The Dictador 2003 Parrafo I Borbon 19yo is an exceptional single cask, vintage rum from Colombia, distilled in 2003 under the meticulous supervision of Master Blender Hernan Parra. Carefully aged for 19 years in American oak, Port wine, and Sherry casks, this limited edition rum was released as a cask strength offering in 2022. As part of the acclaimed Paragraph series, which is themed around literature, it stands out as a unique and sophisticated addition to any collection. This rum boasts a complex and layered flavor profile, starting with initial fruity notes of strawberry jam, orange peels, and figs, balanced by undertones of lemon peels, toffee, and sandalwood. The palate is full-bodied and rich, showcasing a medley of spices, cocktail cherries, honey, and oak. The finish is long-lasting, warming, and woody with a hint of chili. Ideal for both connoisseurs and collectors, the Dictador 2003 Parrafo I Borbon 19yo is a rare gem, limited to just 290 bottles. Its aging process has bestowed it with a remarkable dark color and a rich, inviting aroma. Due to its high alcohol content of 50%, it is recommended to enjoy it with a little water to fully appreciate its intricate flavors. While Caribbean rums may dominate the market, the Dictador 2003 Parrafo I Borbon 19yo exemplifies the high-quality rums emerging from South and Central America, particularly Colombia. This hidden gem, with its immense potential and distinct character, is a must-try for anyone looking to explore beyond traditional rum offerings.
