Doorly's White Review

Doorly’s White represents Foursquare Distillery’s three-year aged white rum made from first-class molasses without added dyes, sugar or flavors. This charcoal-filtered expression demonstrates Foursquare’s technical proficiency in producing cocktail-focused white rum while maintaining authentic Barbadian character. At 40% ABV, it is suitable for every bartender to create excellent classic cocktails.

Technical Assessment

The production methodology follows traditional Foursquare standards combining pot and column still distillates aged three years in oak barrels. Charcoal filtration removed color, but not taste, preserving barrel influence while achieving visual clarity. This process maintains structural integrity while targeting cocktail applications rather than neat consumption.

Nose Evaluation

The aromatic presentation reveals light vanilla characteristics consistent with young barrel aging. Initial impressions show clean citrus notes with minimal ethanol interference. The nose demonstrates competent development within the three-year aging category, providing sufficient character for mixing applications without overwhelming delicate cocktail components.

Palate Analysis

The palate execution delivers clean vanilla and citrus characteristics documented in testing. Fresh and fruity on the palate with tropical fruit development typical of Barbadian production. The light spice noted in testing provides adequate complexity for cocktail work while maintaining accessibility. The fruit impression would make this ideal for any daiquiri.

Finish Assessment

The finish demonstrates the primary limitation of three-year white rum expressions. Clean citrus characteristics provide brief satisfaction before the abbreviated conclusion. Clean finish documented in testing represents competent technical execution within structural constraints of young filtered rum.

Performance Context

This goes great in cocktails calling for white rum, demonstrating competent mixing functionality. The expression performs as intended for daiquiri and mixed drink applications. Technical scores reflect adequate performance within the accessible white rum category, though neat consumption reveals youth limitations.

Final Assessment

Doorly’s White executes its role as cocktail-focused white rum with technical competence despite youth constraints. The charcoal filtration process maintains barrel character while achieving visual requirements for white rum applications. Within its price segment, it provides reliable mixing functionality with authentic Foursquare character.
