"Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the first one of the six. Despite this one being a young rum from the destillery it still manages to be very complex with a very nice nose and palate. The vanilla is perfectly matched with the rest and the finish is long and has a bit of smoke to it. All in all a very good price tag for this bottle. This bottle won gold at the International Rum Expert Panel 2010."

"Mhh I like this because it's very unique. It has a spicy nose and pallet that most people seem to identify as coffee, but for me its Maggi, which is a food spice concentrate. Sounds weird but it's great with a nice natural honey-like sweetness."

"Buuh very unspectacular boring Rum. No fruits found there, only nuts, roasted aromas, wood, sweet caramles and a bit licorice. The alcohol is very present for the 40% only"

"Very sweet for the stated sugar content of less than 1g. Bin so far always assumed that it is a sweetened rum. Beautiful aroma and a good PLV."
