Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-Year

If barely started my adventure with rum, but Dictator is already my favorite one. Typical sipper (so no cola) with a deep color, taste and aromas. Quite smooth with a beautiful finish.I just love it.

My son bought this for me for Father's Day (what a great son!). I have never had Dictador Rum before and my first taste I got a rich full flavour of carmel, vanilla and roasted coffee.

All Dictador regular range is very good
I have tasted claro 100, orange 100, 12 y, 20 y, xo insolent and xo perpetual
Amazing taste - rich, balanced, smooth. Likely one of the best on nose. Seductive dried fruits, coffee, vanilla and still not too sweet with cool oak notes.

If you hate things that are amazing then you can stop reading here...

Still with me? Okay, this rum is spectacular. It's packed with flavor and has a long smooth finish. I'll admit their ad campaigns look like terrible 90's perfume ads but the rum itself is great!
Color: Amber
Nose: Honey, coffee, and a little bit of oak and spices
Taste: Carmel, honey, maple, and fruit. This thing is practically dessert

Był kiedyś taki klej, który nazywał się guma arabska. To moje pierwsze skojarzenie, jeśli chodzi o jego zapach zaraz po otworzeniu butelki. Jest łagodniejszy i słodszy niż 12. To przyzwoity trunek.

Rum z medu z cukrové třtiny zrál metodou solera v dubových sudech po bourbonu a také v sudech po portském.

Aroma: Káva, tabákový kouř, mléčná čokoláda, stopa sušeného ovoce a snad i vanilky.
Chuť: Jemná, opět káva s hořkou čokoládou.
Dozvuk: Stopa kávy, opálené dřevo, sušené ovoce (rozinky).
Sladkost: 0/3
Celá lahev
Jeden z rumů, se kterým jsem začínal a i po letech je to stále nenáročné, pohodové pití.

Great stuff. Coffe and toasted oak notes followed by gentle vanilla and caramel.

I certify this review is my own opinion and that I do not have a professional affiliation with Diplomatico.

I've now had a couple of bottles of this, one I bought and one was a gift. I find this rum has way too much molasses going on in the finish, giving an almost oversweet palate. So many rums I'd rather drink than this. It's seems to be popping up a lot here locally in Aus.

Nice dark color. The smell is so enticing, it's one that has stuck in my memory.
Maple syrup and butterscotch mostly, it's very pleasant.
Intense flavour of sweetness with above and vanilla. Long after taste with a lot going on. It is everything I like about rum: good looking bottle, exciting smell, delicious flavours, and not so hard on the wallet. New addition to the stock lineup.
At $65CAD on sale, this is a steal.
