    How does this rum taste?

    The Road Rummers HD Jamaican Rum DOK is a rare cask-strength release from Hampden distillery, showcasing the quintessential tropical and ester-rich profile expected of a Jamaican DOK. Aged for 12 years and bottled by The Whisky Jury, its flavors dance from exotic fruits like pineapple and banana to subtle smoky notes. Users commend its complex nose, well-integrated ABV, and enduring finish, likening it to a vibrant Jamaican barbecue. However, some find it milder than typical DOK marks, though overall it’s often described as approachable and balanced.

    02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 2 Notes Light in colour. Nose Intense, ester, light wood, fruity, light glue, overripe, pineapple. Palate Intense, warm, ester, medium dry, fruity, light orange, banana, balanced, faint smoke. Finish Very long and warm, ester, faint rubber, faint wood, faint chocolate. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to release all its wonderful flavours. ABV pretty well integrated.

    Vert good drop, ABV level is perfect en very well integrated. Also delicious as an addition in a daiquiri. 17/05/23: Compared to RX11282 At first it’s rougher around the edges and appears less balanced. More peppery from the alcohol. But after some time that fades away and becomes more part of the whole thing. Difficult to pick a favorite, but maybe this one with 0.1 point? 😅 Ah who cares I’ve enjoyed them both. This one needed more time in the glass, that’s all.

    On the nose comes the full ester blast, as you would expect from a DOK. On the palate then quite balanced and a bit tamer. Quite astringent and dry on the palate.

    Beautiful DOK with good alcohol integration. Ester not too dominant, but amazingly easy to drink. In the 2nd tasting again a slight upgrade, as he really thrilled me.
