“Nose is very nice and intense. Lots of fruits and funk to begin with. After some time to breath, spices and some smokiness shows up. Very enjoyable yet demanding given the high ester level. High intensity on the palate as well: lots of fruits and ester notes. A bit of sweetness to balance the overall profile. Still quite lively while the cask took off the harshest edges.”

“Inspired nose with the expected fruit esters and heavy sweet notes of caramel, vanilla and pastry. The palate continues to be close to the expected DOK profile, the whole passes into tart fruit acidity, which in my eyes, however, lacks a clear counterpart in the form of heavy flavors - be it pointed sweetness or wood influences.”

“Pineapple and mango on neat ester with a portion of glue. On the palate, especially candied pineapple and a mix of other tropical fruits lingers on the tongue. The finish funky and creamy leaves nice fruit notes and contains no trace of alcohol felt. Even though the finish is very long the rum doesn't quite kill the palate (like some other DOK). Although it is a "relatively long" aged DOK I don't really see a trace of wood. Against so many fruity esters tannins and Co. have just no chance.”
