The Nectar Hampden The Nectar Of The Daily Drams DOK 2020
Overripe pineapple, glue and solvent hit first — classic high-ester Hampden DOK at full 65.6% cask strength, but this one sat in an Islay cask, so there's smoke and a little iodine layered in too. Most tasters get tons of tropical and stone fruit; the peat is mild but present. A few felt the cask muddied things and the heat needs taming.
- Overripe tropical fruit
- Wild esters
- Smoky twist

How does The Nectar Hampden The Nectar Of The Daily Drams DOK 2020 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Funky DOK Hampden with a smoky Islay edge Loved for its wild esters and overripe tropical fruit, with a smoky Islay twist. Opinions split on the peat — some enjoy it, others feel it fights the DOK. Hot and needs rest.

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…
