How does this rum taste?
RumX members love its explosive high‑ester DOK profile: pungent esters and overripe tropical fruit on the nose with glue edges. The palate turns woody‑smoky with a salty touch and a peaty, Islay‑style note. At 65.6% cask strength it rewards a rest and suits bold sipping—or even a Rum & Cola. With about 20 community reviews and only 228 bottles, it’s a rising choice for adventurous palates.

At the beginning typical high Ester Hampden. In the finish discreet, but still well perceptible then peaty notes. Not bad, but does not quite meet my taste.
8:On the nose, esters bump in our nosetrils, with solvents, glue, as tropical fruits are overripe, like pineapple, citrus, hints of red fruits.Definitely a molasses is vegetal, wood young. On aeration, the wood is roasted with nuts, pastry, spicy with a cinnamon, salty.The molasses is floral, grassy with hay, notes of peat are also there. 7,5:On the palate, the attack is intense, pungent with esters, glue, salt, spicy, peated, tropical fruits are overripe, with a help of red fruits in moments even rotten.The molasses helps with an olive.Rest is welcome, as we get a new wave of different notes like roasted wood with crunchy bread, citrus and banana. 7,6:The finish is short, dry, but balanced with esters, smoky wood, confectionery, vegetal and fruity..
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that produces rum as well as alcohol for perfume. In all the rums from this distillery you will taste wild esters, after which your whole organism will soak up the smell of golden tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the "must try before you die" rums
On the nose the Islay cask takes out some of the liveliness. On the taste it even takes over too much. This combination of DOK and Islay does not work for me. It is too hot due to the ABV and the age, and the finish is not adding something. It turns it into something like a mezcal. Not a bad mezcal at all, but a mezcal is no Hampden…
