Dictador XO Insolent

Farven er halvbleg sammenlignet med nogle af de glas jeg har fået på det seneste! Det er en meget speciel rom! Duftindtrykket stemmer overhovedet ikke overens med den smagsoplevelse jeg fik i første ombæring.
I næsen dominerer karamel og svage noter af lakrids. Men smagen er ikke nær så sød som jeg så ville tro, den er faktisk halvtør. Jeg finder jeg vanilie, honning og brændte kaffebønner? Eftersmagen er spændende og relativ lang, uden dog at udfolde sig yderligere (her mærker man i særdeleshed tørheden). Rommen er i fin balance, det jeg i de første par sip tog for værende en anelse sprittet er helt forsvundet nu hvor temperaturen i glasset er røget lidt op. Et rigtig fint glas, om jeg ender med at købe en flaske ved jeg ikke. Men er glad for at have smagt denne!

Coffee beans, licorice, chocolate, caramel, vanilla smoky...... Total mouthfuck, best enjoyed with a cigar.... Thinking Montecristo or Cohiba robusto

...un peu cher...
sinon, le coté "café" me plait beaucoup, et il apparait comme un rhum tres bien conçu et équilibré

This is the best description. It's just nice. It's smooth. I truly enjoy it. I don't know if it justifies the difference in price between the 20 but it is a great rum. I enjoyed this with a Cuban H. Upmann

I like the 20 year dictador a bit more but this one is also an excellent one. Smooth and balanced. Very easy to swallow. Although it has no added sugar, it's pleasantly sweet.

Fantastic rum. No question. Pricey but very smooth and tons of butterscotch, pralines and cream flavours, which I personally don't like. But there is no denying the quality here. Best tastes straight. I would personally like to see this $30 cheaper; but it is something I can easily recommend. At this price I probably wouldn't restock my bar with it, but mostly because I prefer different tastes, others will love it as it really is a quality rum.

Printre cele mai bune romuri. Arome de cafea si tabac foarte fine. Scurt, e fabulooos!

So to be fair I have a bias towards caramel-esque rums rather than rums that have more of a whiskey profile. I truly love the Dictator 20 year offering but this is something special.

From the first whiff you pick up the toffee, butterscotch and vanilla. The first sip doesn't disappoint. No burn whatsoever. Pure flavor. It isn't super sweet like liquid candy but rather very smooth with the all the aromas coming through on the palette.

If you don't like caramel or toffee, save your money and go for something different. However, if you gravitate towards the sweeter side Insolent XO will not disappoint.

better then the Perpetual but similar flavors and undertones

Firme, balanceado y elegante, tiene notas intrigantes de intensidad que sorprenden y deleitan. Miel dulce y especias con carácter se envuelven en un cálido toque ahumado. Cítricos, frutas tropicales maduras y caramelo entre notas de tabaco y pasas. El largo, suave y relajante final es complejo y fascinante - un sinnúmero de influencias que terminan con notas sutiles de turba.
