Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-Year

Treba pochváliť vizuálnu stránku celého balenia rumu. Originálna krabica z tvrdého kartónu, moderná fľaša je síce stále tá istá, ale ako celok pôsobí veľmi pekne. Rum má tmavšiu, svetlohnedú farbu. Je to zmes rôzne starých rumov v systéme solera s priemerným vekom 20 rokov, zrejúca v dubových sudoch. V nose cítiť silnú dubovú arómu v sprievode s karamelom, sladkou vanilkou, škoricou. Vôňa sa v pohári postupne uvoľňuje, treba mu dopriať chvíľku postáť. Veľmi pekná, komplexná a vyvážená aróma. Rum je jemne sladký, v stupnici od 1-10 by som dal 6. Na jazyku cítiť karamel, hrozienka, kakao...v pozadí vystupuje dubová aróma. Celkovo je veľmi hladký, guľatý so stredne krátkou dochuťou. Veľmi príjemné pitie. Otvorene musím priznať, že som čakal od tohto rumu menej, nakoľko jeho mladší 12-ročný brat je podľa môjho názoru bieda.

I think this is currently a better exponent of the Solera method than the Ron Zacapa. I know, blasphemous! This doesn't feel that it has been adulterated with added sugar post distillation. Despite being quite old this isn't heavy on oak flavours, caramel and vanilla are more prominent. As is the case with a lot of solera and spanish style rums this is a lot lighter than the english style. But that doesn't mean it lacks complexity, in fact one of the great things about this is that it's extremely smooth and complex and there's enough to keep you interested each time you try it.

I tried this one couple of days ago and next day went to the same bar to have another two glasses... it is really great, one of the best I have had so far... very complex, sweeter side of spectrum yet very balanced, the smell is very gentle, disappears quickly but it is soooo nice I could inhale it for hours... the taste has some coffee and dark chocolate in it, the aftertaste is very mild and nice, it is a must to try this one! I would love a recommendation for a similar ones in its price range

Klart bedre en lillebror 12års. Mere komplet og bedre balance. Dog mangler den lidt mere power.

In tegenstelling met de 10 years is de 20 years Rum prijs/kwaliteit wel in orde.
Caramel, Fudge, kleine hint van banaan en Sugar cane.
daarbij nog een zéér mooie cadeau verpakking, is mooi meegenomen.
mooi product.

A bartender recommended this on a trip to Colombia. The night was a blurr, but I remember being wowed by this at at $3 an oz. It didnt need to breath at all with a very mild heat and a kick of sweet almost like candy. Complex flavors weren't dancing in my mouth, but it was enjoyable and easy to drink for a beginner who only ever mixed his rums in coke before having this

Wonderful Smell and touch of chocolate
I like to drink it when is cold
Lets try it

The wash over the tongue lacks any distinguishing flavour, yet the secondary and lingering tastes unquestionably raise the standard of this rum. Rich in vanilla and caramel flavours lasting significantly after a sip. Definitely a unique sipper in my books.

Nice taste, not to sharp not to sugary, a nice mix

Dégusté un peu trop chaud dans un bar...
Le nez est sympa mais il a un peu trop l alcool qui ressort. Néanmoins il passe bien :D
