A twelve year old Hampden DOK from Duncan Taylor, a calmer cask led take on the estate’s highest marque where the funk has mellowed into pineapple, brine and brioche over balanced oak, easier to sip than the name suggests.
Description
Bottled by Duncan Taylor as a Quarterdeck single cask, this is a twelve year old Hampden distilled in 2009 from the DOK marque, the highest ester recipe the Trelawny estate makes and one that sits near Jamaica's legal ceiling. It is a pure pot still molasses rum, and unusually for DOK this release has been tamed by the cask.
Twelve years in ex-bourbon have rounded the wild esters, so the glue and varnish of a young DOK have softened into pineapple, tropical fruit, brine and brioche with a sweet, fruity edge. At 50.8 percent the oak is well integrated and the rum drinks more gently than the marque usually implies. Bottled unsweetened, it offers the DOK signature in a calmer, more approachable format for drinkers curious about the style without the full assault.
