A 37 year-old Dictador Rum from a 1980 single vintage cask finished in sherry casks then shipped to Despagne, Entre-deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France. The rum spent 6 months in this barrel, originally filled up with Château Mont Pérat Bordeaux red wine, one of the Despagne flagships from the family. Matured in: Francis cooper, Selmer barrel, light heat, made from a mix of oak wood from North East French forests, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Nose        : The dark ripe fruit from Château Mont Pérat Bordeaux red wine comes through as an overlay of brambleberries, dried cherries and huckleberry sauce over soft sherry- infused maple syrup and Madagascar vanilla beans. Truly complex, indeed. Palate      : An overwhelming marriage of dark fruits and sweet rum, giving it layer upon layer of rich textured mouthfeel with tons of dried fruits and wine influences. The finish is magnificent and has touches of a French summer countryside fruit basket with rich sherry-infused oak character. Colour     : Deep and nearly inky-bronze coloured rum with ultra-high viscosity and flashes of golden bronze at the edges Matured in Selmer barrel, light heat Time of Finishing: 6 months

Dictador XO Insolent Rum is made from first press sugar cane juice that is fermented for 60 hours and is 100% pot distilled. It is aged in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels, ex-sherry butts and charred port casks to give the rum those sweet and smoky flavours from the oak. By carefully hand selecting barrels from each year’s vintage, as well as using our secret solera system, the master blender marries together these unique liquids to create the beautiful blend that is XO Insolent. A deep, mahogany shine that creates an unforgettable colour in the glass. A strong vanilla and honey nose with hints of white chocolate and parfait caramel. Extremely smooth mouthfeel with fudge, intense vanilla and Colombian coffee on the palate. A long finish that is delicately balanced with light oak for a sweet-yet-strong experience.
