Dictador 20 Years Rum (75cl, 40%)

Dictador 20 Years Rum is a Colombian rum from Cartagena, solera-aged in pre-used oak barrels to an average age of 20 years, from components spanning 14 to 24 years. It is made from fermented virgin sugar cane honey, not molasses, and distilled partly in copper alembic and partly in steel continuous column stills. Per the producer, it shows an intense dark amber colour, with soft caramel, vanilla, smoky honey, toffee, dry seeds and roasted coffee on the nose over rounded oak. The palate is soft, round and full-flavoured, with caramel, vanilla, cocoa and roasted honey, leading to a long finish.
