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.

Apparently this rum is aged in bourbon barrels. Slightly more mellow on the nose than the 20 Yr, but VERY similar scent profile. Almost indistinguishable. Still has lots of apples/pears, and alcohol on the nose. The taste is by far the best of the three Dictator rums I've tried. The bourbon aging seems to mellow it out, has added a lot of complexity, and is very rich. Had this side by side with ED21, and although they are completely different, this is right there in the same class. However, looking at internet prices, this bottle typically costs between $100-$120. In that case, I'd probably choose the ED21 or a couple bottles of Diplomatico Exclusiva. 92+?
