404 Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-Year Ratings

I was very impressed by the black box and mysterious black bottle, very sexy. The color was a dark amber, darker than I would have expected. Since I knew this was partly a pot still distillation, I was looking for a floral nose, full of esters, but it was not there. I did get the earthy, slightly moldy, grassy nose that I expect from a sugarcane syrup wash. I also got some nice vanilla and a hint of banana in the nose. The initial mouth feel was soft, as I would expect from a aged rum, but it did not last long. I got a burn in the middle of my tongue, and light sugar along the sides. It was not particularly complex, and faded to bitter in the end. The addition of a splash of water helped to smooth the whole thing out. Overall, it was not bad, but I had better and expected more.

Very light molasses flavor with a small bit of burn on the back.

I was surprised by this rum, as it is different with nuts and coffee, minimum sweet but bitter. Alcohol is very very smooth and incorporated what I liked most. Elegant conclusion.

I started drinking rum instead of whiskey because of this rum, really good and well balanced between flavours and sweetness

The appearance in the glass is the standard caramel brown color, certainly not something one would expect after long aging (although 20 years + solera system = literally whatever in a practical sense).

The nose is warm, soft, sweet, inviting, fruity, some fresh dough, and a hint of a savory note resembling bacon.

The taste is strangely sweet, and since I am informed that there is no added sugar in this rum, it must be something else - fruit extract, perhaps? Notes of ripe apricots, ginger, marmelade, tamed by really meek oak presence. The mouthfeel is oily, full, almost syrupy, the finish is medium-length and pleasantly warm.

This is certainly a pleasant sipping rum, however that syrupy,fruity, sweet note does not seem quite natural.

Wonderful flavours. This rum is very smooth, warm and has a nice balanced Carmel flavour (not too sweet). This rum is perfect by itself and leaves you wanting another.

This 'was' a great bottle. I really have enjoyed the 12 year, despite its initial chemically smell and taste, just have to let it breathe for a while, better with time.This however was excellent from the bottle, a rich, not overly sweet advancement on the 12. For a little more, you are getting a seriously premium tasting rum.

Dictador bliver nok aldrig én af mine favoritter. Syntes 20 års virker noget tynd, i forhold til alder.

I absolutely love this one, and I get why it doesn't get a higher rating. It has a very strong, explicit smell and taste to it which many probably won't appreciate. That is the coffee aroma... I get it, but I'm also a big fan of coffee so this guy is a favorite of mine

Maybe there’s not that much going on here, but it’s very smooth and very easy to drink. Really enjoyed it.
