Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the fifth one of the six. I'm a bit disappointed with this rum because it's supposed to be a 39 year old rum. The fact that they have added artificial coffee to it also disappoints me. The taste is thin at most and sweet. The price tag on this bottle is far too high.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
