This is a really bright and flavorful rum, especially considering the price! Great for mixing, but can honestly be appreciated solo.

This stuff is so cheap, at around $21, and it tastes great with Root Beer. Barqs if you want caffeine, another brand, if you don’t.

Smooth mouth and throat feel followed by a dry finish. Sweetness is too much for me, but similar to their XO and Perfeccion. Light notes of pear and vanilla with slight anise on finish. As long as Doorly's XO or 8 yr. stays around this price point, I won't purchase this one again.

Kaniche is a pretty rough ride. It has some subtle off-flavors reminiscent of gasoline, and burns harshly from beginning to end. It's not the worst thing ever and would serve you better than Malibu, but you definitely get what you pay for with this cheap bottle.

After trying the XO and the Perfeccion, which were good but don’t really stand out, I had fairly low expectations for the much cheaper Reserve. It’s quite good, and for like $16 at total wine (on sale, I think), that is an unbelievable bargain. Sweet, brown sugar notes on the front end. Way smoother than expected.

Bit too heavy on the sugar and vanilla, but otherwise an ok bajan rum, with tobacco, caramel and cinnamon.

Like all Kaniche and most Plantation, its sweet. Possibly the best rum for the money and my rating includes some consideration for value. Sippable but not as good as XO and Perfection. I will probably always have this on hand for an aged mixed rum that I can sip as well.

Gotta say it, this is very smooth with a load of sugar, banana and vanilla. A decent sipping rum. Feels like more than 80 proof. This is everything I thought Doorly's would be and yet isn't. I get a bit of cinnamon but not as much as others say. Definitely candied caramel as well.

Somewhat reminiscent of Jack Daniels bourbon (yes JD is bourbon too). This is coming from a guy with a whisky background but this has been the best budget rum sipper I've yet had.

This rum is super smooth and mellow, barely any distinguishable notes. Doesn't stand up in a rum and diet, but would pait well in tiki drinks.
