Dictador 12 Years Rum

Dictador 12 is made in Cartagena de Indias on Colombia's Caribbean coast, at the Destilería Colombiana, which has been producing spirits since 1913. It is distilled from fermented virgin sugarcane honey, partly in copper alembics and partly in column stills, and aged in a solera system. Master Blender Hernán Parra, the third generation of the family, blends rums aged from five up to twelve years.

Maple syrup, tobacco and leather on the nose, with soft caramel and oak, lead to an explosion of fruit and honey with creamy spices on the palate. The finish is lightly oaky, with deep cigar tobacco and lingering coffee. Perfect on its own or in a rum Old Fashioned.
