How does this rum taste?
- Intense ester aroma
- Distinct tropical fruit flavors
- Well-integrated alcohol
The S.B.S DOK - PX Cask DOK is a Jamaican rum from the Hampden distillery, distilled in 2020. This rum, selected by 1423 World Class Spirits, is known for its intense ester aroma complemented by notes of pineapple, tropical fruit, and banana. With an ABV of 57%, it delivers a powerful tasting experience dominated by pineapple, ester, and honey, with slight sherry cask influence. While its bold ester and tropical notes captivate some, others mention its overwhelming alcohol presence and perceive it as slightly unbalanced due to its youthful character. The added sweetness from the PX cask is noted as a point of contention. Overall, it is appreciated for its distinctive Hampden profile and aroma, although some suggest more aging could enhance its depth.

"Sehr schöner Hampden. Mir kommt in derNase gleich Ester und auch Zucker entgegen. Ich liebe diesen Geruch ja sehr. Im Gaumen ist er dann zusÀtzlich noch sehr intensiv und leicht alkoholisch. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Lecker."
"DOK is really cool... and beautiful... and if a rum can stand any other kind of barrel maturation, then it's DOK. That's why I'm going to keep an open mind... Nose: Ester without end. No question about it. Plus the typical pineapple and banana as well as lemon. Marzipan sweetness is not missing either. The PX lends a pleasant smoky note and transforms the otherwise fine glue and something thicker, towards nail polish. What can I say, it harmonizes. 8,1 Palate: intense esters!!! Initially astringent then grilled pineapple, closely followed by intense sweetness, like from sugar syrup or candied something. Very clearly due to the PX. A little too much sweetness and PX for me. 7,7"
"Interessante Melange, die sĂŒss-saure Aromatik aus tropischen Fruchtestern und sĂŒssem Sherry kann aber deutlich besser funktionieren, wie beispielsweise die Pagos-Releases zeigen. Zeigt sehr deutliche Alkoholaromen. Wirkt auf mich zu jung und unausgewogen."
"Das hier ist der aus der 1423 2020 DOK-Reihe, von dem ich mir am Meisten erwartet habe, weil ich Peter Siemens FĂ€sser mag und der, der mich am Meisten enttĂ€uscht hab. Klar, so das typische geile DOK Profil - vergorene Ananas, Kekse, noch mehr Ester, etwas Holz in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann hauptsĂ€chlich die DOK-Ester, und schon einen ganz kleinen Anklang von Sherryfass - man muss da aber wirklich genau hinschmecken. und der Abgang ist dann relativ unspĂ€ktakulĂ€r. Ein paar Jahre mehr hĂ€tten den wohl spannender gemacht - oder vieleicht sogar ein Bad in einem Nico Kröger Sherryfass - man muss ja grade bei SherryfĂ€ssern vorsichtig sein, wie viel die bringen, nachdem ja mittlerweile in Spanien fĂŒr die Whiskyindustrie massenhaft SherryfĂ€sser hergestellt werden, mit Zeug, das dann teilweise weggekippt wird, anstatt dass die Spirituose in irgendwas lagert, was wirklich mal lecker und schön war."
