Jamacian Rum JHK DOK

incredibly mineral and austere Hampden.

A very nice DOK, the cask gives light notes of fresh wood and some vanilla to the typical ester bomb. This makes it a little more moderate overall than I would have expected given the color. This text has 221 characters.

I miss a little the creamy-buttery notes.

Fordernd, bisweilen sogar ein bisschen anstrengend, aber enorm spaßig. Wer braucht schon Eicheneinfluss, wenn er solch ein Destillat haben kann. Das ist nichts, was ich immer im Glas haben muss, aber bisweilen finde ich diese spannende Aromenwelt schon ziemlich beeindruckend und durchaus lecker.

#4234 03.09.2023 this was a nice blind tasting where I saw the black Glencairn tasting glasses for the first time. First off, price to quality is pretty good. A fruity thing with nice esters and I'd say some nice funk as well. Needs to rest for a good while to release all the flavours and remove the bite from the ABV. The empty glass is nice and has some polish and light dried fruit.

Sour ester, the grilled pineapple. For nen DOK rather the tamer category. Age has sanded down the edges a bit. The sour note is interesting.

Nice Hampden, although I would have expected a little more ester in a DOK. Alcohol well integrated.

Very ambivalent here since one may not actually believe that one is drinking a DOK here. The nose is good but not intense. The taste is a lot of honey until the finish with ester notes that remain very much in the background. You could also be really bad and write Don Papa on ester, but then it is not quite so bad.

Here I had expected much more... strangely, you taste here the 3 years more in the barrel not great out in contrast to the known 2009 DOKs. Unfortunately, both on the nose and in the taste quite exhausting, cutting and pungent alcoholic, almost reminiscent of vinegar. I miss the nice pastry sweetness here, the vanilla cream, all the yellow fruit and generally the fruitiness is barely present here. For me, unfortunately, an overall somewhat disappointing DOK.🤷🏼♂️
