406 Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-Year Ratings

I got a bottle of this at Dorignacs in New Orleans, LA on a major rum buying spree (they have a lot of rums I never saw locally). The aroma in the bottle is wonderful...definitely caramel overtones that unfortunately do not transfer over as well in regards to flavor. Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent rum just not worth the asking amount for the solera aged rum. I think about $10-$15 less would be better. However with that said the rum has more oak flavor than one would expect from a 20 year rum...even a solera system rum but it's not harsh either. It has a mild sweetness and a warmth in the back of the throat...no burn. It is a complex rum and it is SO close to a 9 but I just couldn't put it in that category. Maybe it will grow on me. On a more lighthearted note, I do like the design of the bottle...I could see Captain Jack Sparrow grabbing this bottle. Definitely pirate-esque.

The main impression is as if you are drinking liquid fire, which dissolves in your chest. Perfect harmony of pepper, coffee, vanilla and toasted barrel.

Very pleasant and absolutely drinkable. I like the clean finish. Yes it's a little sweet but also a little dry which is a perfect marriage. I have to watch my consumption seeing it goes down so easily! I would've given it a 9/10 but I gave it an 8 seeing it's $60 instead of $45. But, I will be keeping this in the bar for the foreseeable future. Enjoy.

Balanced flavor and aroma. Mild, slightly sweet. Very good for me.

new to the whole rating game, but i found this rum to be very fragrant and flavorful. there is a rich sweetness like caramel that can easily take you away for a moment.

Im Geruch ein wenig Karamell, Vanille und ein bisschen Nuss- Toffee.
Farbe Schönes dunkles Bernstein,
Im Geschmack am Anfang Wallnuss, dann Toffee, Karamell, Kaffee mit einer fast nicht wahrnehmbaren natürlichen Süße und Holznote, im Abgang findet man die selben Noten mit ein wenig Alkohol.
Sehr rund alles zusammen, sehr gut.

Fazit: ein ganz anderes Geschmackserlebnis als die von mir bis jetzt gekosteten Rumsorten und nicht süß !
Gefällt mir sehr gut das ganze, sehr gut !
Ein neuer Rum unter meinen Besten. Wird nachgekauft und hat einen fixen Platz in meiner Sammlung ! TOP !

The 20 year old Dictador uses the Solera method that consists of the mixing of barrels of different ages in order to obtain better development of flavour. Rum barrels from 14 to 24 years old are mixed giving an average of 20 years old.

I really enjoyed this rum. A rum purest type of rum, unadulterated pure and as expected when it comes to what I expect from a rum.
