And the last one from the S.B.S 2020 DOK series. These ester bombs are exactly my thing. Here, of course, esters, esters and more esters. Plus tropical fruits and pineapple. Simply great.
I am such a DOK fan and like everything that tastes a bit perverse, so the rating is accordingly. Of course you can taste that he is still very young and untamed, however, the Oloroso barrel already git with such a wormwood note in the finish again and there he is very mild. On the nose it reminds me a bit of speculoos and on the palate it has nice DOK esters
And now the third DOK, now in oloroso barrel... Nose: of course, again intense esters. Can not be otherwise. Here lemon is still before pineapple. And it goes more in the direction of solvent than glue. There is slightly more sweetness than with a Virgin Oak. But everything is perfectly in balance. 8,0 Palate: very close to port. Intense, esters without end, astringent at the start, sweet and sour pineapple, bacony texture. And some honey underscores the sweet impression. Pairs well together. 8,2 I've noticed it before: a DOK can "put away" a wide variety of finishes very well. While the sherry finishes in particular bother me more with other rums, it actually works quite well here.
Very coherent!
