One taster called this a "bomb of esters" — and that's the whole story. A young Hampden DOK finished in Pedro Ximénez, so you get glue, overripe pineapple, banana and that medicinal high-ester punch, wrapped in sweet sherry fruit. The catch most people name: the PX finish and the youth leave it a bit unbalanced, with a bitter, astringent edge on the palate.
The community says- Huge ester punch
- Tropical PX fruit
- Keep in mind: Bitter, astringent finish

How does CoR Hampden Pedro Ximénez (Single Cask Jamaican Rum) DOK 2023 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Wild young DOK with a sweet PX twist Loved for its wild ester-and-glue intensity plus PX sweetness, but many find it young and unbalanced, with a bitter, astringent finish. Rated best of the three CoR bottlings by several.

Most helpful positive review
Very intense on the nose, the profile matches a young, tropically matured Hampden. On the palate, the youthful freshness is still somewhat stronger, although the ageing in ex-sweet wine barrels has already added a pleasant expression and heavy sweetness. A successful release.

Probably by far the strangest DOK I've drunk so far. The nose is exactly what you would expect, but the palate is totally wild. Unusually dry even if the viscosity of the PX sherry is recognizable, mineral, astringent, medically bitter and super furry in terms of mouthfeel. Unfortunately, I don't like it at all, the GRF bottling was much better.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, CoR masterclass. A dry nose with esters but also dry herbs and a sweetness that undoubtedly comes from the PX. The attack is soft on the palate, the esters are present but not too lively. The finish is a little short. A rather strange rum that's not bad but doesn't appeal to me either.
Review by zabo
Of the three bottlings from Colours of Rum, this one is slightly ahead for me. The finish is borderline, but still within reason. The base material recedes a little into the background and lacks a little depth, but the alcohol is the best integrated of the three. Unfortunately not a unicorn either, but okay for the price.
Review by mto75
Unfortunately, it doesn't pick me up, alcoholic on the nose alternating with intrusive sweetness (a bit like cold mulled wine). The classic DOK notes are somehow lost. Similar on the palate, with a rather sharp finish.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, esters are inevitable, as glue, then overripe tropical fruits burst into the wide open, pairing dried fruits.As we could scent some red wine, perhaps sherry later on.There are bananas, pineapple, red fruits, plum, raisins....They are melted into the marmelade.The wood is roasted with burnt sugar, nuts, marzipan, caramelized. An aeration brings out herbaceous molasses with menthol, coffee and fresh lime. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is a bit wild, rough, edgy with medicinal notes, roasted wood, bitter molasses and spiciness, until overripe tropical, dried fruits round the rum and please our tasting buds with really tasty marmelade. It becomes dry and more vegetal with an olive, after we air it a bit.Sweet strawberries come in the game, some other red fruits, as we might think of a sherry or some sweet red wine teasing the buds.After resting, coconut and yeast residual might be tasted. So, after the first attack, it becomes balanced and leads to a very tasty and balanced finish... 8,5:The finish is long and tasty, the palate notes are in balance now, as some earthy cigar notes are evident after the sip is well gone... Edit:14.12.-resting, oxidation helps, I like it, no edges like before.
Review by Thunderbird
A fresh Hampden DOK with a PX finish ... is unfortunately not the best choice in this case. Still relatively classic markers on the nose with a slight PX influence, the finish on the palate is unfortunately somewhat destructive... at least as far as the Mark DOK is concerned. There is very little funk left. An unpleasant bitter note accompanies you.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
WLP 2025 tasting. Not for every hand and palate 🤯 One drop is enough to taste this ester bomb, we are on a mark DOK, between 1500 and 1600 gr/hlpa! Almost XXL perfume, or some medicines when you enter a pharmacy, blast of esters, sharp spices, ultra concentrated tropical fruits, excessive brine, green and black olives, cured meats, umami, sweet and salty Asian sauce, varnish and glues, diesel too. Endless finish, the mouth is saturated. Atypical, extreme, experimental.
Review by Basti
Trade fair review. Tasted during the Colours of Rum tasting. On the nose it is unmistakable that this is a high ester rum. Also some sourness and sherry notes. On the palate super intense but very unbalanced. Not my favorite.
Review by Alex1981
GRF 2014 CoR tasting: Good combination, DOk with its high esters, super dry components paired with the sweetness of PX. Doesn't feel completely rounded, especially towards the end it has its edges and corners. Still an interesting experiment.
Review by Martin Ekrt
The finish and the Jamaican base created a great aroma. A complete perfume. Very nicely connected. There is still sharpness that kicks, but it is more rounded than Madeira. The finish is also more successful. It is dense, molasses-like.
Review by Johannes
The finish comes through, but this DOK is rather on the bitter, astringent side. The alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5335 Tasting at the German Rum Fest 2024 where I forgot to put the tasting live 😂 Nose Fresh, round, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, overripe, light glue, banana, spice, light ester. Palate Light, wood, light roasted, fruity, light glue, overripe, faint earthy, light mango, dried fruit, light ester. Finish Round, light, wood, light roasted, ester, licorice, spice.
Review by Ian Gilman
Wow DOK. The slight aging in PX (and Oloroso, for the other in the line) really works with the wildness of the DOK.
Review by SaibotZtar
In the nose beautiful ester notes and nail polish paired with a sweet fruitiness... goes down quite well ... Alcohol slightly biting . On the palate The alcohol is very present at first... the DOK is easy to recognize with the usual markers...but the finish comes through quite quickly . All in all quite ok (I'm just not a big fan of finish(ing) 🤣
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2023, in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask, bottled from a single barrel. I rate it 8.1 out of 10, a very good rum.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Soooo many esthers that you even cannot breath .. Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
Review by Martin Švojgr
Z trojice lahví CoR je tato rozhodně nejlepší. Nic nekazí chuť esterového lepidl Sherry PX zde myslím dobře integrováno. Jinak je to ale pořád ostrá jamajská lepidlová prasárna. Nepropitý tohle nedopije.
Review by Stijn Zino
Like you would expect in the nose. Strong Jamaica on PX casks. Lacks a bit depth, but 100% price-quality!
Review by BartoszWhisky
Quite interesting for such a youngster. Lack of complexity is obvious of course. Modern PX notes in taste can be found, would let that cask rest a few more years for better results.
Review by Richard Krupa
beautiful fragrance, warms up nicely, slightly sour and strong finish, much better than CoR oloroso
Review by Michal S
Decent young Hampden DOK, with barrels of Pedro Ximénez shining through. Very fruity, ester-rich.
