    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Hampden DOK for its explosive funky nose and superbly integrated 57.5% ABV. Expect pineapple and ripe banana over estery glue tones, leading to a powerful, tropical palate with hints of grilled pineapple and a light, smoky finish. With minimal wood and strong balance, ester fans call it highly drinkable. A popular limited release (304 bottles) with 53 reviews and strong community confidence.

    Great DOK ! Alcohol very well integrated. Hardly noticeable in the nose, really cool! Fruity(pineapple, papaya,)with nen concentrated charge ester. Slight wood influence .... becomes significantly more in the finish and there he falls for me also something . PLV is mMn not particularly good .... what makes the rum but not worse.

    Excellent DOK!

    Very nice DOK. But not outstanding. PLV is unfortunately not suitable at all. TRC, LOM, RC, CDI I find all a tad better. Great rum without question, but 235€ for a 0.7 liter V&M DOK from 2009 is too much. Update: must go up another point after tasting again
