Review by Johannes
Despite dilution high level!
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Tasted on the Whisky and Rum festival 2022. IJmuiden. www.zeewijck.nl Pretty funky Hampden. Def above LROK. Around <>H. Nose more funky than the taste. Might have sat in a Scotch cask. Just a whiff of peat present. A bit atypical for Hampden. Great balance between funk/fruit/wood and spices.
Review by Adrian Wahl
In the nose full DOK aroma. In the mouth a bit of disillusionment, in my eyes too strongly diluted. But especially with the DOK one is just used to full hut of ABV. As an entry into the DOK world but recommendable, only a bit expensive for it.
Review by F.L.O.
Quite a nice sipper. Unfortunately, the esters are not expressive enough to play in the league of the top ones, ergo: more nose than taste. The alcohol is also not perfectly integrated...seems a little as if percentages and taste are missing
Review by SaibotZtar
Restrained but very tasty nose DOK unmistakable. Typical HD aromas paired with esters. Alcohol barely perceptible. On the palate you can immediately taste the reduction in ABV but still delicious with pineapple, banana and papaya. Some cookie dough and fruit esters. But then disappears from the palate atypically quickly. Good bottling but simply too expensive for what it delivers.
Review by zabo
Thanks Rums for the make-a-wish split. Unfortunately for me only an average DOK, not bad, but unfortunately it doesn't really convince me. I think it's a little too thin, I miss that certain funk, that boom in the mouth
Review by Thunderbird
Yes, clearly recognizable as DOK, but only in the beginning... here you can see more than clearly that the dilution has had a bad influence. The usual funkiness has unfortunately been lost... a real shame...

A little weak for a DOK on the chest

Zu stark verdünnt
