About this deal

It all started in 1906 when the Rum Duty Act changed the way the rum was sold and distributed across Barbados as the distilleries had to have a license and were required to sell rum only in bulk quantities of 45 or more litres at a time.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Notes of red wine and blackberries mingle alongside dark chocolate and some faint notes of marmalade. Top stuff from a top range, expect masses of tropical fruit, chewy caramel, leafy tobacco and fragrant oak notes throughout this gorgeous Barbados rum. I usually drink whisk(e)y and bourbon, and the first thing I noticed is that it's got a pretty strong bourbon flavour profile to it.This a double maturation rum, first one being for 5 years in ex-Bourbon casks and the second one going up to 3 additional years in former Oloroso casks – hence the lack of a number on the label, as I don’t think a “6 years old” in its branding would do it justice. Palate: The palate is rich and layered with vanilla, a bit of rancio, orange zest, and stewed berries. Then a two-step fermentation process which is computer temperature controlled is adopted in the production of Doorly's rum.

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. The 12-year-old rum has notes of tropical fruits, toffee, banana, vanilla and tobacco, with a long warming finish from being secondary aged in sherry casks. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer.
