I'm looking to try out more new rums and was wondering about this purchase. Would it be worth it to buy the Dictador 20 years over the 12 years? Is it worth the extra money?

XeniePie: I have tried all of the top 4 easily available Dictador rums side by side. The 20 Year Solera is definitely worth the extra money over the 12 Year Solera! However, when you move up into the big money range to include XO Insolent and XO Perpetual, the differences between the 20 Year Solera and these two are so subtle that it is up to one's funding to judge if the two XO's are worth a lot more money.

I would agree. The Dictador 20years is more complex and smooth. And the price difference is not so big. So yeah... it is worth it. πŸ‘

It should all depend on how much you are ready to spend. Try seeking for an online bargain, it happens that the 20 yo is priced as low as the 12yo somewhere else.

Yes, I agree too, 20 yo the best value for money. For sure, the 12 yo is a nice rum too.

I bought today. I will open on Easter. The price difference between 12 and 20 is around 15 euros. Compare with the 12 I've tasted.

Enjoy your drink. By the way, do you recommend any good rum shops in Poland?

XeniePie: I opened Dictador 20 on Easter. I think that is more better than 12. Worth the money.

These girls say it's definitely worth it. πŸ˜… Do you know their marketing girls?

Are the girls included? If it’s so I will have to reconsider my decision about Dictator and buy this Ron.

At Easter, the girls deliver the rum in person and you get a massage while you enjoy the rum. I've heard. πŸ˜‚

I dream of mild rum that is stored in wet barrels, in warm tropics and winks at me with a smile. πŸ˜‰

If women-based campaign is what you like then I think I will now convince you to drink Bacardi with this old add.

kudzey, no Bacardi please, there is no picture that makes the taste better. It's always the old marketing trick, it doesn’t matter is it a drink or a car, that calls: sex sells!
