This rum has some very unusal qualities - sio much so that I reckon a lot of regular rum drinkers could easily pick this out in a blind taste test - perhaps even in a smell test.

On the nose - oak, tobacco, vague hint of roasted fruit
On the tongue - coffee and bitter walnut, a little dark chocolate, leather, oak and tobacco, dried fruit in the background and a little molasses.
After-taste - quite harsh on the tongue with a strong burn. Plenty going on but I did not enjoy the after-taste as much as the smell or the taste and so for me it loses marks there.

For those who've not tried it, it's perhaps a little like La Hechicera, but not smooth as that and stronger in the aftertaste. Also it doesn't quite have the sweet background taste of that rum.
It's expensive and I'd honestly prefer quite a few other rums at half the price.

Približne to, čo som očakával. Chuť karamelu, vanilky a čokolády.

Some semi-dry, very little sweetness almost disappear & after that a complex and not my style taste like cognac style (maybe?) with medium (but not much) burn, also i can taste the age of this rum not fake as some cheap soleras. If you let it in glass for 10 minutes is better and you taste also the spiciness and coffee. Insolent must be better but not great even and for this price....

I’m not a fan. I can admire the overall structure and I can see why this rum is so well regarded. But for me it’s overriding butterscotch and toffee. On the nose and palate and forever in length. I do get other things going on but I don’t have a sweet tooth. I have great friends who love toffee. It’s simply not for me. Foursquare is rather more in my line.

Not sweet what's good. Coffee taste. But flat taste in mouth. It doesn't offend but also it is not the best rum. Still very good.

Rich brown color and a sweet aroma of coffee and caramel. The first sip is very enjoyable, with a bit of sweetness with coffee and toffee that leads to a long finish with hints of anise and dark chocolate that brings you back for more.

Had this side by side with the insolent. I prefer rums with a bit of molasses or fruit flavors. So I rated the insolent better. Having said that, this is an incredible rum... Cheers !!!

Podľa môjho názoru je toto ukážkový Kolumbijský rum od balenia až po dochuť. Na rozdiel od kolegu Insolent je Perpetual vyrábaný z melasy. (Insolent sa vyrába z vylisovanej šťavy.) Pekná, pevná rozkladacia krabica, strieborná fľaša a v nej kvalitný solera sistem rum. Jantárovo zlatistá farba. Chvíľku po naliatí sa pekne otvorí a zacítite stopy vanilky, čokolády, medových plástov a taktiež dubový sud. Oceňujem chuť rumu, nakoľko je presne tak sladký ako mám rád. Ani veľa, ani málo. Je skôr menej sladký, čo v tomto prípade nie je na škodu lebo to umožňuje rumu dokonale prejaviť svoju vyváženosť aj bez cukru. Je veľmi jemný, s náznakmi chuti kávy a čokolády. Záver je dlhý a jemný s tónmi dubového sudu. Rumy Dictador sú pre mňa výborné, lebo majstri nepoužívajú až tak veľa cukru na dosladenie ako niektorí iní výrobcovia. Autentický rum, môžem len odporučiť na pomalé popíjanie počas dlhých zimných večerov...=)

Mineral nose with walnut and light caramel aromas. Very similar in the mouth which makes out for a great original sipper. Notes of coffee, walnut, slightly burnt caramel and even some dry fruits on the finish. Maybe not worth the price compared to whats availble on the market but an interesting sip.
