Samaroli Hampden Caksus Jamaica Rum (Recalled) DOK

Complex, bold, and intriguingly unconventional rum.

An intriguing, cask-strength rum with a complex aroma of tobacco, dried fruits, and leather, balanced by a woody, roasted, and subtly bacon-inflected palate. Our community finds its distinctiveness both unexpected and engaging.

    • Engaging, unique palate
    • Cask strength character

    This limited-edition Jamaican rum, distilled from molasses in 2009 and aged 12 years at the Hampden distillery, surprises with an engaging mix of tobacco, apple, dried apricot, kiwi, and leather on the nose. On the palate, woody and roasted notes mingle with hints of bacon and rich tobacco, offering a truly unconventional experience. Our RumX community has noted its unpredictable character, with some reviewers comparing it to Clarendon and even hinting at a Guyana influence. Despite the label controversy, the spirited conversation in the RumX community confirms its appeal and encourages further exploration in our marketplace.

    "A DOK is definitely not! I do not even think that is a Jamaican... maybe a blend with Long Pond... if this nose with great fruit would have persisted on the palate, it would have been a really great rum! Unfortunately, however, the palate can not keep up... it is not complex and intense enough... too bad! But good he is nevertheless!"

    "I would not necessarily have recognized as DOK. Much more fruity and sweet, almost floral on the nose. The esters are there, but not overpowering everything. I find more papaya and kiwi here instead of pineapple and banana. Sweetness of orange syrup comes in and even a hint of tobacco. Very unusual.Also unusual on the palate for a DOK: spicy-woody up front, only then do the esters come in. At first, licorice and mint are discernible for me. Slightly bitter and toasty-bacony it is. In the back out even a little grassy.licorice and something grassy also in the finish.Can not actually believe that this is a Hampden and even a DOK should be!?!?!! Would have rather put it with Clarendon. (Although he is not bad, even quite tasty)."

    "I'm curious if at some point it will come out what was really in it. My guess is either a Monymusk or a Hampden OWH. In principle, a good rum that lacks some character."
