Vlasak. Pecka rum
Review by Jürgen Sch.
Relatively flat but quite okay in taste
Review by Johannes G
The Dictador XO Insolent is perhaps not the Holy Grail, as which it is often presented, but it is definitely an excellent rum. On the nose, it is as one imagines a South American rum. Intense wood with a slight sweetness. The palate is very pleasant with coffee and chocolate notes. For me, one of the best classic rums. Although not as explosive as a Jamaican, not as heavy as the colleagues from Guyana, but also not as light as many rums from Barbados. A great rum that is right in the middle. A recommendation for everyone.

Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the fourth one of the six. Another great surprise beating the Perpetual by one point. This rum is almost perfectly balanced in the spice and sweetness and a pretty complex one as well. Like pure silk when it passes down your throat. Price to quality is very good on this one as well.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,8:The nose of this rum first grabs you with the thickness of a humid woody note. Then the familiar markers of the Dictador brand follow: coffee first, then nuts and caramel that form a lovely gourmet praline. A few touches of rancio, that is to say, of oxidation and nuts in the manner of a yellow wine, come and go for a much more unusual profile. Molasses and toasted wood then offer a picture of toasted bread or brioche and maple syrup. This nose is overall very dark and roasted. The opening will allow all the aromas to bind together, one continues to think of a maple syrup, but with an extra opulence. These aromas are rather dry, but we can guess a certain roundness, characterised by caramel. One imagines that the rum would go well with a dessert coffee. 8,5:On the palate, the coffee is both dark and sweet, almost tart. The caramel notes spread out on the tongue while the roasted side brings contrast and a certain astringency. The caramel is salty and gives off strong, woody, toasty flavours. The contact with the palate is soft and sweet despite these dark brown notes. 8,5:On the finish, the whole continues to melt and take the form of a thick maple syrup that flows gently.
Review by Michal S
Very sweet, with notes of caramel, coffee and chocolate. A little fake, but drinkable.
Review by Dirk E.
Pleases me personally very well. Coffee comes out well paired with a warmth and some wood.

Delikatnie słodki, delikatny, lekki posmak tiramisu
Review by Rumpalumpa
Dictador hat mir mit seiner ganz eigenenartigen Art immer gefallen. Dieser Rum ist wirklich fein. Wie bei anderen Abfüllungen auch, viele röstige und würzige Aromen die an Kaffee und irgendwie auch an Maggi erinnern. Etwas auf der süßeren Seite. Mehr Punkte kann ich ihm bei 40% nicht geben, da er dadurch einfach zu schwach ist.
Review by Werner10
One of my favorites so far from Dictador. Very smooth with lots of flavors. Coffee, chocolate, caramel, sweet. Loving it.

The taste is soft and smooth on the palate. Notes of vanilla, caramel parfait, coffee and oak result in a balanced, round play of aromas that fills the mouth for a long time. Such an absolute pleasure 🥃👍

Lepsi nez 12y. Vune sice nic moc, ale chut paradni
Review by Tim
Once again stopped by my favorite rum from the early days. I still like it very much, it is a round combination of roasty and sweet flavors that are very intense. Coffee, cream, caramel, chocolate, spices. I like it very much, since today I also know that this rum is a blend of burned out Jerez and Port barrels. Fruits you look in vain, unfortunately.
