HoneyBatcher GmbH Rum Jamaica DOK 2021

Here's the surprise: a Pajarete sweet-wine finish on a full DOK, and it works. The label's cartoon fury is real — glue, nail polish, overripe banana and mango hit hard — but the cask folds in dried figs, red fruits and burnt sugar that tame the ester bomb without burying it. Young, intense, and at 60% the heat sits shockingly well hidden.

The look inside the bottle

How does HoneyBatcher GmbH Rum Jamaica DOK 2021 taste?

Aggregated from 35 community reviews.

Intense DOK funk softened by sweet-wine finish Members rate it one of the better short-aged DOKs with a finish — the sweet wine rounds the funk instead of wrecking it. A couple would still prefer it unfinished and bourbon-cask.

Perfect for

Hampden and high-ester DOK fans who like a fruity finish

Less suitable for

Anyone who finds glue-and-solvent funk overwhelming

Hier der Honeybatcher. Selten einen Rum so komplex in der Nase gehabt alleine dafür lohnt es sich..Banane ist hier sehr dominant. Auch im Geschmack einfach Lecker und man schmeckt die 60 Prozent kaum raus. Sehr intensiv hier am Gaumen.

War einer der ersten die diesen geilen Rum probieren durften. Eine echt super Ester Bombe, Fabi weiss was tut, ein geiler Typ. Jedenfalls ein wirklich geiler Jamaicaner. Eine Empfehlung geht raus für diesen DOK.

Edit: Nochmal mit DomM in Ruhe verkostet und ein wenig nach oben korrigiert Beim Sampeln kurz probiert, wenn ich mich recht erinnere meinte Fabi als Beschreibung dass es ein Rum auf Stereoide ist. Würde ich ehrlich gesagt auch so unterschreiben. Hut ab schmeckt super. Kompliment Fabi. Werde mich demnächst nochmal intensiv mit deinem Dok in Ruhe auseinandersetzen

Ich war skeptisch aufgrund des Süßwein-Finish, bin aber eines Besseren belehrt worden! Diese Esterbombe wird dadurch noch eine Spur komplexer, interessanter und auch zugänglicher. Die Nase ist leicht beißend alkoholisch, neben dem Ester kommt auch deutlich das Finish durch, daneben leicht verbranntes Karamell. Auf der Zunge empfängt einen erst die leichte Süße des Finish, um in den Wangen dann den Ester aufzublasen - sensationell! Hinten am Gaumen kommen dann rote Früchte, gebrannte Zucker mit leicht bitteren Anklängen, was aber perfekt passt. Ins Gesamtbild fügen sich meiner Meinung nach die Schwebstoffe aus dem Fass im Sample perfekt ein, sehr authentisch! Es sei denn, Zabo hat eine Kubanische darin ausgemacht und daher kommt das Sediment...

Wahnsinnig intensiver Vertreter selbst für einen DOK. Was die Intensität betrifft eine 12 von 10. Ich persönlich mag Bourboncasks etwas lieber. Aber das ist jammern auf sehr hohem Niveau. Geiles Teil!

Very powerful on the nose. Full DOK madness in your face - as you would expect. The finish adds some red fruits without overpowering the base Hampden. Even more power on the palate. Again the finish adds to the profile without overpowering. I like this much more than the very intense finishes from SBS for some of their recent-ish DOK releases. Very well executed. More fruits and a hint of additional sweetness adds to the straight forward DOK.

Sehr geiler Hampden! Das Etikett ist hier Programm und ich habe wieder zufällig einen Hampden mit Finish erwischt und wieder ist er gelungen! Viele Ester, total funky, adstringent am Gaumen, was ein bisschen durch die Süße gebrochen wird.

It's nice how the sweet wine barrel adds something to the DOK here and makes it more accessible, but at the same time doesn't destroy or spoil it, as is often the case nowadays. On the contrary ... harmonious in the nose and mouth with an interesting fruit add-on in the finish. Super Fabi. We're already looking forward to the next bottling.
