    How does this rum taste?

    The Quarterdeck Single Cask Jamaica Rum, distilled at Hampden in 2009 and matured for 12 years, offers a complex profile with notable esters and tropical fruit flavors. Bottled at cask strength (50.8% ABV) by Duncan Taylor, this limited release of 335 bottles is characterized by a prominent glue and sweet aroma on the nose, with pineapple and ester-forward flavors. Users appreciate its balance between funk, fruit, wood, and spices, though some find the ester profile less intense than expected and alcohol integration lacking. Overall, it's seen as a decent expression with distinctive Hampden features, albeit a bit pricey for what it offers.

    Despite dilution high level!

    Tasted on the Whisky and Rum festival 2022. IJmuiden. www.zeewijck.nl Pretty funky Hampden. Def above LROK. Around <>H. Nose more funky than the taste. Might have sat in a Scotch cask. Just a whiff of peat present. A bit atypical for Hampden. Great balance between funk/fruit/wood and spices.

    This is in parts a really weird DOK. I dont think i get overly Esters, more so actually the cask. The esters have mellowd and blindly i have never wouldve guessed DOK. A not so great bottle i was not completely sorry to see go with this tasting.

    In the nose full DOK aroma. In the mouth a bit of disillusionment, in my eyes too strongly diluted. But especially with the DOK one is just used to full hut of ABV. As an entry into the DOK world but recommendable, only a bit expensive for it.
