DOK – Trelawny Jamaica Rum – Aficionados x Fine Drams
Clocking in at 1488.8 g/hLAA esters, DOK is an exercise in madness. It came off the pot still at 85.76% ABV and was diluted to a more palatable 69% ABV before bottling. It was distilled at an undisclosed Jamaican distillery in the Trelawny parish – it shouldn’t be hard to guess which distillery we’re talking about.
ABV: 69%
Nose: Strong, Punchy, rotting bananas, mangos, pineapple, Burnt Brown Sugar, Slight Meidicinalness
Palate: Thick oily mouthfeel, warm, heat. Blast of rotting funk, mangoes, guava, molasses, pineapple. Burnt Brown Sugar.
Finish: Long, lots of funky rotting fruits, slight vanilla, bitter over ripe blueberries, warm and tingly
Rating: 7/10
This thing is a blast of awesome funky rotting fruits and some other flavors that assaults your nose and palate. It’s super unique and fun to try. Ultimately though for me, its not something that I can say I reach for very often. I enjoy pulling it out on occasion but I find it shines best in making cocktails really fun and or interesting. I’m inclined to grab another bottle for posterity sake but unless I step up my cocktail game this is one that may take me a little while to finish a bottles worth.
