Dictador Solera Ultra Premium Reserve 12-Year

Chuť je výrazne cítiť po dubových sudoch od whisky, jemne cítiť kávu a pri väčšej fantázii trochu vanilky. Inak celkom ostrý, suchý, bez rušivých tónov. Bez bolesti hlavy aj pri dlhšom pití. Za tie peniaze podľa mňa stojí iba dizajn fľaše, ktorý má dictador nadčasový.

Good but not great, pure 7/10 for this bottle, little bit higher price but as a gift good choice.

I decided to try the Dictador 12 around the same time I first tried the Diplomatico Reserva. I wish I'd tried them in a different order, as I might have liked this rum better if I'd tried it first. However, it definitely suffers by comparison. The Dictador is not as smooth or as sweet. The nose is much darker - coffee and bark. I like coffee, but I didn't enjoy this rum as much as I'd hoped. It has almost a rubber, somewhat bitter or burnt undertone that I don't like. I haven't bought this one again. I am still interested to try the 20 year to see if it smooths out and losing some of that bitterness with additional aging.

Way too sweet to enjoy, pure sugar and honey with little else to offer.

Maybe my problem was trying the 20yr old first. That was definitely a premium rum. So, I figured let's see how the 12yr old stands up. Actually I think it's a good bang for the buck at $29 vs $59 for the 20yr old. I found that this one needs to breath a bit then all those flavors come out where as the 20yr old needs no pampering. It's definitely worth the money and very pleasing especially if you haven't tried the 20yr old. My bad going on top first! By the way, I found the same situation with ElDorado 15 vs 12.

Rum of predominant walnut taste, but also coffee, oak … asks for a cigar …

I suspect that this rum should be in the spiced rum category… or rum liqueur. It is fairly sweet but still has a bit of harshness. It seems to have more caramel tastes than one would expect… I wonder how it was made…

Recenzie tohto kolumbijského rumu točia takmer výlučne o káve, tak sa poďme na to pozrieť zblízka. Fľaška šmrncovná, z tmavého skla a s úzkym hrdlom, starostlivo ukrýva nápoj vnútri. Po otvorení malého pravého korku veru ucítim espresso, ale hlavne VLAŠSKÝ ORECH. Bez debaty. A chuť to len potvrdzuje. Veľmi jemná, rozvíjať sa začne až po prehltnutí. Takto špecifickú orechovú vôňu som zatiaľ inde neidentifikoval. Rum je stredne nasladlý, tóny sú dosť úzke a jednoznačné, pochybujem, že časom odhalím okrem tých orechov viac ako stopy kávy a čokolády. Príjemné je postupné rozplývanie chute v ústach v trvaní desiatok sekúnd. Pôvodne som dal vyšší rating, neskôr som však už začal cítiť určitú umelosť, ktorá začne vadiť. Tak trochu sklamanie, aj vzhľadom k vyššej cene teda 6.

I’m so glad I didn’t purchase a whole bottle of this. Taste like artificial coffee liqueur, thin and watery, and alcoholic tasting, not smooth.

Just don’t get it I like pure rums and I always think these are maple syrup. Not sure what’s going on in the blend got a good following but just can’t get into it.
