The "Haiti (HD DOK Cask Finish)" rum is distilled at the Barbancourt distillery in Haiti and bottled by The Rum Cask. This cask-strength rum boasts an ABV of 63.8% and showcases ester and tropical notes in both aroma and flavor, complemented by the impact of its 20-year aging and unique DOK cask finish. Users frequently note its creamy and buttery palate with hints of caramel and fruity undertones, though some find the finish overpowering or overly alcoholic. While it has potential, the complexity of the finishing mask may overshadow the original Barbancourt essence.

"Hampden finishes make me immediately curious. In this case, that doesn't work for me. The DOK finish is weakly present, hovering over the aromas like an impenetrable veil on the palate. somehow uninspired and alcoholic."
"A quick sip while I sampled it. The first impression is not bad, but not outstanding either. The DOK finish is undeniable in my opinion. The palate is better than the nose. As expected, an extremely solid bottling once again at a fair price. Edit: now tasted again at my leisure. My conclusion is good, but I wouldn't necessarily need another bottle."
"I can't do anything with this bottling.... On the nose, I only perceive vanilla and a few sweetish yellow fruits. The palate somehow gives even less. You can just perceive some DOK influence, then bitterness, metallic aroma and weak sweetness. Somehow that's nothing. Too bad"
"The nose is not a revelation at first and rather unpleasant to meaningless with an alcoholic note ... but gets better after a little standing time. Then actually better on the palate. Buttery with caramel over the fruit and a few influences from the DOK cask. Still not a winner."
