    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love how this high‑ester Hampden DOK marries big funk with surprising elegance. Expect gluey ester aromas over overripe pineapple and fermented tropical fruit; on the palate it’s intense yet well‑integrated, with a fresh, slightly sour edge many find appealing. Often benefits from a short rest or a splash of water. With 46 community reviews and only 198 bottles, it’s a confident pick for funky‑Jamaica fans.

    Rum X Advent 9.12.22High Ester Hampden, no question. The 07 could absolutely be (Flensburg bspw). Why not a DOK as well?I have an insane amount of varnish and perfume thunder coming through. A RumClub or a TRC DOK I could also imagine well.with water it becomes rounder.

    Toller Dok zum passablen Preis. Lecker 😋

    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!

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