Dictador XO Insolent

typical dictador, i find it sweet full of flavour and the bite required

Both rums come from Colombia and are bottled at 40% ABV.
Insolent: Virgin sugar cane honey was used for production and the spirit was then stored for up to 25 years in bourbon and then port wine barrels using the solera system.
Perpetual: Virgin sugar cane honey was used for the production and the spirit was then stored for up to 25 years in bourbon barrels and then sherry casks using the solera system.

Bottle: Insolent is in a silver shade, Perpetual in a gold shade. The packaging design varies slightly, so more variations are possible to find. The bottle is packaged in an opening cardboard box.
Colour: Dark Amber (both variants).

Nose: Insolent: Beautifully sweet, varied and incredibly harmonious. Honey, caramel, fruit (cherry), walnut, vanilla and oak wood. It doesn't sting at all on the nose.
Perpetual: Pleasant sweet and woody, molasses, vanilla, sherry, caramel and baked apples.

Flavour: Insolent: More intense, but not pungent. It is pleasantly sweet. As with every Dictador, walnuts dominate the taste, followed by caramel, cherries and quite a lot of wood.
Perpetual: Oddly strong, rather drier and a bit more pungent. Similar to a slightly sweeter whisky. The palate is quite woody, caramel-vanilla with dried red fruit flavours. It mellows out over time and becomes slightly sweeter.

Finish: Insolent (medium-long), Perpetual (long).

Summary: These are both rums with a classic 'dictador' taste, but they are much more refined in flavour compared to the 12 and 20 year old versions. The aroma is slightly more interesting than the taste, but these are both superior rums. I personally found the Insolent to be a better fit in terms of profile.

Overall rating: Perpetual (9/10), Insolent (8/10)

En god og behagelig rund smag. Dejlig rom uden at være imponerende.

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.

barva : tmavší jantar
vune velmi zajímava opět čokolada
chut: velmi lehka a jemně kořeněná chut lehce čokolada
zaver : za mně jemný s lehkou sladkosti

As other Dictador rums, this one is also about coffee, honey and caramel. That being said, you might as well go for 50% cheaper 12y bottle with very similar experience.

I love this rum, it has a lot in common with the 12 and 20 year old but is just better, smoother, the flavours more pronounced. It of course has the typical coffee flavour of Dictador which is very nice I find. Very very nice sipper.

Neuvěřitelně jemný rum, nádherné barvy. Opět lehounce kávová stopa v chuti.
Pro milovníky Dictadora povinnost.

Hello,

the Dictador 12 or the 18 are good heavy Rons with taste of Coffee an in german called "Maggi" the best Taste between coffee and maggi has the Insolent ....

Tento rum sa mi vyslovene trafil do chute. Vo vôni prevládajú orechy, kapučíno a vanilka. Chuť je veľmi jemná taktiež po orechoch, mede, kapučíne. Na to že nie je dosladzovaný sa mi zdá dosť sladký. Super!!!
