The Warehouse #1 Overproof Rum John Crow Edition DOK is a unique, unaged Jamaican rum distilled at the historic Hampden distillery, renowned for its high-ester rums. Bottled at a robust 63% ABV, this rum is produced from molasses using a traditional Pot Still. It boasts an intense, estery, and fruity aroma with intriguing notes of glue, nail polish, fermented strawberries, and overripe banana. The flavor profile is equally complex, manifesting a surprising drinkability that has garnered high praise from the RumX community for its balance and deliciousness.
This rum offers a sensory experience that is both robust and intricate, revealing a surprising sweetness and a distinctive oily texture. Exotic fruits, reminiscent of black cherry cream, raisins, and citrus zest, are complemented by a slight copper undertone and a pleasing roundness. The aromatic power of this rum is remarkable, with 1600 grams of esters per hectoliter of pure alcohol, giving it the highest ester content of any Hampden rum.
The name "John Crow" pays homage to the smuggled rums that gave rise to the modern "overproof" category. Historically, such rums were illicitly obtained from distilleries and sold "under the table," catering to those brave enough to consume them. This rum's exotic fruits initially take a back seat, allowing red and black fruits to emerge, cloaked by a layer of varnish.
The history of this rum is as distinctive as its flavor. It begins with a tale of theft at the Great House of Hampden Estate, contributing to the mystique and allure of its high-ester aroma. This makes the John Crow Edition DOK a truly remarkable and unique rum experience.
