Öffne meine alte Flasche Perpetual zum 250. Rating, ich finde das eine gute Gelegenheit.
Schöns kupferfarbenes Mahagoni im Glas.
In der Nase typisch Dictador, dieses tiefe, dunkle das einem hineinzieht und nicht mehr loslässt. Ein Fass voller Walnüsse die mit Lakritze umhüllt und mit reinstem Kakao bepudert sind, ein Lederbeutel mit karamellisierten Tabakblätter, Birnen, Pflaumen, Mirabellen...…..
Im Gaumen weich wie Watte. Zart wie Seide umschmeicheln die Aromen die Geschmacksknospen. Schoko-Drops gefüllt mit starkem Espresso, stark getoastetem Holz übergossen mit stark gebranntem Karamell, Lakritze, Kardamom, Toffee.....
Im Abgang der Immerwährend ist, Holz, Kakao, Kaffee, Leder, Gewürze, Früchte.... bleiben für immer auf der Zunge kleben.
Dictador, aussergewöhnlich, interessant und komplex. Ein deftiger Rum für Geniesser an kalten Wintertagen, nichts für Einsteiger und Süss-Rum-Lovers. 9+

Open my old bottle of Perpetual for the 250th rating, I think it's a good opportunity.
Beautiful copper-coloured mahogany in a glass.
In the nose typical Dictador, this deep, dark one pulls you in and does not let go any more. A barrel full of walnuts covered with liquorice and powdered with pure cocoa, a leather bag with caramelized tobacco leaves, pears, plums, mirabelle plums..........
Soft as cotton wool on the palate. As delicate as silk, the aromas caress the taste buds. Chocolate drops filled with strong espresso, strongly toasted wood poured over with strongly burnt caramel, liquorice, cardamom, toffee.....
In the finish the everlasting is, wood, cocoa, coffee, leather, spices, fruit.... remain stuck forever on the tongue.
Dictador, extraordinary, interesting and complex. A hearty rum for connoisseurs on cold winter days, not for beginners and sweet rum lovers. 9+

I really like the taste and smell of this rum!

Honey, coffee, toffee, oak, and even some bourbon.

But the aftertaste is harsh, just like it is with the Dictador 20 year, and this takes away from the overall goodness. I'm not sure if I'm the only one that feels the harsh aftertaste (I'm not reading about it in other people's reviews), but to me this makes it a less than exceptional rum. I prefer the Dictador XO Insolent to this, as it is sweeter and more rum like.

Шоколад, фундук и грецкие орехи. Мёд. Нотка ванили...
Один из самых любимых ромов.
С хорошей сигарой, получается фантастический дуэт!

In comparison with its sibling Insolent, Perpetual falls short. Butterscoshi but weak!

Had back to back with Insolent and this at 1st taste (neat - no ice) was watered down. I left it to air for a bit and was surprised to see that it improved. The nose is butterscotch and burnt sugar (like a sugar daddy candy pop) taste is again burnt caramel with a long lasting tasty bitterness. The insolent is better in that it has more flavor and a hazlenut thing going on

My first rum from Colubia today :-). Dictador XO with sherry cask finish. I'm really excited.
Nose : honey, oak, salted caramell, nuts, toasted notes of ... whatever. It smells strong and I don't know, if I should like that. For me the smell is not really pleasant. It dosn't invite you to take a dram.
Palate : smooth in relation to the nose, with wood in the front. Hmm ... after some seconds walnut and coffee in addition. Intersting ... my first rum without any fruits in the nose and on the palate. And where the hell is the sherry cask finish ??
Finish : medium to long. Walnut and coffee are remaining. Nothing else. Pfuuh, really disappointing.
Conclusion : this rum is not bad, but also not really good. It's a real walnut-bomb with coffee on top. Nothing else and that is not enough for me to say that this is a good rum. Taste is 6 points. But .... regarding the high price about 80 euro I subtract 1 point.
This rum is much, much, much too expensive for what it offers. I have had several better tasting rums for half the price.

Thus rum has a nice coffee flavor. It’s not to sweet but sweet enough.

Destilován z medu cukrové třtiny, fermentace vlastním kmenem kvasinek. Blend se skládá z rumů starých 25 - 35 let zrajících v dubových sudech.
Perpetual je finišován v sudech po sherry. Měl by být nedoslazovaný.

Aroma: Mokré trouchnivějící dřevo, bonbónová nasládlost, pikantní koření, slaný a spálený karamel. Úplně na pozadí lógr.
Chuť: Káva, spálený karamel, dřevo. Velmi jemná.
Dozvuk: Káva, karamel a sušené ovoce. Střední.
Sladkost: 0/3
Celá lahev
Nenáročná pohodovka průměrnějšího rázu - vůně je hezká, ale v chuti docela nudí. 12y i 20y překvapivě (nejen) cenou o dost lepší.

The first word that comes to mind is "unique"

I am into my journey and this little gem is quite unique I feel.

Very toffee and coffee flavoured, very silky and syrupy at same time.

This was the first time finding a rum like this, In all fairness I have only had 3 South American rums.

It's a nice sipping rum if this flavour is you, I'm more and of vanilla spiced type of rum guy.

However for this I could make an exception.

Nice to sip neat or in the rocks, doesn't lose too much flavour with a mixer.

Caramel, toffee, liquorice, coffee. Its strong and syrupy. Not sure how I feel about it just yet. Too strong on the butterscotch lacquer feeling. Still good, just not my preferred.
