    Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the first third of the six. This was a really nice surprise. A much netter rum than I expected, a nice complex rum with a hint of vanilla in the back. Very well balanced and a delight. Sweet but not too sweet unless you like dry or Agricole style rums. Price to quality is very good.

    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.

    The taste is incredibly soft and bold with sweet Columbian coffee, dark chocolate and lots of vanilla from the oak tree. The aftertaste is almost overwhelming, is nicely long and with a really good balance - I have to admit that this rum from Dictador appeals to me 👍

    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.
