#9th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: glue, ester, solvents, fruit basket, pineapple Palate: glue, ester, fruity, pineapple, mango, marzipan Finish: long, fruity, pineapple, woody This is an “easy” one 🤪A very good balanced Hampden DOK. The wood and alcohol is integrated very well. My Prediction: Hampden DOK from 2009 <60%

In comparison with RX11273: from the start it’s more round, elegant and/or refined. Alcohol is integrated very well. A bit of dryness from the wood. After a while they come towards the same level and it becomes very hard to pick a favorite…

RumX Adventskalender 9. Dezember: Geiler DOK, gefällt mir sehr gut! Langsam werd ich warm damit, richtig lecker… Hammer Nachgeschmack

in the other glass, the DOK 2009 reference, the TRC 64.5%, from the rest of the LoM cask. The Tasttoe is absolutely on par with the TRC on the nose. On the palate, the TRC scores a bit higher with its very well integrated, slightly higher ABV that also brings a bit more intensity. The Tasttoe plays but in any case sovereign in the Champions League!

A cool funky DOK! Very intense and powerful ! Personally, I like the TRC better, but that is purely a personal sense of taste

No. 9 and it becomes intense N: vinegar esterG: acid, ester, tropical fruit, full-bodied, roundF: toasty, delicious, engagingHangs nicely on the rim of the glass😋.

Tag 9 Rum X Adventskalender

Almost elegant compared to other 2009s. Less aggressive. Still intense.

Nez Jamaïquain, Hampden Dok probablement. Funky, colle et Esther tout ce à quoi a s’attend avec des fruits mûrs et de la cerise. En bouche c’est une explosion de fruits, cerise, banane, fraise, ananas, un vrai bonbon c’est très bien intégré. En finale on a une jolie cerise qui reste bien en bouche.

12 Jahre -wenn auch Kontinental- ist für einen DOK aber schon ganz ordentlich. Nase: intensive Ester, gelbe Zitrone vordergründig, dahinter reife, angegorene Ananas. Ein ordentlicher Schwall Frucht-Essig kommt rüber. Honig-Marzipan-Süße mildert etwas ab. Ich vermisse den feinen Klebstoff, habe stattdessen mehr Lösungsmittel und Nagellack. Aber wie erwartet eine wundervolle Aromenbombe. 8,5 Gaumen: intensiv und echt lecker. Ester total. Intensivste säuerlich-süße Ananas mit Zitrone. Wirkt sehr speckig. Süße von Ananas-Marzipsn. Leicht adstringent. Mehr kann man fast gar nicht sagen. DOK halt. Gefällt mir echt gut. 8,7

A well-concentrated Hampden DOK with phenolic notes and ripe tropical fruit that has a touch of floral freshness, tartness and fermented notes that round out the nose. The aromatic power returns on the palate, with citrus, tannins, acid, spice and woody touch that complement and tame the DOK's strong character. The finish, although we perceive the typical aromas already described, is relatively short and loses intensity compared to the rest. A clear rum, which can show the muscles in high ester mode but which is relatively balanced and accessible. It is however slightly effete compared to other Jamaican rums and it lacks a little something to have a great aromatic bouquet.

Ganz leckerer DOK, sehr trinkbar mit einer schönen Säure, die mich stark an Soursop erinnert
