DICTADOR RUM 10YO 40% 700ML

Description

The Dictador distillery is located in Cartagena de Indias on the Caribbean Sea in Colombia. The privileged location almost on the sea creates a unique microclimate, ideal for ageing rum, with an ambient temperature above 25 degrees, relative humidity of more than 85 percent per year. The proximity of the sea gives a characteristic flavour to the rum. Dictador rum is produced from sugar cane honey instead of molasses. In the rum production process, depending on the type, the fermentation is subjected to the so-called "Money" - juice obtained from the first pressing of sugar cane. Subsequently - in steel columns or copper stills - distillation takes place. The distillate thus obtained goes to oak barrels, in which it is aged. This is where rum gets its final "cut" that shapes its taste and bouquet. Due to the restrictions imposed by the government to protect its distilleries, Dictador rum is not sold in 98% of Colombia. Less than 1% of its total production reaches the Colombian market.

This rum begins as "virgin sugar cane honey" that is distilled in both traditional copper stills and solid columns, giving it a mix of heavy and light rum styles for a well-balanced body. It has been aged for 10 years in Quercus Humbolti, or Colombian white oak.
