How does this rum taste?
The Oloroso (Single Cask Jamaican Rum) DOK, crafted at Hampden distillery and bottled by The Colours of Rum, boasts an intense 63.4% ABV, highlighting the classic Jamaican funk with pineapple, ester, and glue aromas. While the tropical fruit palate gets high marks for authenticity, the alcohol's integration is frequently cited as less than ideal, leading to a sharp, bitter finish that some find overpowering. With only 323 bottles, this expression intrigues enthusiasts of bold rum profiles, though its Oloroso finishing raises mixed reception among users, attracting both admirers of its bold flavors and critics questioning its aged influence.

Tried at a rumshow, it might just have been the night but I was really impressed by it. Packed with flavour and as funky as you could get, if I would give it tasting notes it wouldn't sound good at all, that's how good it was! (No sarcasm) This bottle doesn't seem to get a lot of love here tho, so again I might have just been in a good mood at the time...
7,8:On the nose... 8,5:On the palate... 8,3:The finish is...
Once again lots of fruit esters and tropical fruits, plus intense medicinal notes, which fade into bitterness. The alcohol is present and could do with some taming, although a little oxidation already helps. The finish is a constant interplay of esters and medicinal aromas, a kind of overripe tropical fruit stand just before the operating theater. I don't perceive the sweet wine finish to be too dominant here, only in the finish is a little more of the heavy sweetness more clearly recognizable. I cannot agree with the very restrained overall rating, the release delivers what is to be expected - no more, but also no less.
Dieser DOK ist von den drei gefinishten von CoR der bessere, jedoch auch nicht wirklich gut! Der Alkohol ist bei allen drei sehr schlecht eingebunden. Das Oloroso-Finish lässt dem DOK jedoch noch genügend Raum um sich zu entfalten. Das passt so halbwegs.
