Samaroli Hampden Caksus Jamaica Rum DOK 2009
Most love the funky pineapple-esters and easy drinkability for a DOK. Critics find it almost too tame with some light bitterness and shorter finish. Consensus: a very good, approachable high-ester Hampden.
Seasoned funk fans wanting a more relaxed DOK: you enjoy Hampden esters, pineapple and glue notes, and like exploring cask-strength rums that are still sippable without dilution.

Very mild and can be sipped away relaxed. Funky, pineapple, nail polish, ester probably do not need to mention. This bacon note I had only with the first Sipper, now only the Ester bomb comes to light.
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 😋
Ganz tolle, hochqualitative Abfüllung. Ein super DOK mit dem ganzen Funkpaket im Gepäck. Geschmacklich das, was die Nase verspricht, exzellent eingebundener Alkohol. Wirklich ein guter Tropfen, der im richtigen Moment Freude bereitet.
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.
