Fans of Hampden's wildest ester bombs are the target here — this is DOK, the highest-ester mark, at cask strength and only six months old. Expect glue, solvent and a rush of yellow tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, banana), with a PX finish adding raisin and a touch of cream. One taster called the finish the longest they'd ever had. Young, vibrant, and not shy.
The community says- Wild tropical esters
- Very long finish
- But: Only 6 months old

Young, high-ester Hampden DOK at cask strength Loved by DOK fans for its huge ester punch and remarkably long finish, with the PX cask nicely woven in. Very young and intense — one reviewer flatly said "not for beginners."

Review by Johannes
One of my favorite DOKs. I find the PX finish very well integrated here. Simply everything fits!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This very young rum (6 months) has the longest finish I have ever tried. This has to be a Hampden rum though not stated anywhere on the bottle. It just keeps on giving and you v can smell it long after it's gone.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery, you can smell wild esters, after which your whole body soaks up the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die".

Extremely complex, not for beginners. Once again, 1423 has dropped a bomb on the market.

Awesome strong DOK
Review by Henry Davies
Hamoden DOK with a sweet and more mellow side with PX finishing. Very classic finish with more cream than normal, enjoyable tropical note and banana. The nose is light with ester, glue and some sherry. The mouth is a mix of wood, glue, and some caramel notes. Interesting rum, many better balanced Hampden rums but young and vibrant DOK
