Doorly's XO

[BobL]

Hi folks I'm delurking because I've recently found and started drinking Doorly's. I think that is like Ron Zacapa meets Havana Club 7. IMHO I think that his may be the best rum that I've ever had.

Any thought would be appreciated.

Well thanks for coming out of the cyber closet. Doorly's XO has been one of my favorites for a long time. At the Newport Boat Show in 2002, Doorly's XO was being served on the rocks and a lot of people couldn't believe it was so good, many thought it was fine whisky. Another of those rums that should be on your list of things to try and add to the rum shelf.

And what would the rest of the list be? I'll nominate Lemon Hart Demerara and Matusalem Clasico.

Ah, I was happy to see Cockspur VSOR on your list! I just wish I could find it somewhere in British Columbia...

(no this was not the first time I took a look at your list but as I revisited it, I just had to comment on the Cockspur...)

(hmm... I was about to write "loot" instead of "look"... I guess it reveals a bit of my feelings towards your collection... )

Cockspur VSOR bottled in Barbados is very nice rum, but I can't share the same opinion of the blend bottled in the US.

It's different? Darn, the only VSOR that I've tasted was the Barbados variety and I had high hopes of catching some more now that I'm on the American continent...
