Dictador XO Insolent

I'm suspicious of this rum because so many of the brands from South America seem to be doctored with flavorings, colorants and added sugar without the slightest regard for ethical practices. This one features chocolate, coffee, spice and anise - it's positively tasty as all get up, but should the label say "flavored rum"? The company say that it's made, not from molasses but from "sugar cane honey". Same as St. Nicholas Abbey rums. However, Dictador and St. Nick's are polar opposites. This rum is not at all subtle, with flavors that will demand your attention. It's delicious, but can we see a list of ingredients? I didn't think so...

Tasted right after his little brother Perpetual, this XO Insolent is smoother. It has the same beautiful dark color and leaves long legs on your glass. It looks like less alcoholic but it is also a 40%. This Dictator XO Insolent is very smooth, easy to drink. For sweet rum lovers. Love it !

The smell that greets you is fantastic. Very enticing and makes you want to dive in. My first impression was butterscotch. A very smooth rum and easy to sip (which is my favorite way to enjoy!).

Great , powerful but expensive 180$ CAD.

I love this Rum, It's smooth and it's a criminal when you start tasting it.
It's so soft and smooth that you have any idea on a moment that your bottle is 25% empty. Good flavours

Tasted this back to back with the dictador 20yr old.

This tastes much "thinner" and much more alcohol.

Still quite sweet and a little toffee. A little chewy.

For me not as good as the 20 yr old. I think it is a fair bit more expensive.

This rum is tremendous. Unique, smooth and enjoyable to the last drop.

This is a smooth and drinkable run. Not as sweet as Zacapa or Zaya. Complex flavors including butterscotch, toffee, banana as well as some nuts and berries. My biggest issue is that i can find 10 rums that are much better for half the price

Originally tried the 12yr Dictador and was blown away so had to give this a go. Probably the best smelling rum ive tried and tastes amazing whether on its own or with a splash of coke.

This rum definitely has a lot of good things going for it but ultimately it fails to be a fantastic rum. I actually prefer the 20 year old Dictador.
