Hampden S.B.S Jamaica DOK 2018
People already deep into Jamaican funk are the audience here. It's a young DOK Hampden — six months old at nearly 60% — so expect wild esters, glue, and a rush of yellow tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, banana). The PX finish adds sherry and a creamier, slightly sweet edge. One taster called the finish the longest they'd ever had.
- Huge tropical esters
- Very long finish
- PX sherry depth

Wild, high-ester young Hampden DOK A vibrant, very young DOK with huge esters and a remarkably long finish. Most rate it highly, though some find better-balanced Hampdens elsewhere. Definitely not for beginners.

Review by Johannes
Einer meiner Lieblings-DOKs. Bei diesem finde ich das PX-Finish sehr gut eingebunden. Einfach alles stimmig!
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.

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