Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#6429 04.03.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after work while playing some nice Trance by Armin van Buuren. A pretty well balanced release but the profile is pretty standard for Dictador releases. Sweet and smooth profile with some orange, caramel and well integrated ABV.
Review by Roman Lelek
The color - usual - golden brown, light.. The smell - woody, caramel..nothing special here The taste- not complicated, simple sweet, wood and short finish..the alcohol is integrated very well… like very old solera.. To be honest- it reminds me other cheap Dictadors (the taste), but this one of course has integrated alcohol…but the profile is still very simple, no full body, no layers, just the beginning and short ending..well, I would expect more from a rum with this price tag..
Review by Michal S
Nose - uncomplicated, wood, nuts, chocolate, caramel. Taste - weak, nutty-caramel water. After smelling it, I thought it could be OK, but in taste there's nothing extra compared to regular supermarket stuff. Not recommended.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Bottle in CZ community advent calendar 2025. Smell like Skeldon 78 without alcohol. Taste like Skeldon 78 on first taste - molases and then..then nothing. Just molases integrated with rounded distilate of unkniwn profile.
