How does this rum taste?
The "Jamaica High Proof DOK" by Compagnie des Indes is a high-ester, pot still rum from Hampden Distillery, distilled in 2009 and aged for 9 years. Notable for its vibrant, estery aroma, it evokes scents of glue, overripe fruits, and pineapples. On the palate, it delivers bold ester notes, complemented by tropical fruits and a hint of citrus. Despite its high ABV of 55%, some find it less intense compared to other Hampden releases. Limited to 409 bottles, it's a distinct offering for those seeking a unique Jamaican rum experience. However, opinions vary on its intense profile and short finish.

One of the best Hampden bottled by the India Company that I have tasted!
A great hampden with all these markers without being too strong
Second tasting: a trace of smoke or bacon is added. I correct my rating by -4 points, because I have since learned other and better bottlings. So the relation is right again. A typical representative but with turbo booster. Compared with the standard bottlings of Hampden both in the nose and on the tongue much more intense and differentiated. The rum stays on the tongue forever. I would not be surprised if I can still taste it tomorrow morning!
On Christmas Eve 2022 together with the 44% and the 60% variant in direct comparison. Heavier and less fruity than the 44% variant. Very similar to the 60% variant You have to know what you're getting into with this one. Very intense, heavy and abrupt...a massive DOK indeed. For me, this vintage is a very special, because it is clearly different in profile from the younger ones and has a lot more to offer in terms of fruit and complexity.
