A true flagship of the Foursquare distillery: Doorly's XO Gold is an exceptional rum, aged between six and twelve years in bourbon casks and then finished for several months in Oloroso sherry casks.
This double aging process gives this rum remarkable complexity and depth, appealing to both whiskey and cognac enthusiasts.
TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: The nose is indulgent and complex, revealing notes of toffee and spices like pepper and cardamom, with a hint of bitter orange that brings a tangy freshness. There are also aromas of nuts and acacia honey, enriched by whiffs of ripe mango.
PALATE: On the palate, Doorly's XO Gold stands out with a silky and velvety texture that envelops the mouth. The flavors of vanilla and banana harmonize perfectly with those of raisins and sherry, offering exceptional taste richness. A subtle sweetness, reminiscent of bourbon casks, completes this aromatic palette.
FINISH: The finish is elegant and persistent, marked by spicy notes and dried tobacco. The length in the mouth is supported by an enveloping warmth, leaving a lasting impression of sweetness and complexity.
