So I may have lost my taste to COVID (but I tested negative) but I really liked this 8yr Doorly's. I thought the 12 yr was great, smooth and slightly sweet. But to tell the truth, for the difference in price l'll get the 8 year and just not tell.

Prešiel zhruba rok, čo som skúšal 5-ročný Doorly's. Ten ma vtedy zaujal krásnou vôňou, vrhám sa na staršieho súrodenca. Fľaša je takmer rovnaká, s pekným farebným papagájom, svedčí jej malá červená medaila okolo "krku". Farba svetlejšia, vôňa trochu menej výrazná, ako pri 5-ročnom, kvetové tóny zrazu absentujú. Chuť je znova mierne reznutá vanilkou, dominuje dubové drevo. Tento druh je o chlp jemnejší ako mladší brat, aj napriek tomu, že sa jedná o nedosladzovaný rum, nasládlosť mu určite nechýba. Veľmi príjemné pitie, presne tento druh môžem. Spektrum tónov je skôr užšie, nie je príliš čo objavovať, ale vďaka vybalansovanosti a jemnosti je fakt piteľný. Pripomína mi Mount Gay Black Barrel, resp. trochu jemnejšiu alternatívu Barceló Imperial. Rating silných 7, palec hore, v zásade ale podstatný improvement od 5-ročného nevnímam, takže je otázka, či neostať pri stále kvalitnom lacnejšom...

Za mne skvělý jemný rum s příjemnou vůni tropického ovoce. V barvě červenohnědý

Lovely little rum. Good long palette with rich flavour, nice body and nose. Could just use a couple of points higher in abv% but overall very good. Will buy again no doubt

It was an okay rum but price/value nothing special, difficult to get as well where I live. Not a rum which I would order online to get it.

Barbados is the land of miracles in bottle. Very tasty and smooth.

Nothing special or memorable but it isn't bad either. If your balance allows it, i highly recommend to grab the 12 year. If not, this is a fine bottle of rum

Lovely color, hints of toffee on the nose. Smooth sipper with a more well rounded taste of light toffee and vanilla. Slight bit of fire at the end but good overall.

Zlatohnědý rum má vůni vanilky, tropického ovoce a vůni bourbonu. Na patře představuje Doorly's 8 Year Old příchutě sušeného ovoce, karamelu, karamelky a dubu.

Being overly critical, the nose exhibits a bit too much spirit for my liking. While this is carried on to the palate, the oak is smooth and easy, that the bight of the alcohol is not out of place. A really nice sipper. Similarly priced to Mount Gay Black Barrel, it is far far superior. Has certain similarities to the Bajan rum that M&S buy from Plantation, but without the added sugar. I believe that Plantation get some of their rum from Seale's so that might explain it (but stand to be corrected).
EDIT - the more I drink the 5yo, 8yo and 12yo the more I don't quite see how the 8yo fits in. The 5yo is a easy, soft, unsophisticated and very easy to sip with plenty of American oak. The 12yo has the sophistication and power. The 8yo is somewhere in the middle (inc price wise). Dare I say that the 8yo is a little pointless? Don't get me wrong, it's a good rum, but the 5yo is easier (albeit very much less sophisticated) and the 12yo is better. Maybe it is a case that I actually prefer the soft oakiness of the 5yo to the 8yo.
