Dictador - Colombian Rum 20 Years - 70cl
Reference: 2779A
Dictador is a rum brand from Colombia. With a glorious history spanning more than 100 years in spirits production, Dictador embodies a lifestyle that is both modern and luxurious. Dictador rums are produced at the Destilaria Colombiana in Cartagena, which takes advantage of its exceptional tropical climate to grow high-quality sugarcane. Dictador 20-Year-Old is first aged for 18 years in bourbon barrels, followed by a 2-year finish in port barrels, which lends it roundness and richness. Richer, finer, and more complex than its 12-year-old counterpart, it is characterized by a heady profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and roasted cocoa. The finish offers notes of dried fruits and exotic fruits. - Origin: Colombia - Appearance: This rum boasts a beautiful coppery hue with orange highlights - Nose: The nose of this Dictador 20-Year-Old masterfully blends aromas of roasted coffee with pastry-like notes. The aromas, which develop delicately, then give way to scents of almonds and nuts. The generous bouquet of tropical fruits (guava and lychee), intertwined with spices (ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon), harmoniously rounds out the profile. - Palate: This rum has a lively attack, largely dominated by flavors of roasted coffee. Vanilla and acacia honey gently envelop this full-bodied profile. Herbal and woody flavors lead the dance with ease, crowned by the freshness of orange, pear, and apricot-peach notes. An intoxicating floral bouquet of roses and peonies rounds out this tasting experience. - Finish: The richness of its floral aromas lingers in a magnificent, long finish. Citrus zest, spices (ginger), and candied fruits extend the absolute charm of these flavors for our greatest pleasure.
