Dictador Solera Distillery Icon Reserve 20-Year

The honey and spices really came thru. It is definitely on the sweeter end of the spectrum, which is probably why I like it so much.

I crossed my path with Dictador at some bar, the taste definitely got my attention, so I've decided to buy a bottle and don't go for a low-aged ones.

20-Year was truly a perfect choice. Aroma is insane - intense, but delicate, a bit of coffee and caramel. The body is rather strong, but with a smooth and long-lasting finish, also caramel here.

A truly great choice, I guess more for pure-rum sipping, but I imagine it would fit perfect with some drinks.

Nice bottle and good reputation. However, this rum did not meet my expectations. Quite weak nose, palate dominated by licorice/anise. I definitely expected more.

Nice color and aroma. Complex flavor and long finishing. It reminds me of Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum.

Simply premium rum. Love it. Would recommend it to all.

Truly amazing for me - deep, rich, complex and sweet. I've really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed this one really much. It is a nicely balanced rum in terms of taste, but I would recommend leaving it out to breathe a little before drinking. Once the alcohol tones down a bit, the flavour is beautifully brought up with a nice walnut aftertaste, leathery to some tastes. Given how it's not that expensive, this is one of the rums I recommend people try at least once if they're looking for sippers.

There, got the coffee part out of the way, so now I can go on to say....Yum.
Yes, if you love coffee and love rum, you will LOVE this rum. I have added it to my favorites, "buy it if I see it list" because it takes my two favorite beverages, coffee and rum, and combines it into a delightful sipping rum. There are hints of caramel on the back, but the nose and taste are both dominated by the delicious coffee background of the distiller. If you don't like coffee, perhaps try another for the price. But if you do like coffee, give it a try and see if you don't say...Yum.
Edit: OK, this is now in my top two or three. On my second bottle, and easily as good or better than the first. I like, so figured it needed a better mark!
New update: On my third bottle now and figured this needed an update. I love this rum and it is now up there with the only other 10 I have given. Nothing more to say other than....delightful!

Velmi, velmi výrazná vůně i chuť po sherry, sladké to moc není. Oproti 12 je to obrovský skok nahoru. Pro mně milé překvapení, ale na to domácí usrkávaní to pro mě není.

Good smell, color and taste. Fine rum in flavours and finish. Arround 8/10 but this higher price for this rum lowers points 7/10
