Review by BTHHo 🥃
Intense, dark amber-golden color and bold, rich aroma of caramel, vanilla, honey, freshly roasted coffee and oak. Soft, round, strong and sweet on the tongue with the characteristics of the aroma.
Review by Bennet
Holziger Rum mit cremigee angenehmer Süße
Review by Oliver
Tastes like coffee liqueur. Too sweet for my taste.
Review by Christoph
Dunkle Schokolade, aber noch intensiver Kaffee in Nase und Mund. Im Abgang kommt etwas Orangenschale dazu. Der Alkohol ist trotz der 40% im Abgang noch etwas vorhanden.
Review by WiltChamberlain
News about Dictador: I still believe that the rums are sweetened and provided with additives, so I wrote to the German importer 'Kirsch Import' and drew attention to various articles on the net and now received an answer. You can find the answer as an attached picture.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose we get hints of sweetness, bacon, mild fruit and spice. Taste reveals a little more sweet and spice with bacon and coffee undertones. Finish is medium and mildly sweet. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose mild sweetness. Taste has mild sweetness that evolves into mild coffee and a slight bitterness. Finish is very short with a slight bitterness.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Lots of coffee, lots of chocolate. A little too much of everything. Not a highlight, but not undrinkable either. If you want to have a drink in the evening without constantly wanting/needing to analyze your rum, then the Dictador is justified. Not a must-have in my collection.

Vo vôni dosť liehove, v chuti aj mierna sladkosť ale dosť stipe, napriek tomu dospelackejsie pitie
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Bäh! Sind in der Nase noch relativ angenehme süße Kaffee- und Schokoladennoten vorhanden, passiert am Gaumen so gut wie nichts. Wirkt wie gefärbtes und gesüßtes Wasser mit einem Schuss Supermarktrum aus dem untersten Regal. Ich hätte blind auf HC 3 años oder so getippt. Finger weg, wer sich nicht den Abend vermiesen will.
Review by Lucas Scrivener
Very rich, round rum of the darkest molasses. Fantastic end of night rum
Review by kudzey
At this level of watering down it lacks intensity. The overwhelming sweetness rises questions at every sip.
Review by JonasTh
Vanille. Lekkerder dan 12y
Review by Fuwi
Yuck! I got this from Zabo, must have been a cupboard find. Was just supposed to be a silly mixer on vacation at the beach - sun, limes, ice and a little rum. It has such a penetrating aroma of a well-known liquid condiment, it doesn't even work with the juice of a whole lime, let alone pure. I gave it to a Thai waiter as a gift.
Review by Juris Sumskis
Very pleasant smell of toffee, caramel. Easy to drink neat.
Review by ChristophFFM
Laut diversen Blogs wurden hier Zucker und künstliche Aromen hinzugefügt. Der Rum rieht wirklich zu gut um wahr zu sein. Geschmacklich auch sehr angenehm. Abgang kurz. Fake rum mit Zusätzen?
