Ich liebe Mai Tais und dieser Rum funktioniert hier ganz wunderbar Daher bewerte ich ihn sehr hoch
Review by Alex1981
GRF 2014 CoR tasting: sehr runder Rum, die wilde Natur des DOK gezähmt durch die Fasswahl. Besser als der PX DOK, aber verliert ein wenig seine DNA durch die Fasswahl. Insgesamt eher enttäuschendes Tasting :(

Messebewertung 13. GRF.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, CoR masterclass. A nose of esters, dried herbs, licorice and stewed fruit. The attack on the palate is lively, but the aromas are rather dark, with stewed fruit, prunes and overripe pineapple. The finish is too short. As with the CoR 62.9%, this rum doesn't really suit me, even though it has its qualities. I find it more balanced but also less interesting.
Review by Leo Krüper
Schönes DOK Experiment aus dem PX Cask. Hintenraus leider zu wenig Körper, sonst hätte das hier was sehr gutes werden können.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Mir persönlich viel zu viel Sherry Einfluss.
Review by zabo
I actually quite like DOKs, but this one didn't really grab me. The finish this time is not as strong as I thought, so the base is more recognizable than in their three DOK set with the extremely awful finishes. Yes it's ok, but unfortunately nothing more and it wasn't hard for me not to buy the bottle. I think CoR is on the upswing at the moment.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Auf dem 13. GRF probiert. Für mich viel zu starker Sherry Einfluss. Hier wurde der Rum zu hart in den Hintergrund gedrückt. Würde mich tatsächlich interessieren wie viel Sherry im Fass geblieben ist. Hoffe der Trend junge High Ester Rums im Sherry zu ersaufen hört bald auf.
