TAST'TOE Hampden HD DOK 2009
Highly praised high-ester DOK with big gluey fruit, lively acidity and well-integrated 56.6% ABV. Considered intense yet relatively elegant and accessible compared to other 2009 DOK bottlings.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk who want a punchy but relatively polished DOK, and experienced sippers looking for a characterful cask-strength Hampden with strong glue-and-pineapple notes.

How does this rum taste?
Balanced, funky DOK for ester addicts
If you already enjoy Hampden and want to dip into DOK territory, this is a great pick: all the gluey funk and pineapple, dialed to intense but still reasonably civilised.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or solventy aromas, and drinkers who dislike acidic, ester-heavy, slightly austere rums with less sweetness.
