    "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"

    "Un des premiers rhums que j'ai goûté au début de mon voyage. J'ai retrouvé une phot de la bouteille que j'avais à l'époque et que j'ai pu goûter de nouveau ce week-end. Trop sucré malheureusement mais j'avais apprécié à l'époque le gros marqueurs café."
