers us notes of tobacco, mellow coconut and toast. Its white fiber is fleshy, bursting with delicious, caramelized juice. The toasted oak adds framework and character over time, making this a complete rum that's hard to resist.
On the palate, the rum is balanced and flavorful. The woody concentration overflows with aromas of cocoa, toasted coconut, dark vanilla and luscious oak. The spices are taut and flavorful, like a variety of rich, exotic peppers.
The finish gives way to velvety fruit, candied orange peel and dark chocolate.
"A rum of formidable efficiency, gourmand and concentrated..."
