An excellent example of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety, ideal for lovers of the variety. Its rich aroma features notes of blackberry and cherry, along with vanilla and cedar. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, it is a balanced wine, with a silky texture and tannins that are present, but polished and round. It pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, especially barbecue. Enjoy now or save to enjoy in years to come.

Dictador 2 Masters Glenfarclas 1972
A 45-year-old Dictador Rum from a 1972 single vintage cask finished in fine port casks and then shipped to Glenfarclas in Scotland, where it further spent 7 months in a Glenfarclas 2002 third-fill Jerez Sherry cask. Bottled at 45% ABV.
- Nose: Undoubtedly a great old rum married into a superb whisky with very clear malted barley overtones, sherry notes and dried apricots over the sweeter smell of maple syrup, melted brown sugar and tropical fruits.
- Palate: The whisky somewhat fades into the background and gets overtaken by immensely rounded, rich liquid dried fruits with medjool dates, sun-dried raisins and acacia honey character, although without the sugar content, just pure aged rum. It kicks back in with incredible balance between the alcohol, fruit and acidity, going into a fabulous finish that just lingers for minutes once the “burn” is away and has notes of toffee, sweet tobacco and toasted coconut.
- Colour : A dark golden bronze with flashes of mahogany in the center out to a highly viscous light brass color in the glass.
- Matured in 3rd fill Olorosso Sherry Cask
- Time of Finishing : 7 months
- Quantity : 232 bottles
