“Relatively "relaxed" DOK. Solvent, marzipan, pineapple come directly to mind. Then there is some bacon and smoke. Very nice bottling!”

“Very restrained DOK everything is present ester fruit but somehow too little of everything. Finish light bitter notes and quite short for a Hampden. Not a bad rum but also nothing special.”

“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.”
