Dictador Best of 1978 Extremo

Dictador 10 Years Old is a molasses rum from the now famous Colombian brand. The barrels that have received this rum during its long rest are in Colombian white oak called Quercus Humbolti, we find there the typically roasted notes that have made it famous.

Its age of 10 years is a weighted age, because aging is done according to the Solera method, which consists of gradually blending young rums with older ones (perpetual reserve).

The color of her dress is coppery orange. The nose seduces with aromas of freshly roasted coffee smoothly blended with vanilla. The mouth shows a beautiful sweetness and is dominated by coffee notes, without bitterness, faithful to the sensations perceived on the nose. Vanilla delicately finds its place throughout the tasting.

The finish has a good length still strongly marked by mocha. This unique rum reveals an interesting aromatic richness dominated by coffee notes.

Dictador XO Perpetual Rum is made from the fermentation of unique virgin sugar cane honey, distilled in an antique alembic copper still, then aged in the highest quality pre-used oak barrels from ex-bourbon. Finally, we use our family’s traditional method which our master blender conceives with all his skills and senses. The result is the most exquisite blend using only the finest barrels from each vintage year, approved for bottling under the highest quality control.

Deep and noble mahogany brown colour, incredibly dark and yet golden colours, superb shine and richness in the glass. Hypnotic aroma, with intricate roasted honey, Colombian coffee, royal toffee, dark chocolate, mature oak and parfait roundness. The mouth feel is extremely smooth with fudge, flavours of parfait sweet Colombian coffee, dark chocolate. The finish is long, complex, with light oak flavours coming into play, giving the sensation of extreme quality and balance between strength and softness.
