Dictador Solera Ultra Premium Reserve 12-Year

I bought it, drunk it and liked it. It was ok but I am not planing to buy it again :)

Первый нос - оладьи с ягодным вареньем, далее грилированные фрукты - абрикос, манго; средней сладости, с присутствием пряного дуба, калины, чуть терпкий, лёгкий микcтурный привкус. 7/10

Goute le biscuit feuille d’erable. Pas mauvais du tout mais pas pour l’usage général.

i got high hopes for this rum, expecting big pallet of flavors, but at start come almost nothing than taste of alcohol, disappointment for me

This rum compared to others in the same price range has a too strong caramelised coffee taste, also in after taste,

There are some additives in it I think. But not more sugar. A good first choice, when you are stepping out of the realm of fake sweetened rums.

Ok, this was one of my first bottles... I also love Colombia, so this Ron is somewhat special to me.
First of all, forget about the 12 years, this is a Solera Ron, so maybe (just maybe) a tiny little fraction of the liquid is somewhat 12 "periods" of ageing long. As most other Dictador types of Ron the notes of coffee are quite prevalent, chocolate beans, buts, molasses... lots of molasses, and, added sugar... I wouldn't be surprised if I found some coffee grains here and there in the top barrels of their stockpile, but that's just my speculation.
I like it because as opposed to other Rones in the category, this one isn't shy of alcohol and strength, it is not persistent (not at all, too sugary to last long) but at least for some moments once you sip it gives you the idea that "yes it means something".

My favourite rum, my precious, for a long time, it has this special smell and taste, that i can sense in the middle of the night. Havent found better.

Nice for those who want a strong rum. Coffe taste and nuts. Big kick of alcohol. Dark color.

smell is like a cheap rum, similar to any major rum brand such as Bacardi. Taste is much better, it's middle of the road, not great but not horrible. Rich and buttery taste. Not much alcohol burn on the aftertaste. Pretty smooth. 80+
