"Nice Hampden, although I would have expected a little more ester in a DOK. Alcohol well integrated."

"#4234 03.09.2023 this was a nice blind tasting where I saw the black Glencairn tasting glasses for the first time. First off, price to quality is pretty good. A fruity thing with nice esters and I'd say some nice funk as well. Needs to rest for a good while to release all the flavours and remove the bite from the ABV. The empty glass is nice and has some polish and light dried fruit."

"Very ambivalent here since one may not actually believe that one is drinking a DOK here. The nose is good but not intense. The taste is a lot of honey until the finish with ester notes that remain very much in the background. You could also be really bad and write Don Papa on ester, but then it is not quite so bad."

"Here I had expected much more... strangely, you taste here the 3 years more in the barrel not great out in contrast to the known 2009 DOKs. Unfortunately, both on the nose and in the taste quite exhausting, cutting and pungent alcoholic, almost reminiscent of vinegar. I miss the nice pastry sweetness here, the vanilla cream, all the yellow fruit and generally the fruitiness is barely present here. For me, unfortunately, an overall somewhat disappointing DOK.🤷🏼♂️"
