    How does this rum taste?

    The 8YO DOK rum is a Jamaican marvel crafted at the Hampden distillery and released by independent bottler Kintra. Distilled from molasses using a pot still, this 56.5% ABV rum boasts a highly aromatic profile characterized by intense notes of glue, esters, and tropical fruits. Enthusiasts often describe it as a "funky ester bomb," with a robust and complex palate featuring elements of fruit and spice. The finish, though economically brief and tannic, remains memorable. While appealing to those with a penchant for bold flavors, the DOK mark distinctly divides opinion and is praised for its signature Hampden intensity.

    Ich liebe Hampden, vor allem die DOK's, Spitzenklasse. Auch hier tolle, Esterhaltige Nase, außerdem wieder tropische Früchte und etwas Klebstoff sowie Lösungsmittel. Am Gaumen auch viel Ester und tropische Früchte (wie gehabt Ananas und Banane).

    JoA ne proper esterbombe halt 😅

    Eine echte Esterbombe, über die ich ohne Rumauctioneer wohl nie gestolpert wäre. Von Nase bis Abgang schmeckt man Ester, Lösungsmittel und überreife Tropische Früchte, allen voran Ananas. Holznoten sind nur sehr dezent zu schmecken. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden.

    21.02.2020 A small private event where we borrowed the basement bar area for a private tasting and also had a go at their food. Notes. Light in colour. Nose Intense, light wood, banana, fruity, ester, glue. Palate Intense, wood, spicy, fruity, banana, ester, vegetal, glue. Finish Long and spicy, iodine, banana, anise, ester.
