Doorly‘s XO is a blend of pot and column still rum, fully matured in Barbados. It was matured for a minimum of six years and finished in an Oloroso sherry cask.
Martin Doorly & Co was founded in the 1920’s by Martin Doorly on the island of Barbados, producing and bottling a series of rums under their own name and reportedly producing the first bottles of Barbados rum for export from the island. The popularity of the brand took off, and the marketing department decided to slap a macaw on the label to create Doorly’s Macaw Rum (which was the name it traded under for many decades).
This rum has a rich, fruity character, with notes of toffee, raisins and vanilla throughout the palate. The increase of 3% in its ABV brings more spice and sharpens up the mouthfeel; giving it more pronounced tannins. The label features an image of the grand Hyacinth Macaw – the largest macaw in the world.
