How does this rum taste?
The Caksus Jamaica Rum DOK, a limited release by Samaroli, originates from Hampden Distillery in Jamaica. Distilled in 2009, this rum matured for 12 years and showcases a potent profile typical of high-ester rums. At 59% ABV, it delivers pronounced notes of pineapple, esters, banana, and marzipan. Users appreciate its intense aromatic presence with hints of glue and varnish. While praised for its unique taste, some find it surprisingly mild for a DOK, with interesting complexity but noted bitterness in the finish. Overall, it's a distinctive option for enthusiasts of bold, funky rums. Only 301 bottles are available, making it a prized addition for collectors.

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.
