Aroma visualization from community tastings
Dictador 10 Years
One member calls this "an entry level Dictador" — smooth, not overly sweet, and heavy on coffee. Expect roasted, toasted flavors: espresso, caramel, vanilla, cocoa, a little licorice and smoke. Some tasters find the alcohol a touch loud and almost medicinal on the nose, and a few say it drinks more like caramel cream than rum. Easygoing, coffee-forward, not very complex.
The community says- Coffee and roasted notes
- Not overly sweet
- But: Alcohol a bit loud

How does Dictador 10 Years taste?
Aggregated from 90 community reviews.
Coffee-forward, caramel, easy entry sipper Liked as a coffee-and-caramel everyday sipper and a decent first step into rum, though several find it a bit hot on the nose and short on complexity.

Review by MarMOTTE
To my taste, an uninteresting, overly alcoholic, almost medicated nose. On the palate, a strong initial impression of licorice that fades and gives way to notes of roasted coffee that linger on the palate, ending on an earthy sensation. Not bad, but not fantastic either.
Review by TheJackDrop
"The usual choco caramel! In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Vanilla, Coffee, Caramel In the mouth: Caramelized, Coffee, Cocoa, Vanilla, Woody Finish: Chocolate, Caramel".
Review by Flavien Quinchon
Avoir l'impression de boire de la crème de caramel plutôt qu'un rhum. Bon pour un spiritueux mais pas un rhum
Review by adn butrulle
Harmonious overall, low notes with a rather long, peaty finish. Licorice, caramel and a strong hint of burn. It doesn't break a duck's back, but it's drinkable :)
Review by Barney
Très bon rhum pour un débutant ! Bien mieux travailler qu'un don papa ou diplomatico ! C'est le rhum parfait pour amateur qui veut passer un gap dans le monde du rhum !
Review by Werner10
A very enjoyable entry level Dictador. Smooth, not overly sweet, coffee and roasted flavors.
Review by Peter Gacek
12jährigen verkostet. Nicht sonderlich komplex. Nicht unser Geschmack.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Taste is soft and round with caramel, cocoa, honey, coffee, oak with a high complexity.
Review by Robert Houba
Alkoholová vůně, kávová chuť, mírně karamel, na konci alkoholové. Příjemné.
