The Doorly's 12 years, an iconic product of the Foursquare distillery in Barbados, embodies the art of rum distillation and blending. This exceptional rum is the result of careful twelve-year maturation in the tropics, in barrels that previously contained Kentucky bourbon and Madeira.
This double distillation, using both pot still and column still, gives this rum unmatched aromatic complexity and finesse.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: From the opening, rich and complex aromas fill the senses with pastry and spicy notes. The scents of caramel, vanilla, and dried fruits are beautifully balanced by more subtle touches of oak and sandalwood.
PALATE: On the palate, this rum reveals itself as ample and indulgent. Flavors of molasses and licorice harmonize with notes of maple syrup, creating a generous and enveloping aromatic palette. The texture is smooth and velvety, offering a true symphony of flavors.
FINISH: The finish is persistent and evolving, marked by herbal and vegetal notes that add a dimension of freshness and lightness. A slight bitterness subtly balances the initial sweetness, leaving a lasting and refined impression.

The star of "bleutiful" aperitifs! An aperitif crafted through the maceration of green anise, star anise, and licorice, inspired by the blue skies of Provence and the Mediterranean. Provence is the only place in the world where the aperitif combines the sea, gastronomy, and the art of living with sport, thanks to pétanque. The aperitif thus becomes a unique moment that brings together friends and family, where several generations gather to share convivial moments enriched by the charm Marcel Pagnol has accustomed us to.

The rum is aged using the solera process for aging spirits, in which barrels containing older spirits are “topped off” and married with younger spirit from other barrels as the angel’s share takes its toll. Afterwards the rums blended are aged again in Single Malt Scotch Whisky oak barrels for at least 6 months. By the time, the rum is bottled. “Rum Cañero Finnished Malt Scotch Whisky” has been created personally by the great RUM MASTER JUAN ALBERTO ALVAREZ, professional with huge experience on the Rum Art, which has been developed among very well known distilleries throughout all Caribbean.

The sents mingle with woody vanilla and toffee.
A 2015 addition to the Finlaggan range, named Eilean Mor (those of you that know about Islay's geography will be familiar with that name). This expression has been bottled at a slightly higher strength than other Finlaggan release (not including the Cask Strength, of course).
