Velier Hampden Cristina de Middel DOK 2021
"There comes the ester monster," as one taster put it — and that's the whole story here. This DOK Hampden is a wall of glue, varnish and overripe tropical fruit, with lemon-citrus and light wood underneath at a manageable 60%. Four years is young, but reviewers found it surprisingly balanced for such high esters. Reads more as a "case study" than an everyday pour.
The community says- Intense ester and glue
- Balanced for DOK
- Young at 4 years

Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Glue-and-overripe-fruit DOK ester bomb Members rate it well — a fruity, balanced ester bomb of glue, varnish and overripe fruit. Not an everyday bottle, and a couple felt the mark didn't fully win them over.

#5705 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is a nice ester bomb with a whole load of overripe and rotten fruit. I still didn't convince me and the price tag is too high in my mind. Intense and fruity with light wood, ester, glue and spices and a very long finish.

Elle se compose de quatre rhums Hampden, âgés de 4 à 9 ans, tous embouteillés à 60 % : DOK 2021 HGML 2018 <>H 2017 LROK 2016 S’il fallait en retenir un, ce serait le <>H 2017, doté d’une belle douceur naturelle, bien équilibré et fruité, même s’il manque un peu de longueur en bouche. Sur le plan gustatif, cette série n’a rien de révolutionnaire, mais elle se distingue par ses magnifiques étiquettes signées Cristina de Middel, qui subliment la distillerie Hampden à travers son regard artistique.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Très bon DOK même si bien sûr ça n'est pas un rhum de tous les jours.
