Hampden The Nectar Of The Daily Drams DOK 2020
Glue, solvent and overripe pineapple hit first — this is Hampden's highest-ester DOK mark at full 65.6% cask strength. Several tasters get banana, citrus and red fruit under the industrial funk, with young wood and a smoky, salty edge from what a couple describe as an Islay-cask influence. Not everyone loves that peat-plus-DOK mix; a few found it turned oddly mezcal-like and hot.
The community says- Big Hampden esters
- Overripe tropical fruit
- But: Very hot ABV

Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Full-strength DOK funk with a smoky edge Classic DOK ester bomb — pineapple, banana and glue with a smoky twist. Loved by funk fans, though a few found the Islay-cask peat and high ABV pull it off course.

Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose, esters bump in our nosetrils, with solvents, glue, as tropical fruits are overripe, like pineapple, citrus, hints of red fruits.Definitely a molasses is vegetal, wood young. On aeration, the wood is roasted with nuts, pastry, spicy with a cinnamon, salty.The molasses is floral, grassy with hay, notes of peat are also there. 7,5:On the palate, the attack is intense, pungent with esters, glue, salt, spicy, peated, tropical fruits are overripe, with a help of red fruits in moments even rotten.The molasses helps with an olive.Rest is welcome, as we get a new wave of different notes like roasted wood with crunchy bread, citrus and banana. 7,6:The finish is short, dry, but balanced with esters, smoky wood, confectionery, vegetal and fruity..
Review by Johannes
At the beginning typical high Ester Hampden. In the finish discreet, but still well perceptible then peaty notes. Not bad, but does not quite meet my taste.
Review by Richard Krupa
Very similar to the orange braska, but this one tastes very good to me, raselina and esters
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that produces rum as well as alcohol for perfume. In all the rums from this distillery you will taste wild esters, after which your whole organism will soak up the smell of golden tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the "must try before you die" rums
Review by Rum man
On the nose the Islay cask takes out some of the liveliness. On the taste it even takes over too much. This combination of DOK and Islay does not work for me. It is too hot due to the ABV and the age, and the finish is not adding something. It turns it into something like a mezcal. Not a bad mezcal at all, but a mezcal is no Hampden…
