Had this bought for me awhile back, I've had better aged Rums but this was a good change on a Friday night.
Nice rum with pleasant and rich nose producing 3 main components: coffee, cane sugar and pecan nuts. Pleasant and easy-going, sweet but having surprisingly short aftertaste as for 20 yo distillate.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Sweet, thick, coffee, brown sugar, pecan nuts, caramel, vanilla, hint of cinnamon
Palate: Sweet, slightly spicy (ginger, cloves, cardamom), latte, caramel, honey notes, herbs with light bitterness, oak on the background
Finish: Short, sweet, somewhat dry, oaky, notes of dried dark fruits
Beautiful bottle. Rum not as special. It is decent. Nothing remarkable. A bit spicy and hot.
Pretty much cocoa/vanilla/caramel taste which is not bad. The after taste was pretty dry but warm, smooth.
Smell is very addictive, even mine non drinking wife grab the glass just to smell it for couple of minutes.
Tested in Air Cafe, Brno, Czech Republic
when compared to the 12 Yr, this smell is more pleasant and smells like a higher quality rum. Very smooth taste, rich and buttery like the 12 yr, but smoother. I also did a side by side of this against ED21, and this seemed a little more abrasive with more alcohol and apples/pears on the nose. ED21 seemed much more complex, pleasant, and mellow on the nose. 85+
This is my first agricole, and I'm not disappointed. I like its very smooth taste and i do smell and taste a very strong sense of coffee. For me its the main taste and smell, but I have to mention that a friend of mine who tried this rum said he didn't smelled or tasted coffee at all. So, maybe it's just me, but i think it's a very "coffeey" rum – which isn't a bad thing! :)
This rum is Good but liifle Sharp taste and caramel and some spices
Neni tak sladky jako Papa. Ma ale uzasnou vuni a vyvazenou chut - koreni, karamely, kandovane ovoce...stredne dlouhy nasladly konec.
Don't get me wrong, this rum is incredibly well made and pretty smooth. The reason I give it an 8 is because this is a very heavy dark rum that has a strong molasses flavor profile. If you like that sort of thing you will love this rum. My preference leans more toward the lighter, caramel, vanilla, fruit, or spice profiles (such as Parce 12 year) and the molasses forward flavors tend to be my least favorite. But this is incredibly well made and of very high quality.
Chocolate and coffee in flavor and aroma, caramel and vanilla in the background
Lucka 1. Riktigt bra. rund i smaken med inslag av karamell och vanilj
le nez de ce rhum s’ouvre sur une bonne rasade de café. Mais ce serait enfoncer une porte ouverte que de s’arrêter là : ce café est parfumé à la vanille et sucré avec une bonne cuillerée de mélasse. La mélasse bien noire a cette particularité d’avoir un net parfum de réglisse. Et c’est bien de réglisse qu’il s’agit ici : les choses se précisent, la cuillerée de mélasse serait en fait une poignée de Cachous ou de carrés de Zan. Ce nez est assez sec, nous avons de la noix, de la noix de pécan et de l’amande. Ces fruits à coque sont pris dans un caramel dur, on visualise maintenant sans peine une plaque de nougatine craquante.
La réglisse continue de mener la danse à l’aération, elle baigne dans une fumée de tabac et de café. Les fruits à coque caramélisés comme la noix de pécan sont toujours là, ils forment une poudre mélangée avec des épices. Dans ce registre définitivement très noir, le pain et le boisé sont toastés.
En bouche, une petite bulle sucrée de fruits jaunes éclate et se déverse en premier. Cette sucrosité compense le côté noir que l’on a aperçu au nez et qui se traduit ici logiquement par une âpreté poivrée, voire pimentée. Cela continue avec du caramel brun et salé, beaucoup de café et un boisé épicé où la coriandre apporte un peu de fraîcheur et de fantaisie. La mélasse et la réglisse complètent l’aspect sombre et profond du tableau.
Les dernières notes qui subsistent en bouche sont la noix bien sèche, les noix de pécan caramélisées en pagaille et le sirop d’érable.
Not too shabby but average. Vanilla on the nose with caramel and toffee on the palate. Hints of coffee make this a nice smooth and silky rounded rum.
All my tastings & opinions are on tasting done neat. No ice , no mixes !!
I purchased this bottle a few months ago and it took my time to enjoy it for as long as possible.
Notes of buttery Caramel, but not the sweetness or taste, Very smooth, with a bit of burn / after wards. Has other aromas, i don't recall as it was a while ago. A great bottle to gift and impress someone. However for the price, I find other rums that match or exceed for daily and occasional consumption
Duft af karamel og ristede nødder som virkelig er indbydende og varsler noget godt. Desværre er smagen ikke lige så god som duften. Stadig karamel og lidt kakao, man får fornemmelsen af noget ristet, men det bliver lidt fladt og en smule sprittet. forventningerne fra duften indfries ikke. Men en ok fornuftig rom. En rigtig karakter er 7,5. (1. December 2018)
Smokey aroma filled with wholenuts.
Taste also full wholenuts, vanilla, honey, roasted oak.
Flavours are too intense not so mild as 12yrs edition.
Very good rum. Warm, smooth, with chocolate and coffee tones. Problem is that I couldn't find difference between this and Dictador 12. If you are looking to save some money, choose 12y instead.
Yes, this was nice. 20 year old spirits can be strong but this wasn’t. Nice and smooth with a strong coffee smell but not overpowering taste.
Kopparröd färgton, arom av mocka. Smaken finns lite mocka och kanske choklad? Helt okej men inte superb.
I had heard many things about this South American rum before trying it, with a lot of people saying, that whether you like it or not, then it is a rum, that you should try for yourself at least once.
Nose: Roasted coffee, caramel and a hint of oak and figs
Taste: Soft and round taste of cocoa, caramel and hints of toasted honey. Aftertaste is very short.
Overall: There is no doubt, that this a rum with a special and distinct style. You can easily taste, when you are having a Dictador rum. With that being said it has some good special notes, but the lack of aftertaste and the 40 abv hurts the overall rating.
Kryddig och vanilj. Lite kaffe och lakrits. En bra Rom.
