Review by Andi
Very mild and can be sipped away relaxed. Funky, pineapple, nail polish, ester probably do not need to mention. This bacon note I had only with the first Sipper, now only the Ester bomb comes to light.
Review by Thunderbird
Almost identical to the Rumclub Ed. 25! The ester well perceptible, but for a DOK very smooth and pleasant to drink! Already almost too tame and round!But tasty 😋
Review by primus
Ganz tolle, hochqualitative Abfüllung. Ein super DOK mit dem ganzen Funkpaket im Gepäck. Geschmacklich das, was die Nase verspricht, exzellent eingebundener Alkohol. Wirklich ein guter Tropfen, der im richtigen Moment Freude bereitet.
Review by Frank
Oh yes, clearly a DOK. Nose: intense, fine esters with neat fruit vinegar. Overripe, tart pineapple and mealy banana. There is also a slight sweetness of honey with a hint of marzipan. Palate: here, of course, the esters are also very intense and determinative, making it initially quite astringent. However, an interesting bacony note quickly comes through on this one, complemented by sour, ripe pineapple and a nice marzipan sweetness.On the finish, the pineapple lingers with some marzipan and it seems very slightly bitter. Crazy, after 20min I got something fishy, mackerel in Nachgeschmack🤷🏼♂️DOKs are quite simple in my view and don't deliver any distinct variety in my opinion, vary at most in subtleties. I find DOKs and other high esters but simply delicious.

02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 5 Notes Light in colour. Nose Medium intense, ester, faint wood, glue, fruit, overripe, faint marzipan, faint herbs. Palate Medium dry, faint wood, varnish, ester, fruity, overripe, light marzipan, banana. Finish Long and warm, ester, fruity, light herbal, fruits, faint citrus, light sour.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Beautiful DOK and unlike its brother actually one. Surprisingly mild and round, almost boring for a DOK. Nice marzipan note on the palate, makes it almost quaffable. In contrast to other bottlings really good drinkable.
Review by Oliver
Relatively "relaxed" DOK. Solvent, marzipan, pineapple come directly to mind. Then there is some bacon and smoke. Very nice bottling!
Review by Martin Švojgr
Moc vydařený Hampden s mnoha estery, hodnotil bych lépe, ale v úplném závěru cítím lehkou hořkost.
Review by Werni
Geschmeidiger DOK, zahmer als so mancher <>H. Gut trinkbar,gefällt mir. Marzipan ist allgegenwärtig. Danke dem edlen Spänder.😙
Review by SaibotZtar
Very restrained DOK everything is present ester fruit but somehow too little of everything. Finish light bitter notes and quite short for a Hampden. Not a bad rum but also nothing special.
