There is sooo much wrong with this rum omg! This is one of the worst rums I've ever tasted! Completely different than the older brother of 20 years. Not even comparable!

Kein süsser rum, etwas scharf, kein bleibender eindruck und auch kein besonderer oder gar langer abgang - kurz um (wie schon im titel geschrieben): nuchtssagend. Werde trotz allem den grossen bruder versuchen - hoffe der kann dann mehr.
I like smooth and sweet rums and Dictador is neither of them. For me it tastes too smoky, sharp and has also a bitter taste.
I think It is quality rum but not mean for me.
Still artificial coffee

Someone offered me to taste the 12y, to turn me around about my opinion on Dictador rums. It is less bad than 20y which is less bad than XO Insolent, but the artificial coffee flavoring or whatever additive they use kills this product.
Such a long way to the XO brands

Well over 700 aged rums tasted during the past 15 years and I had very high expectations on the Dictador rum family. The Dictador 12 year was a big disappointment to me. Flavor profile is very cluttered, smell is off putting and a very strong afterburn leads me to believe that the 12 and 20 year old Dictadors have a very long way to reach the maturity of the XO brands.
Chouette packaging, mais...

D'un ambré foncé avec des reflets roux, ce rhum présente au nez des arômes de cacao et de vanille (légère) qui virent finalement vers l'amer. La bouche rappelle ce goût amer et amène de légères pointes de café.
Something not quite right.

Nose: Eh? Should this smell like the rubbery stuff the bottle is coated in – probably not, but it does. Weird. When the smell of latex catsuit (don’t ask) goes away there is some coffee in there, think roasted beans rather than brewed. Some smoky tobacco and prunes, quite earthy. Caramel and some vanilla too. Smells “manufactured”.
Palate: Let’s hope this is better. Argh! That rubber again, where does that come from?! Well, mouth-feel is pretty good at least – quite oily. Ah, better now; dry actually, I was expecting a sweeter rum. Smoky again, earthy leaves and raisins. Not really much oak. Honey on burnt toast and then some of that coffee (brewed and black this time) as it moves to the finish.
Finish: Short to medium and no rubber, phew. Ends sweeter than the palate and has some bitter oak as it tails off, smoky again.
Thoughts? Minus to rubber and coffee this would be a very ubiquitous rum, and I think I’d prefer that to what they've done to it to give it “character”
Horrendous

Quite possible single worse rum sampled. Spit it out in front of company rep. Such a disgusting flavor and extremely harsh. Begs the question "are you truly aged or chemically aged?"
