    How does this rum taste?

    Soft coffee‑chocolate, easy Dictador sipper

    Most enjoy its soft coffee‑chocolate profile and smoothness; critics find it thin, a bit sharp and not very complex. Consensus: a solid, lightly sweet Dictador for relaxed sipping.

    Who is this rum for?

    If you like soft, coffee‑leaning Dictadors, this keeps that profile but with less sugar and a gentle 40% ABV—great as a relaxed step up from sweeter dessert rums.

    Not really suitable for

    Drinkers seeking high complexity, high‑ABV power or totally dry/agricole styles; anyone wary of brand transparency controversies around sourcing and potential sweetening.

    Aroma

    Coffee Toffee Toasted Dark chocolate

    Taste

    Coffee Vanilla Woody Sweet

    Le meilleur rhum selon moi

    Im Zuge eines Blind Tastings verkostet. In der Nase dominiert absolut ein Aroma von Walnuss. Leicht verbrannter Kaffee. Quasi kein Alkohol wahrnehmbar. Im Mund ist er zyklisch abwechselnd süß und trocken/leicht adstringend. Der süße Teil ist "typisch rummig". Der trockeneren Teil intensiv nach Walnuss und röstig. Etwas Holz. Die Nussaromen sind derart auffällig im Vergleich, dass ich hier nicht an eine natürlich Entstehung glauben kann. Überzeugt mich nicht.

    Zucker 3 g/l. Also faktisch kein Zucker.

    Dictador: a dishonest rum brand? An interview with Dictador's master blender (http://consulhonorariostuttgart.de/?q=de/destileria_colombiana) explains a lot. The fact is that Dictador has never used the solera system and buys in some of the light alcohols for its rums. The alcohol content may also not be correct, concealing a small amount of added sugar. Overall, not the best impression. Nevertheless, this rum is good. Not a trace of fruit, but a lot of roasted aromas plus nut, honey, coffee and chocolate, which I find very tasty. The rum is reasonably easy to drink, although it is a little rough and spicy on the finish. The bourbon barrel is definitely present.
