Hampden S.B.S Jamaica (Rum & Co) DOK

Brawny esters, tropical fruit, and a sherried Hampden punch.

Fearless in its estery, funky style, this young Hampden DOK finds extra weight from sherry cask aging—whether that's a love-it-or-hate-it twist depends on your palate. One to try if you enjoy bold fruit and high-ABV rum.

    How does this rum taste?

    • intense ester and fruit explosion
    • classic DOK funk and glue character
    • impressive for the young age

    If you're after a rum that's all about intense esters, glue, and ripe tropical fruit with a clear sherry imprint, the S.B.S Jamaica DOK keeps it interesting. Many highlight an “enormous medicinal charge (esters, glue, nail polish)” (@TheRhumhoe) with classic DOK funk and fierce pineapple. Opinions split on the sherry finish: for some, it “rounds out this alcohol and ester bomb” (@Christian Rudt); others find the PX cask makes things “slightly unruly” (@Frank). Expect high voltage—alcohol is upfront, but the integration is “impressive for its young age” (RumX user).

    "A DOK that lives up to its name. Lots of esters and totally funky. The combination with sherry, which I am usually very skeptical about, is a success here. The alcohol is not perfectly integrated and the finish is a little peppery. Given the abv, however, this should come as no surprise."

    "nice DOK the sherry finish influence is already very clear.... however, I personally like that very well."

    "Un jeune Hampden aussi esterisé que radieux. Le nez est aussi intense que polyvalent, avec une énorme décharge médicinale (esters, colle, vernis à ongles, solvants) suivie par un séisme fruité (banane, ananas, mangue, papaye, citron vert) et de belles notes de rondeur pâtissière (massepain, caramel). On a une légère influence boisée et quelques épices (piment, vanille) qui viennent embellir ce profil olfactif très savoureux. L’attaque en bouche est opulente avec cette même lourdeur médicinale et phénolique. Le fût fait son travail, offrant des notes boisées, rôties et tirant sur le sherry et les épices (piment, vanille). Le funk est concentré sur les fruits tropicaux, les agrumes et les notes pâtissières. Le rhum est puissant et astringent, mais il est bluffant sur son intégration de l’alcool. La finale est intense, chaude, funky, astringente et légèrement amère. Les tanins viennent se greffer aux notes phénoliques pour anesthésier le palais, tandis que les fruits perdent légèrement de leur saveurs. Les notes boisées et pimentées prolongent le plaisir gustatif. Un Hampden brut mais très bien élaboré, avec beaucoup de qualités pour son jeune âge."

    "An sich sehr interessant, reichhaltige Fruchtnoten, dazu eine Aromatik, die mich an geräucherten Honig erinnert, dezente Gewürze und auch etwas Feurigkeit vom Alkohol. An sich alles sehr interessant und schon erstaunlich komplex für das junge Alter; leider sticht mir dabei eine leicht snythetische Note zu sehr durch, weshalb ich im abschließenden Urteil etwas zurückhaltender bin. Das Gesamtkonstrukt hat aber echtes Potenzial und weiß zu gefallen."
