How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this Hampden DOK for its intense esters and overripe tropical fruit, led by pineapple. The palate is warm and fruity with a distinct smoky edge—sometimes whisky-like—finishing long with wood and light tannins. Several mention subtle herbal and caramel hints, and it shines in a Mai Tai. A newer listing with buyer confidence building and 11 community reviews.

#5449 04.07.2025 Time to try out this one 😊 Smells nice even when being poured. Nose Medium intense, ester, faint wood, fruity, overripe, pineapple, light banana. Palate Fresh, warm, medium intense, ester, fruity, overripe, naturally sweet, faint caramel, light herbal. Finish Long and warm, wood, light tannins, fruity, light citrus. Empty glass Herbs, light mint, light sour, faint cherry.
The nose is brilliant with esters, overripe fruit and some wood. Very intense esters on the palate; fruits are present, but these are overlaid by a smoky note. Also some herbs and caramel. Tannins and wood on the finish. The PLV is right for the nose, but the smoky aroma on the palate is a little disturbing to justify a higher rating. Fans of smoky whisky may get their money's worth here
Northern Lights Meeting 07/25: Nose Fruity Mouth Sweetly spicy with a slight smokiness. Interesting but doesn't pick me up either.
Great fruity, balanced Hampden profile at the start! Unfortunately, a smoky note in the finish, as if the rum had been in a whisky barrel. I'm not really into that...
