The finish is a harmonious blend of sweet, woody undertones with dried fruit and orange nuances that linger delightfully.
Its uniqueness comes from being distilled in 1978 and aged for 40 years, creating a luxurious and complex rum. Additionally, its limited release of only 300 bottles adds to its exclusivity.
The ABV of Dictador Best of 1978 Extremo 40yo is 43%, providing a balanced and enjoyable drinking experience.
This rum is characterized by its sweet, fruity notes combined with caramel, spice, and woody undertones.
Having tasted almost all of Dictador’s "Best of" releases, I can confidently say this 1978 Extremo is among the sweetest. While a higher ABV and lower sugar content might enhance it further, its rich and fruity profile with layers of caramel and spice makes it a slow, indulgent sipper. The slow-moving curtains in the glass are a visual testament to its luxurious nature. A true gem for rum aficionados.
