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

Juyondai Shichitare Nijikkan
The Juyondai Shichitare Nijjukkan Junmain Daiginjo sake is a premium sake that is considered as one of the rarer series of rice wine in Japan. It is highly sought after as the production for this sake is considerably less than those of other kinds of sake.
Utilising the special technique created by Takagi Shuzo, 75kg of rice water is used, extracting sake after pressing the bag 7 times and allowing it to drip from the bag. This time consuming method and small amount of sake collected each time make this sake very are and limited. Polished to 35%, the sake excuses a velvety texture amidst its richness.
With a ginjyo aroma of ripe melon and white peaches, the sake is beautifully layered with delicate fragrance.
Food Pairing: Sauce skewers, Hot pot, Boiled food, Seafood, and Salt-grilled dishes
