Dictador 12 Year Old 70cl, 40%

Description

Dictador 12 Year Old 70cl, 40% is a Colombian rum from Dictador, presented in its distinctive black bottle with the original box shown in the supplied product image. It is produced from fermented sugar cane honey rather than standard molasses, giving the rum a naturally rich and rounded base character.

This expression is distilled using both copper alembic stills and continuous column distillation, helping create a medium-bodied rum with smoothness, depth and aromatic complexity. Specialist sources list the ageing as solera-style, with rums aged between 8 and 14 years and an average age of 12 years.

Expect a dark, sweet and polished profile with caramel, honey, roasted coffee, cocoa, vanilla, toasted oak, dry nuts and gentle spice. At 40%, it is smooth enough to enjoy neat, but also works well over ice or in premium rum cocktails such as a Rum Old Fashioned.
