Experience the authentic tropical allure of Jamaica with this exceptional Samaroli 2009 Jamaica Hampden DOK No.5 Bottled for Caksus 12yo 2 Bottles SET. Meticulously distilled at the renowned Hampden Distillery and masterfully selected by Samaroli, this sophisticated 12-year-old rum is a true gem. Crafted from molasses using traditional pot still methods, it erupts with an intoxicating bouquet of tropical fruit, pineapple, ester, and glue, whisking you away to sun-soaked Caribbean beaches. Imagine stepping into a Jamaican barbecue with a palate vivified by flavors of pineapple, tropical fruit, ester, banana, and a hint of dryness. Your taste buds are tickled by roasted plantains, sharp nail polish remover, and a trace of pimento, paying homage to the spirit's intensely fruity profile.
The nose opens up with an intense ester blast, characteristic of Hampden DOK, with exotic fruits like very ripe banana and pineapple confirming the Jamaican roots. On the palate, this rum is balanced yet astringent, featuring tropical fruit flavors harmonized with a smoky undertone. Roasted notes revealed during nosing manifest as elegant smoked firewood, crispy bacon, and marshmallow-on-a-stick. The finish is long and complex, dominated by smoky wood, slight bitterness, and pineapple undertones.
This beautifully integrated cask strength rum, bottled at 56.1% ABV, is smooth and approachable, yet maintains the robust ester character that Hampden enthusiasts adore. It's perfect for sipping or as a refreshing twist to your favorite cocktails like a Daiquiri.
