    How does this rum taste?

    The "High Ester Rum (13. German Rum Festival) DOK" from Jamaica's Hampden distillery is a bold, distinctive expression, known for its high ester content and potent 63.1% ABV. This limited edition was distilled in 2023 and aged in a sherry cask for 9 months. Users have noted its intense ester aroma, with sherry, dried fruit, and a hint of glue. The palate reveals sherry and ester dominance, complemented by tropical fruit and medicinal notes. While praised for its experimentation and distinctiveness, some found the sherry influence overpowering. This rum offers a unique experience, capturing the untamed DOK mark essence within a sought-after, artisanal bottling.

    Ich liebe Mai Tais und dieser Rum funktioniert hier ganz wunderbar Daher bewerte ich ihn sehr hoch

    GRF 2014 CoR tasting: sehr runder Rum, die wilde Natur des DOK gezähmt durch die Fasswahl. Besser als der PX DOK, aber verliert ein wenig seine DNA durch die Fasswahl. Insgesamt eher enttäuschendes Tasting :(

    Messebewertung 13. GRF.

    A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, CoR masterclass. A nose of esters, dried herbs, licorice and stewed fruit. The attack on the palate is lively, but the aromas are rather dark, with stewed fruit, prunes and overripe pineapple. The finish is too short. As with the CoR 62.9%, this rum doesn't really suit me, even though it has its qualities. I find it more balanced but also less interesting.
