Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the second one of the six. This is the second time I have this rum in a tasting and this time it got a few more points. This rum is made from sugarcane and honey molasses, which is pretty rare. In this rum you can really smell and taste the honey. This is a must try if you like Zacapa rum because they're pretty similar. Price to quality is very good. This rum won gold at the 2010 International Rum Expert Panel.

Dictador: eine unehrliche Rummarke? In einem Interview mit Dictadors Masterblender (http://consulhonorariostuttgart.de/?q=de/destileria_colombiana) wird vieles erklärt. Fakt ist, dass Dictador noch nie das Solerasystem verwendet hat und die leichten Alkohole für ihre Rums teilweise zukauft. Auch stimmt eventuell der Alkoholgehalt nicht, wodurch eine geringe Zugabe von Zucker verschleiert wird. Das Marketing der Marke ist sehr gut, auch wenn ich Dictador noch nie im Supermarkt gesehen habe. Insgesamt nicht der beste Eindruck. Dieser Rum kommt mit viel Röstaromen aus Kaffee und Schokolade daher, wobei eine Alkoholnote wahrnehmbar ist. Der Rum ist prinzipiell gut, ihm fehlt aber die Komplexität. Ob Preis zu Qualität stimmt? Wahrscheinlich nicht.

Neuigkeiten zu Dictador: Ich glaube nach wie vor, dass die Rums gesüßt und mit Zusatzstoffen versehen werden, habe daher mal den deutschen Importeur 'Kirsch Import' angeschrieben und auf diverse Artikel im Netz aufmerksam gemacht und nun eine Antwort erhalten. Die Antwort findet ihr als angehangenes Bild.

Bäh! Sind in der Nase noch relativ angenehme süße Kaffee- und Schokoladennoten vorhanden, passiert am Gaumen so gut wie nichts. Wirkt wie gefärbtes und gesüßtes Wasser mit einem Schuss Supermarktrum aus dem untersten Regal. Ich hätte blind auf HC 3 años oder so getippt. Finger weg, wer sich nicht den Abend vermiesen will.

It’s on the sweeter side, so indicative of some dosage. A bit one dimensional given the price and clearly not a true 20 year old being Solera aged. A lot of candied sweeter notes on the nose but more muted in the mouth and a spice somewhat short finish, some alcoholic intensity. Spanish style sweeter rum but a bit more grown up than a Diplimatico ER

Laut diversen Blogs wurden hier Zucker und künstliche Aromen hinzugefügt. Der Rum rieht wirklich zu gut um wahr zu sein. Geschmacklich auch sehr angenehm. Abgang kurz. Fake rum mit Zusätzen?

Direct comparison with its 12 YO version just proved my point that they are very similar. 20YO being almost identical in taste but is just tastes milder and sweeter than 12 YO. Taking 3 points down. Walnuts, vanilla and coffee all around. Not sure whether it is worthy of an extra cost of 20 yo against 12. But this one is a bit more sweet which might be appealing to some.

Compared to the 12 this one is more rounded. Good value for money. And instead of coffee i'm getting more of a dark chocolate taste. Very nice.

Kvalitetsrom som har nästan allt, men saknar det där lilla, lilla extra. Hade mått bra av att komma som +45% vilket troligen gett den extra djup och längd. Men en riktigt bra "standardrom" som bör finnas på alla romsamlares hyllor. Speciellt om du gillar kaffe, då är denna ett måste!

Die Nase ist seltsam - einfach schon weil so unglaublich viel Kaffee. Zusammen mit den Berichten im Netz liest sich das alles etwas fishy... Im Mund ist das ganze dann unglaublich dünn für die Nase. Kaffeelikör trifft's ganz gut - enorm süß, enorm viel Kaffee. Rum? Nich so. Würde ich blind nicht als solchen identifizieren können - sondern maximal für ein Kaffeeprodukt auf Rumbasis halten. Autsch. Hier stimmt irgendwas gewaltig nicht...

Underwhelming smell of barrel, wood, vanilla and a bit of coffee. Intriguing taste of walnut skin and coffee (mocha/cappuccino). Alcohol not as well integrated as I would expect. Overall, bitter in taste. Interesting, but I have not fallen in love.
