My first contact with Dictador left me with a nutty aftertaste. I can't shake it off and i love it.

Unfortunately the taste isn’t exactly what you expect.. & then it’s fairly sweet. Some heat
Raisins… I do like it. But it’s very pastry like.
Illat: kávé , kakaó , dohány , bőr de ezek együtt és nagyon brutál mód és valahogy ennek ellenére is minden levegőnél kicsit más jön elő belőle. Alkoholnak szinte semmi nyoma.
Íz : édeskés , olajos , kávé és csokoládé de valahogy mégis száraz kicsit de kellemesen. Alkohol szinte sehol csak pont amennyi kellemes.
Hatalmas meglepetés volt nekem és csak tisztán !

Nějak mě ničím neoslovil, jako u všech Dictadorů vůně i chuť vlašských ořechů, pokud zrál v sudech po sherry, tak je to v pořádku.

Good and with full body. Spicy. Interesting bottle. Could be cheaper.
First aged rum I've every tried, still one of my favorites. I sense fudges, oakiness and burned sugar. A bit harsh in the aftertaste.

Well I wasn't expecting to be that good. Personally I will place this similar to diplomatico but a better aftertaste. Just entered the top 3 for me (1. Diplomatico sellection de famillia, 2. Diplomatico reserva exclusiva, 3. This one!).

after a lot of sweet rums it was a pleasant surprise.i think that there is no addes sugar in it, but a recognizeable barrel taste.

My understanding of this 12 year rum is not that the oldest rum is 12 years rather this is some type of average (according to a Dictador rep) from rums between 8 and 14 years old. After all blending is said and done equals 12 years of age.
I just cracked open a 12 year old bottle after finding it in a local release with a great price and never actually seeing it in store before. This bottle came in a coaster box meaning just that... a half inch cardboard coaster. The bottle has a natural cork.
My initial thoughts here... Nosing nothing unexpected very subdued alcohol, coffee, cinnamon buns, vanilla, butterscotch, some fruit.
The tasting..
Very forward in the entire palate and back of the throat. After the initial blast which I consider to be a slight burn with slight spice near the end the flavors develop and is completely smooth by its exit. The initial entry is quite a surprise to me as is the burn for a 40% spirit. The main flavors I get are somewhat complex in their change from butterscotch, vanilla, dark chocolate, ending with a sweet caramel finish with forward distinct coffee flavor?
I find if I leave this one in the mouth too long before a swallow that the burn on the tongue is quite obvious and even so harsh that it destroys the flavors of the finish. Best swallow this one fast! Leaving it out to breath a good while helps to mellow this attribute.
The sweetness and coffee on the finish can be tasted for quite some time.
