Hampden Caksus Jamaica Rum DOK (RX11437)

Introducing the Caksus Jamaica Rum DOK, a truly unique rum produced at the Hampden distillery in Jamaica and bottled by independent bottler Samaroli. This 12-year-old rum, distilled in 2009 from Molasses using a Pot Still, is a limited release with only 301 bottles available. The rum is bottled at a cask strength of 59% ABV and has a DOK mark. RumX users describe it as having a powerful yet balanced aroma of pineapple, ester, glue, banana, and varnish. On the palate, the rum delivers ester, marzipan, pineapple, varnish, and banana flavors, making it a pleasure to drink. Despite its high ester nature, it is remarkably mild and rounded, with a marzipan sweetness that makes it almost sippable. Overall, the Caksus Jamaica Rum DOK is a fascinating choice for rum enthusiasts looking for something truly different and delicious.

Relativ „entspannter“ DOK. Lösungsmittel, Marzipan, Ananas kommen direkt in den Sinn. Dann kommt noch etwas Speck und Rauch dazu. Sehr schöne Abfüllung!

Oh yes, clearly a DOK. Nose: intense, fine esters with neat fruit vinegar. Overripe, tart pineapple and mealy banana. There is also a slight sweetness of honey with a hint of marzipan. Palate: here, of course, the esters are also very intense and determinative, making it initially quite astringent. However, an interesting bacony note quickly comes through on this one, complemented by sour, ripe pineapple and a nice marzipan sweetness.On the finish, the pineapple lingers with some marzipan and it seems very slightly bitter. Crazy, after 20min I got something fishy, mackerel in Nachgeschmack🤷🏼♂️DOKs are quite simple in my view and don't deliver any distinct variety in my opinion, vary at most in subtleties. I find DOKs and other high esters but simply delicious.

Almost identical to the Rumclub Ed. 25! The ester well perceptible, but for a DOK very smooth and pleasant to drink! Already almost too tame and round!But tasty 😋

Beautiful DOK and unlike its brother actually one. Surprisingly mild and round, almost boring for a DOK. Nice marzipan note on the palate, makes it almost quaffable. In contrast to other bottlings really good drinkable.

Sehr zurückhaltender DOK alles ist vorhanden Ester Frucht aber irgendwie zuwenig von allem. Abgang leichte Bitternoten und ziemlich kurz für einen Hampden. Kein schlechter Rum aber auch nichts besonderes.

Geschmeidiger DOK, zahmer als so mancher <>H. Gut trinkbar,gefällt mir. Marzipan ist allgegenwärtig. Danke dem edlen Spänder.😙
