Foursquare Distillery Doorly's XO Barbados Rum 70 cl

Product Information

Although Doorly's rum is rarely referred to as Doorly Macaw Rum anymore, its bottles and packaging still tend to feature the Neotropical parrots, and the image is still a traditional and recognisable trademark of the brand. We like nothing more than tasting wine with fellow enthusiasts and sharing the stories of the people who have created the wine. Meticulously matured in ex-bourbon casks, this Caribbean rum boasts a robust and full-bodied flavour that captivates the senses. For that the same reason I couldn’t take a photo of the bottling, but the branding is the same as the 5YO.

Foursquare is one of Barbados’ oldest trading houses, a family-owned business whose involvement in rummaking extends from father-to-son since 1820.

That’s when the blenders entered the picture – they were traders that dealt with things such as rice, potatoes, textiles and much more, but they were also skilled in the art of rum blending. The palate is greeted with a spirited dance of spice and an indulgent oiliness that ignites the senses.Some rums will be blended again and undergo the second maturation before being bottled usually at 40%. The XO is distinguished by a second maturation phase in Spanish oloroso sherry casks, which gives it an extra aroma finish and a unique flavour profile to savour.
