How does this rum taste?
The S.B.S DOK - Port Cask DOK is a Jamaican rum distilled at Hampden in 2020 using molasses and a pot still. With a high ABV of 57%, it offers a bold profile dominated by esters, pineapple, and tropical fruits. Users highlight its intense aromatic qualities and a palate featuring honey and a port wine influence. While some appreciate its sweet and ester-heavy notes, others find the alcohol presence too overpowering. Despite this, it stands out as a sophisticated choice among high ester rums, characterized by a unique balance of fruit and sweetness, with a port-infused twist. Seekers of distinct rum experiences will find it noteworthy.

Einerseits ist die Nase hier deutlich intensiver und ester-lastiger. Andererseits kommen hier deutlich mehr rote beeren Früchte, mehr süße und mehr Gebäck Noten hinzu. Deutlich intensiver und ausgewogener wie der Sherry cask dok und das insgesamt beste Mundgefühl.
Now the DOK with port tire... Nose: a little closer to a usual DOK than the PX. Intense esters again with pineapple. Subtle almond flavors and honey come through before the glue takes over. Overall a bit brighter than the relatively dull PX. 8.1. Palate: nice and intense esters, lots of grilled and thus candied pineapple with honey. Seems a bit bacon-creamy out back. I only detect the Port influence in the slightly increased sweetness. Fits great and tastes good. 8.3 Compared to a Virgin Oak DOK, a bit finer and sweeter but not at all over the top. Ok, were also only 2 years in the barrel.
A nice profile in itself, the port sweetness harmonizes nicely with the fruit esters, the heavy sweetness doesn't overpower either - however, the alcohol is noticeably pushing forward here. Unfortunately, it's far too dominant for me, which is why I'm a little more cautious with the points - but High Ester and ex-port cask undoubtedly have potential.
Dieser Rum ist ganz gut. Ich finde nur er schmeckt etwas zu sehr alkoholisch. Liegt vielleicht daran, dass er von 2020 ist, bin da aber jetzt nicht so der Experte ;-) Aber für den relativ günstigen Preis völlig in Ordnung.
