Unadulterated aged Bajan rum with great natural oak and vanilla flavor. Not as smooth as the 12 year but without being too hot. It has more sweetness and vanilla than the 12 as well and a fruitier younger taste that is very good. Not as aged raisiny tasting as the 12. Another great Bajan from Doorly's. Update: Another way to describe it is like RL Seale's 10yr but fruitier and sweeter. Maybe because of some of the younger rum flavor in the blend. It's not quite as smooth as Seale's 10. However the mild burn works in its own delicious way and brings out tropical fruit into the taste. I like that it definitely tastes like rum while the Doorly's 12 in comparison starts to taste like whisky after so much time in the barrel.Update: I like it even more than the 12 yr and definitely more than the XO. While the XO is smoother and more banana comes through, the 8yr is noticeably oaky and you can taste the dryish bourbon flavor which I really enjoy in my rum. Can't recommend it enough.

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.
