8.0/10

Compared to other Dictador rums, this single cask reminds me very much of a travelers rum from Belize. Great and round flavors that make a delicious Spanish rum. The nutty, toasty and brown flavors and spices are dominant, followed by faint fruit. Round and spicy in the mouth at 50%, a little peppery, a few percent more would have been appropriate. Overall a solid rum, although the price is a little high.

7.1/10

Thanks to the somewhat increased alcohol content and the barrel influences somewhat more exciting than the standard bottlings, without really being able to inspire. The aromatic spectrum remains narrowly limited to typical notes of the Spanish style, without setting a particular highlight. Can not really inspire me, unfortunately.

7.5/10

06.02.2023 Another set of Dictador samples for home tasting. Colour Dark to very dark. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint varnish, light nutts, faint chocolate, faint honey, light coffee. Palate Light wood, medium intense, light coffee, spice, light ginger, cherry, light cinnamon, faint orange. Finish Medium long, light wood, faint roasted, dried fruit, faint caramel, spice, light cherry, light chocolate. The extra % in the ABV raises the bar a bit.

Schone Walnuss Note, mehr Fasseinfluss, aber sicher auch gesüßt.
