"This one is really nice and touching your palate is like an explosion. Very fruity, even close to rotten fruits, nice hint of vanilla. Love the esters and lovely smoky wood finish."
"A very good hampden!The alcohol content of almost 64% is very noticeable and the rum has to breathe for a long time!But still, even here the balance of everything is very good!"
"Nose feels more closed up. Intense and very nice in the palate."
"Nice doc that does not seem as brute as other representatives. Could I drink the whole evening and that is otherwise not a typical DOK feature."
