Update: Tried this rum the day after, with a better result.
Less bitterness, and more of the rum taste, but still an unpleasant bitter sensation in the finish.

Update from a 3 to 4.

Interesting bottle, with a weird feel. Almost rubber like, but a funny ceramic sound.
First nose from the bottle - Port wine, sweet, prunes, vanilla, chocolate.
In the glass, beautiful amber color, lovely legs.
Nose - Caramel, vanilla, chocolate, molases.
Taste is strong at first. The notes of the rum is at first hidden by a bitter taste. Sweet in the middle, with a hint of vanilla and caramel, but again ending with a sharp bitterness.

Very weird rum. Initially expecting a lot from the bottle, nose, and color, but getting a weird, bitter tast that lasts all the way through. Its a real struggle to find the notes of the rum behind the bitter tast. Definitely not a favorite of mine. Bought it because I heard interesting things - Not always good things - about it, and I can say, this wont be going in the bar cabinet again when its empty.

The main impression is as if you are drinking liquid fire, which dissolves in your chest. Perfect harmony of pepper, coffee, vanilla and toasted barrel.

Very pleasant and absolutely drinkable. I like the clean finish. Yes it's a little sweet but also a little dry which is a perfect marriage. I have to watch my consumption seeing it goes down so easily! I would've given it a 9/10 but I gave it an 8 seeing it's $60 instead of $45. But, I will be keeping this in the bar for the foreseeable future. Enjoy.

Balanced flavor and aroma. Mild, slightly sweet. Very good for me.

new to the whole rating game, but i found this rum to be very fragrant and flavorful. there is a rich sweetness like caramel that can easily take you away for a moment.

Im Geruch ein wenig Karamell, Vanille und ein bisschen Nuss- Toffee.
Farbe Schönes dunkles Bernstein,
Im Geschmack am Anfang Wallnuss, dann Toffee, Karamell, Kaffee mit einer fast nicht wahrnehmbaren natürlichen Süße und Holznote, im Abgang findet man die selben Noten mit ein wenig Alkohol.
Sehr rund alles zusammen, sehr gut.

Fazit: ein ganz anderes Geschmackserlebnis als die von mir bis jetzt gekosteten Rumsorten und nicht süß !
Gefällt mir sehr gut das ganze, sehr gut !
Ein neuer Rum unter meinen Besten. Wird nachgekauft und hat einen fixen Platz in meiner Sammlung ! TOP !

The 20 year old Dictador uses the Solera method that consists of the mixing of barrels of different ages in order to obtain better development of flavour. Rum barrels from 14 to 24 years old are mixed giving an average of 20 years old.

I really enjoyed this rum. A rum purest type of rum, unadulterated pure and as expected when it comes to what I expect from a rum.
