Review by cigares
An explosive nose due to the 80.5%, esters are first. But there's also young wood, pineapple and other tropical fruits, and a slightly dirty side. The palate is violent, but the alcohol, though very present, does not dominate. The fruit is there, along with a little wood. The finish is short and dominated by wood and dirt. Interesting for its excessive ABV on paper but tolerable in real life, and its evolutivity on the palate.
Review by Pavel Spacek
OMG - 80,6% with so high esthers is deadly combination. You cannot breathe for a while. Even "worse" feeling than my first experience with Reunion "Lava" Hampden je destilerka produkujici neuveritelne vonave rumy. Proto take cast jeji produkce smeruje jako zakladni surovina pro parfemy. Doporucuji ochutnat jemne a presto chutove neuveritelne bohate rumy starsi 20let, pripadne velmi mlade rumy s vysokou estherovou slozkou oznacovane jako DOK. Vysokeho objemu alkoholu se nebojte ;)
Review by Johannes
Unglaublich, dass man den DOK mit 80% überhaupt trinken kann. Der Alkohol ist erstaunlich gut eingebunden!
