This limited-release rum, marked DOK, offers a vibrant ester-rich aroma with notes of pineapple and green apple. On the palate, it provides bold esters, funky tropical fruit flavors, and a mild overripe character, appreciated by enthusiasts for its intense, oily texture and long finish.

    Mein erster DOK. Absolut brachial und genau das, was man von so einem Vertreter erwarten würde. Ich mag das sehr und immer mehr zeigt sich, dass ich diese Esterbomben mit relativ geringer kontinentaler Reifung einfach nur geil finde. Klar, sowohl in Mund und Nase erschlägt einen das beinahe und natürlich kenne ich Abfüllungen, die noch etwas komplexer und ausgewogener sind, wie zb den FRC C<>H. Allerdings gibt es hier kaum etwas, was mich wirklich stört. Im Mund ist er sehr ölig und cremig, vollmundig, süß, kräftig und einfach sehr lecker

    Sau leckerer DOK, mehr auf der Oliven Salzlake Seite aber insgesamt einfach extrem harmonisch! Preis Leistung damals einfach der Hammer gewesen...

    It is and remains a liquid legend. But I'll go down a point after tasting it again.

    Mega horny, brutal Hampden! Reminds of the freshness / fruitiness almost to "New Yarmouth". Lots of olive on the palate. How about a dirty martini? 😜
