Dictador 2 Masters Leclerc Briant 1979

Limited Collection of Dictador single vintage 40 years old rum in unique bottles hand decorated by Wixáritari, a native Indian artistic tribe inhabiting the steep ravines of the Sierra Madre Occidental in the Mexican Gran Nayar.

The bottles feature our most precious liquids from the best and oldest barrels. The liquids are carefully chosen and mixed by our master blender, as he has chosen the best of the oldest vintages to give you the truest taste of our age-old DICTADOR. For classical Colombian flavours that are rich, deep and luxuriously delicious – you need simply to sip to fully understand the magic of the best.

A 37 year-old Dictador Rum from a 1980 single vintage cask finished in whisky barrels then shipped to Château d’Arche in Sauternes, Bordeaux, France, where it further spent six months in American oak barrels of 225 litres. It is a typical size for Bordeaux wines. This barrel has been filled up with Château d’Arche for the vintage 2014.

Nose        : A plethora of sweetness with vanilla crème brulée, dark caramel-coated chocolate and plenty of dried fruits including figs, dates and quince, then hints of toasted bread and orange rind.

Palate      : Quite an interesting marriage with marzipan, dried apricots and cloudberry marmalade over maple syrup, milk chocolate and crème brulée. Once the initial burn dissipates, true rum character comes through overtaking the “foreign” flavours and  it finishes nicely with a relatively balanced supple golden fruit cake with hints of toast. Fine and supple.

Color       : A firm dark bronze going out into a lighter golden hue at the rim, showing high viscosity with fine long legs in the glass.

Matured in Fine American Oak medium heat

Time of Finishing: 6 months

Our flagship Bumbu Rum is based on the original recipe created by 16th and 17th century sailors of the West Indies, who blended native Caribbean ingredients into their rum and called it “Bumbu” – truly the original craft spirit. Bumbu is distilled and bottled at a 123-year old distillery in Barbados from first class sugarcane selected from eight countries across the West Indies.

The finished blend is aged up to 15 years in once-used, grade-A bourbon barrels. These barrels have a medium dark colour, which gives Bumbu its rich colour and enhances the vanilla notes in its taste profile.
