Dictador 2 Masters Royal Tokaji 1982
Extraordinary masters create an amazing and timeless masterpiece. What happens when two masters of their craft create a masterpiece together? - The result is a spirit that blurs the boundaries between categories and is unrivaled. Every masterpiece has it's master. - The concept of the '2 Masters' series by Dictador.
The Masters:
- Hernan Parra, Dictador Master Blender.
- Kováces Adorján Zoltán, Winery Director Royal Tokaji
- Nose: Chocolate sauce mixed with Pedro Ximenez sticky sherry, Christmas cake, cinnamon and ginger. This is about as rich and complex as a spirit gets. Old leather and vintage book shops add to the complexity, before black cherry finishes the journey.
- Palate: Black Forest Gateau is the fist note, with all the dark cherry, cream and chocolate notes combining brilliantly. The dark cherry moves towards cinnamon and cigar tobacco on the palate, with a light coffee note adding texture and flavour.
- Finish: Rich, with a great mouth-coating property that allows the cocoa notes and red fruits to finish this sumptuous rum.
- Matured in Zemplen Oak / Tokaji Aszu
- Time of Finishing: 31 months
- Quantity: 500 bottles
