The cask definitely did quite some work here. On the nose I get a lot of wood and bourbon vanilla alongside roasted nuts. For a DOK nose, this is remarkably balanced and „round“. No questions asked: there is still plenty of funk with solvent notes and rich tropical fruits. Wood, chocolate and a lot of vanilla on the palate with plenty of power. Again there are tropical fruits, some funk and chemical notes. Yet this is all very much tamed by a lot of bourbon cask notes and not quite the „hammer“ I’m used to from other DOK bottlings. Looking at this bottling versus the DOK rare cask (RX13401), I can only reiterate how much work the cask has done here. Compared to the (older) RC bottling, the cask influence - vanilla in particular- has taken over too much to let the DOK funk fully shine. While you can find some DOK markers as said above, the balance in the RC is way better delivering a more complex profile with much more emphasis on rich fruits and spices. That being said, I still think this is a nice bottling and very enjoyable. It just doesn’t hit the DOK characteristics very much anymore.
Die Nase ist für einen DOK überraschend recht verhalten. Es sind zwar die klassischen Marker vorhanden, aber man muss sich schon sehr darauf konzentrieren. Der Gaumen ist allerdings enttäuschend.. von den tropischen Früchten ist wenig zu finden, die Ester werden von einer metallischen Bitterkeit begleitet.. dieses setzt sich auch im Abgang fort. Wer starken Holzeinfluss mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Bei einem DOK erwarte ich aber etwas anderes und das ist Funk!!!
Auto-translated#5607 Enjoyed at the Colours of Rum tasting at the German Rum Fest 2025. Now we're getting somewhere. Full power on the nose and palate. A nice intense and fruity profile, but it has a few edges and I think leaving for longer would hav benefitted it a lot. Still very fruity with lots of esters and fruits and a hint of flowers.
Auto-translatedAuch wenn die Rums im gnz hohem Esterbereich nicht mehr ganz mein Beuteschema sind, gefällt mir dieser DOK doch ganz gut. Die tropische Reifung hat ihn angenehm rund geschliffen. Tropische Frucht, geröstete Nüsse, Vanille, Holz, Bourbon und Gewürze mit Lösungsmittel. Die Ester schön zurückhaltend.
