CoR Hampden High Ester Rum (13. German Rum Festival) DOK 2023
Fans enjoy the funky DOK core tamed by rich sherry notes, while critics find it messy, thin and overpoweringly sherried. Consensus: a solid, interesting experiment for Hampden finish lovers, not a benchmark DOK.
Hampden and high-ester fans who like bold sherry finishes, enjoy experimental young cask-strength rums, and want an assertive mixer or occasional neat sipper with funky-tropical, dried-fruit character.

Funky DOK wrapped in bold sherry
If you enjoy Hampden funk and sherry finishes and don’t mind some rough edges, this is a fun, limited DOK to play with—especially in Mai Tais and bold cocktails.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, and DOK purists who dislike heavy sherry influence or expect a super clean, fruit-driven, long-finishing sipper.

Ich liebe Mai Tais und dieser Rum funktioniert hier ganz wunderbar Daher bewerte ich ihn sehr hoch
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.
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.
