The Wild Parrot Hampden Exclusively Bottled for Sansibar DOK 2009
Made for people already deep into Hampden's DOK mark: an 11-year, 63.8% pot-still bomb of fermented pineapple, marzipan, esters and a smoky, slightly medicinal edge. Several tasters call it "wild" and love the overripe-banana fruit, though a few note vinegar and a hot, not-perfectly-integrated wood. Big, funky, and unmistakably Jamaican.
The community says- Fermented pineapple funk
- Marzipan and esters

Aggregated from 44 community reviews.
Intense, funky cask-strength DOK Hampden Loved by DOK fans for its intense fermented-fruit funk and long finish, but some find the acidity and cask-strength heat a bit much, and one taster missed the fruit entirely.

Review by Morgan Garet
Nez gourmand sur le kiwi, le massepain, pâte d'amande. Il s'ouvre ensuite sur les fruits tropicaux et le gros feutre. En bouche, on est bien sur un gros jamaicain, avec le marqueur indélébile bien costaud qui laisse place tantôt aux fruits tropicaux (ananas, banane) tantôt à la vanille et au côté légèrement pâtissier. Les 63 volts sont bien là pour vous donner de la force👊🏼 La finale est longue et aussi funky que le reste. Tout ce qu'on aime de la Jamaïque dans ce jus❤️
Review by Olimpia1936
Typical example of a continental Hampden that cannot keep up with the tropicals. Immediately on the nose and in the mouth the taste of pickled olives prevails and in the finish an almost musty aftertaste. No trace of fruit, hints of dried fruit. Short finish, the rum dies in the mouth instantly. At Hampden's we have had much more....
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one is really nice and touching your palate is like an explosion. Very fruity, even close to rotten fruits, nice hint of vanilla. Love the esters and lovely smoky wood finish.
Review by Jarek
Mega fruity, on the nose but also subsequently on the palate. Pleasant sweetness. Alcohol very well integrated, warm but not sharp.
Review by Frank
Wow, Hampden! And DOK! Of course, there is first of all ester without end. But also a fine artificial note in the direction of iodine. When the rum stands still in the glass for a while, a very slight hint of vinegar comes across. And of course almond. Fermented pineapple and citrus complete the nose. Hui, that pulls one's mucous membranes together. Very intense and unfortunately horny. It gets warm on the palate. Ester, bitter almond, pineapple and citrus! There is not much more I can perceive. I love DOK.The finish is medium long, remains faithful to the above and is just beautiful.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Nice doc that does not seem as brute as other representatives. Could I drink the whole evening and that is otherwise not a typical DOK feature.
Review by DomM
Nose feels more closed up. Intense and very nice in the palate.
Review by Mike H.
A rather smooth nose. The first sip is an explosion of fermented fruit, especially pineapple with a ton of funk. Lovely stuff 🥰
Review by Mentalo
Die Abfüllungen von CDI und Wild Parrot sind sich ähnlich. Sehr fruchtig ohne zu extrem zu werden. Recht viel Säure. Mehr Holzeinfluss als der z.B. der Letter of Marque. Beide sind sehr gut ausbalanciert. Der WP hat eine ausgeprägtere Rauchnote. Deshalb etwas schlechter bewertet
Review by lamb Dave
all… in all, the "dok", so funky!
Review by Giorgio Garotti
A very good hampden!The alcohol content of almost 64% is very noticeable and the rum has to breathe for a long time!But still, even here the balance of everything is very good!
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Quite light in color. It delivers intensity you would expect. After hgml this feels a bit too much on soury side. Also wood notes don't feel greatly integrated, they are tad harsh, same for alcohol. But to be honest this is my first aged DOK so no point of reference. Thank you Jury for the sample.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
schöner dok, mir persönlich bisschen zu viel essig, da sind LOM und CDI etwas besser, dennoch geiler Stoff🤙
