Dictador | Whisky Lady

Our last rum for the evening was a Dictador… one you won’t find to easily… available only in Columbia.

Dictador Esencia 25 year 40%, Batch 243-8

Colour – Dark copper
Nose – Very woody, wet dish rag, light varnish, dry, caramel custard
Palate – Loads of wood, balsa, heavy character, depth, dry, complex
Finish – A zing that get deeper, fruity spice then sweet

There was no doubt this was a robust, complex, rich rum. A real treat!

Here are the Columbian and The Seychelles rums we enjoyed that same evening:

It was fun to digress into a rummy evening. However, truth be told, as fabulous as these rums were… I still remain first and foremost a Whisky Lady!

While our base may be Bombay, we are an aventuresome lot… with one of our merry malters making his way to Cartegena, Columbia in a quest for quality rums.

Here is what he found in Columbia:

Plus another tasting companion simply had to add to the mix with another rum from his recent trip to The Seychelles:

Takamaka 8 year 40%

And if this wasn’t enough, from Colombia also came a trio of “Licor de cacao” – Chilli, Passion Fruit and Orange… with narry a drop of alcohol but an experiment that intrigued our travelling man. Do yourself a favour and stop now. We all concluded we had never come across something quite so foul before. Ever. I guess some experiments simply don’t cross the oceans well…
