Dictador XO Perpetual

Spicy, wood barrel and coffee touch in the aroma; sweeter start, chocolate and touch of coffee; chocolate and caramel in woody tail

Dictador rumy vobec nemusim ani 12 ani 20, tento bol celkom fajn aj ked by som si celu flasu asi nekupil.

I tend to like a sweet rum so this suits my palate, nuts vanilla even a bit of honey. Lovely

Nose - Dry, very dominant aromas of walnuts. Hints of vanilla.

Taste - Little bit sweet but overall still dry. This is how i like it. At start I experienced coffee followed by walnuts supported by anise and maybe some herbs behind. Each flavour is presented equaly. Very long finish leaving walnut taste in mouth. Super silk smooth, no alcohol smell or burn. Reminds me of vanilla crescents made for christmass.

Imagine some honey, bananas, coffee, toffee and dark chocolate lying on a wooden table.
Now pour gasoline on it, burn it down to smithereens and bottle the fumes.
Congratulations, you have just created Dictador XO Perpetual for fraction of a price. Thank me later.
Giving it a slightly higher rating since whisky lovers may appreciate such taste.

Smooth coffee and caramel sences.
Nice bottle with a glass stop

Dictador is the one of our favorite rums. This version is very complex, dense, thick, tart, so that it knits my tongue receptors. We can feel honey, tobacco, leather with a recognizable burnt barrel and dried fruits at the core. The taste gradually opens up, shimmering with different notes, and unlooking at the honey, I would call it dry. Tobacco, leather, cask dominate and the aging is very noticeable.

Can’t escape the comparison with the Insolent, and for me the Perpetual lacks the uniqueness of the Insolent. And with that, it is just an ok rum for me, and doesn’t justify the price point. There a simply many betrer rums available for less money.

A Colombian masterpiece! Woody, chocolatey, caramelly, a bit of coffee and tobacco, a real treat.

Mennyei finom rum, mesés lecsengéssel, ki kell próbálni.
