Tried at a rumshow, it might just have been the night but I was really impressed by it. Packed with flavour and as funky as you could get, if I would give it tasting notes it wouldn't sound good at all, that's how good it was! (No sarcasm) This bottle doesn't seem to get a lot of love here tho, so again I might have just been in a good mood at the time...

Review by Jakob
Once again lots of fruit esters and tropical fruits, plus intense medicinal notes, which fade into bitterness. The alcohol is present and could do with some taming, although a little oxidation already helps. The finish is a constant interplay of esters and medicinal aromas, a kind of overripe tropical fruit stand just before the operating theater. I don't perceive the sweet wine finish to be too dominant here, only in the finish is a little more of the heavy sweetness more clearly recognizable. I cannot agree with the very restrained overall rating, the release delivers what is to be expected - no more, but also no less.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser DOK ist von den drei gefinishten von CoR der bessere, jedoch auch nicht wirklich gut! Der Alkohol ist bei allen drei sehr schlecht eingebunden. Das Oloroso-Finish lässt dem DOK jedoch noch genügend Raum um sich zu entfalten. Das passt so halbwegs.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Jedu třetí vzorek po Madeira a PX. Možná už jsem přesycený, ale toto mi přijde nejmíň výrazné ve vůni. Chuťově bych řekl, že je to nejostřejší vzorek ze setu a závěr ještě víc useklý než Madeira. Na to, jak Jamajky miluju, je toto pro mě ne příliš povedený kousek.
Review by Johannes
Alcohol could be better integrated. Very astringent overall, but some fruit present.
Review by zabo
O.k. o.k., this one is a lot better than the one with the Madeira finish. CoR has probably just got its act together. The finish doesn't overpower everything here. The smell is rather dominated by the glue. In the mouth, it comes across as sharp-edged and the alcohol is not really well integrated. A rum with a certain oomph in the mouth. But much better than the Madeira. An unpleasant acidity emerges again in the finish.
Review by SaibotZtar
Die Nase ist hier wieder ganz DOK like... Ananas Papaya und Ester schöne Klebstoffnase 😁. Das Finish ist hier nur leicht zu erkennen bringt nur etwas süße und Traubige Notes ... Am Gaumen Der Alkohol mittelmäßig eingebunden... DOK noch gut zu schmecken, das Finish schlägt aber dann auch hier zu Trockenfrüchte und etwas Holzige Notes . Im Abgang ist er staubtrocken ...

Review by Martin Švojgr
Jasný Dok, ale to staření mi nesedí, sladkost z esterů hned spadnr do divné koňakové hořkosti. Zajímal by mne původní rum, ale skoro mi přijde, že to staření tomu spíše uškodilo. jsem bohužel docela zklamaný :-(
