Sip it neat and you get vanilla, coconut and a light sherry lift over Foursquare's usual oak and spice — pleasant, if a touch thin. Several members reckon the sherry cask actually softens and sweetens it versus the standard 12, trading some of that classic oaky depth for raisin and chocolate. Works nicely mixed too. A common note: excellent for the money.

How does Foursquare Doorly's XO Sherry Finish taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Easy Bajan sipper, light sherry, thin body Well-liked entry Foursquare with a gentle Oloroso touch and real value. The recurring catch: at 40% the body reads thin and a bit one-dimensional, and some prefer the standard 12.

I have never tasted a better rum for the price. Perfectly balanced flavor profile does not overpower with any particular taste, but rather the harmony of all flavors present. Sherry surfaces in every sip

This rum expresses the classic Foursquare profile with coconut, caramel, and vanilla. It is less round than the 12 year which make sense at the lower price point. This rum serves as a decent sipper for the price point and a great value for a cocktail rum.
Review by Johannes
A little thin, little flavor, lime, lots of neutral alcohol. I can't taste the Oloroso finish. The rum seems very young.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
First off, you get a lot for your money in my mind. This is a great beginner rum as well because it's light and rounded. Nice and fruity with spices well balanced with the woody notes. I like the warm touch on the palate. The nose is wonderful in the empty glass after an hour or so.
Review by Dim Itri
A beautiful nose, very pastry, very "Barbados" which suggests a sweet mouth, it's really nice! On the palate it is however disappointing, it cruelly lacks body. One guesses notes of leather, a light woody taste but the tasting pales by a bitterness that I dislike. Good point all the same for this rum which is not sweetened and whose value for money seems unbeatable. The finish is too short for my taste. In conclusion, it is a rum accessible to young palates who want to detach themselves from the Ron such as diplomatico and other zacapa (as an example)...
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
A good introduction to Foursquare rum. The typical flavour notes like vanilla, wood and spices are there but the palate might be a bit too thin. The Oloroso sherry maturation is noticeable but not overwhelming. Good price-quality ratio, but I would recommend the 12yo over this one.
Review by Jarrod Smith
Good rum but thin compared to the 12 year. The 12 year is so much fuller and round.
Review by Daniel
Intense vanilla, mild and buttery. On the palate, the spice of the barrel predominates. Only a slight vanilla note.The influence of the sherry finish is minimally noticeable in the finish.A beautiful rum for purists, which makes the advantages of Barbados clear, especially on the nose.
Review by Leo Krüper
Super Plv. Really great starter rum.
Review by Henry Davies
It’s not something I typically drink neat but trying it it works well and to be honest is not a million miles off the 12 year old Doorly’s. Nose is fairly non discript, mouth has woody bourbon notes with a bit more sharpness from the sherries notes. Medium finish with fruity and spicy finish. It’s a good everyday work horse and enjoyable mixed or passable as a sipping rum if a little bit bourbon forward and one dimensional. Great value for money
Review by rum_sk
I just had Doorlys 12 YO prior to XO and I am not sure if I am weird or everyone else, that gives 12 a higher rate, is. I will be 100% honest with you. The maturation after sherry is awesome it gave XO everything that I missed with 12YO. The sweetness, the prominent chocolate/banana taste is highlighter with oak barrel/wood being suppressed to the background. With 12YO you had banana taste mixed with sour green apple all underlined by huge woody taste. This one is none of that, you get vanilla, 🍌, raisins, chocolate all underlined but not overpowered by wood/oak. For me this one is a winner and I do not care. The nose is very similar but the palate is a different story. Medium to long finish. 75/100 for me.
Review by Krogulczyk
Definitely a bang for a buck. Lots of coconut in the flavour profile. Magnificent starting point rum. I’d definitely reccomend getting a bottle when you are starting out
Review by maxlasvegas
Real nice rum. I might like it’s 12 yr old sibling a bit more, but this is a nice rum. They are very different. This one is sweeter, the 12 ur is more complex. Room for this o e on my shelf as well.
Review by MJ72
Solvent and some smoke on the nose, slightly spicy on the palate but round overall.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Recommend for beginners 🤙
Review by thomas fraboulet
Rond & fruity
Review by Tom Buteneers
Price/quality definitely worth its money. At first round and somewhat sweet with familiar Bajan notes, evolves to smoky-woody to the dry (influence of the sherry barrels?) with peppery notes and some burning from the alcohol. Bitter notes of tobacco remain.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
For its price this one is excellent. Sherry's flavor is there but not overwhelming.
Review by Rum Runner Labs - Will
Compared to Doorly’s 12, a little less oaky on the nose and palate, and a bit more cinnamon on the finish. Altogether tasty, but a little less “classic Foursquare” than the 12.
