Dictador Reserva Icónica 20 Years Old is one of the signature rums of the Colombian brand Dictador, a producer recognized worldwide for its premium rum craftsmanship.
This rum is produced by pure fermentation of "virgin sugar cane honey."
It is distilled using a combination of methods – partly in copper pot stills and partly in steel continuous columns, resulting in a balanced distillate with medium body. After distillation, it is aged in used oak barrels that previously held bourbon and sherry, giving it a complex character and depth.
Then dark rum it matures in the Solera system for 14 to 24 years, during which time it gains complexity. During this process, the rum is slowly diluted with demineralized water for 28 days, which contributes to its smoothness and balance. This careful maturation process, combined with the use of oak barrels, creates a rum with a deep character and balanced flavor.
On the nose, it reveals notes of caramel, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, dried fruit and a touch of smoky wood.
The palate is full and silky – dark chocolate, honey, caramel, espresso, sweet spice, hints of raisins and toasted oak. The finish is long, slightly sweet, gently spicy, with touches of tobacco and chocolate.
Dictador 20 is best enjoyed neat or with a single drop of water. It also makes an excellent premium gift for lovers of Colombian rum.
