The Nectar Hampden The Nectar Of The Daily Drams DOK 2021
Hot glue, solvent and varnish hit first, then overripe banana, sour pineapple and a phenolic, ashy smoke — this is Hampden's DOK mark unaged at cask strength. Several tasters find plenty of ester on the nose but wish for more of the fruity funk on the palate, and a few say the 60% alcohol isn't tucked in cleanly. Works both as a sipper and in a daiquiri.
The community says- Intense ester nose
- Overripe tropical fruit
- Hot alcohol

Aggregated from 28 community reviews.
Unaged DOK: glue, banana, phenolic funk Loud on ester, glue and phenol, but opinions split: fans of the mark find the palate thinner than expected and the alcohol a bit rough. Better DOKs exist, several say.

Review by Nelis
I'm starting to appreciate this more with every sip. There is so much going on. A delicious contrast between fruity, savoury and spicy.
Review by Rare Akuma
Exciting and extremely fruity nose. Lots of red fruits, a little bit of yellow banana, squashed grapes and pineapple juice turned sour. Structures from raw honey, citrusy juniper and olive brine. The DOK is obviously brutally medicinal: hot glue, solvents and phenolic smoke and ash. Red fruit bubblegum on the palate. More raw honey, now accompanied by sugarcane and green, dry earth notes. It’s lightly woody and ashy. More glue, more solvents, more phenol. Chamomile tea at the end into fresh flowers. The finish is smoky and ashy with red fruits and aniseed. Like most whites in this category, this is very interesting and has applications both as a mixer and a sipper.
Review by RumTaTa
Passable unstored DOK, but in comparison with the RDL White DOK (RX10371) a wallflower 😉.

#4739 07.06.2024 Found a nice secluded spot in this moving dune to enjoy a few samples. Nose Intense, ester, varnish, banana, overripe, fruity. Palate Intense, warm, ester, fruity, overripe, faint smoke, banana, faint caramel. Finish Long and warm, ester, faint tar, light mango, faint smoke, light caramel.
Review by Tom Buteneers
In comparison with RX5674: “fresher” and more citrusy. Glue and solvents, pineapple even a bit of bubblegum that reminds me a bit of HERR (not as good though).
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Typical DOK profile. Overripe fruit meets umami notes reminiscent of bacon and beef jerky. Also solid in the daiquiri. But just no over DOK.... Especially overall not very much fruit and a bit too much phenol and nail polish remover.... there's better! Slowly it's enough then also with the ester Mark at least in the unaged area...
Review by Nicholas Hardy
Nose: ester glue, butterscotch, slight crème brûlée, wet Pallet: dry bakers chocolate with berries , dirt, slight pineapple Finish: unpopular opinion….cheap cocaine, old, dry
Review by Thunderbird
This DOK is much weaker compared to the Warehouse DOK, the alcohol is not as well integrated and the Jamaica funk is more restrained
Review by Johnny Rumcask
DOK? In der Nase, ja. Geschmacklich, eher nein. Wo ist der Funk? Taugt vielleicht zum Mischen. Für Esterfans, die das DOK Erlebnis suchen eine Enttäuschung.

As expected, a lot of esters. I don't find the alcohol inclusion so elegant.
