Dictador 20 Years <20yr 40%

RX30 Good Flavoured Rum <100€
“Sweet coffee rum, aromatic but controversially sweet.”

Dictador 20 Years is a Colombian rum distilled from molasses using both pot and column stills, presenting a rich tapestry of aromas dominated by caramel, vanilla, and coffee, followed by toffee and chocolate undertones. The flavor profile is led by notes of coffee and caramel, with hints of wood and chocolate. While the rum enjoys praise for its indulgent aroma and sweet, smooth taste, it draws some skepticism regarding its sugars and artificial enhancements. The production method features some Solera aging, which may influence perception. Users endorse it as a quality sipping rum, though some prefer its younger variants for their balance and complexity. It’s celebrated as a great entry-level rum with a captivating scent, ideal for coffee aficionados.

“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.”

“Clearly a rum that has been artificially sweetened..... I'm not sure what the 20 means, pretty typical Latin American exaggeration with the age statements! There is vanilla, and a coffee note that I got, and lot of sweet caramel. Not much of a finish. It's not the worst rum however, and it does disappear very quickly - its easy to drink with no bite at all, almost a liquer.”

“Found again at the very back when rearranging in the cupboard. It was one of my starter rums or for mixing for CubaLibre. With my current taste, I can no longer understand how I could have liked it. Well, many have probably gone through this hard school. Will now have to use it for sweetening espresso and baking. Adjusted downwards a little.”
