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.

JoA ne proper esterbombe halt 😅
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.
A rum that doesn't fool anyone: DOK reveals a very funky profile, with an explosion of esters, glue and solvents, very ripe tropical fruits and citrus. There are also notes of spice, vanilla, marzipan and wood, as well as a touch of freshness. The palate is heavy, oily and very aromatic, carried by a fruity, tannic and slightly spicy frame. The finish, marked by tannins, is on the other hand very short, quite thin and light with some fruit, esters and spices scents. It is a real pity that such an aromatic rum initially ends on such a disillusionment. It is nevertheless an example of the aromatic power that Hampden has to offer.
Super funky chemical high ester rum. More on the chemical side than fruits or oak. Very interesting though. Hate or love it rum.
