From the vibrant heart of Colombia emerges Dictador, a brand with a commanding presence. Founded in 1913 by Don Julio Arango y Parra in the historic city of Cartagena de Indias, Dictador has grown to be one of the most esteemed rum producers in the region. Despite acquiring international investors in 2009, the brand remains under the stewardship of Don Hernan, the nephew of the founder, ensuring its heritage and tradition are preserved. A noteworthy creation from Dictador is their 2 Masters series, which results from collaborations between Dictador and renowned distillers or even winemakers from around the globe. The "Destileria Colombiana 1976 Colombia Parra & Laudet 2 Masters" is an extraordinary example of this partnership. This 41-year-old Single Vintage Cask Rum, distilled in 1976, offers a unique tasting experience influenced by its finishing barrels, imparting a distinct wine character to the rum. Limited to only 378 bottles, this rum boasts an ABV of 44.9% and is presented in a 700ml bottle. The rum delights the senses with an exquisite aroma of raisins, red wine, berries, vanilla, and sherry. On the palate, it presents a sweet profile with notes of dried dates, raisins, berries, vanilla, and oak. The finish is equally compelling, with lingering hints of oak, fruitiness, vanilla, and dried fruit, culminating in a complex and sweet taste profile that offers a rich and full mouthfeel.
The Dictador 2 Masters series is unique due to its collaborations with renowned distillers and winemakers worldwide, resulting in rums with distinctive flavor profiles influenced by the finishing barrels.
Dictador is currently managed by Don Hernan, the nephew of the founder Don Julio Arango y Parra.
Dictador rum is produced using traditional Colombian methods, distilled from sugarcane honey, which is a concentrate made from sugarcane juice.
As an avid collector of Dictador rums, I find the 2 Masters versions particularly captivating for their unique personalities. This 1976 release is a remarkable example, with its wine-influenced character providing a sweet and fruity profile, accented by hints of barrel, wine, and sherry. It is undoubtedly an expensive indulgence, but its quality and distinctiveness make it well worth the investment.
