Dictador 2 Masters Carlos I Colombian Aged Rum 1980 is the result of a partnership between the Osborne Group and the latest release of limited edition ultra-premium rums, created by Dictador Master Blender Hernan Parra and former sherry and brandy blender Ignacio Lozano. This vintage is aged in Carlos I Brandy de Jerez barrels, which are on average between 50-60 years old. The finest Oloroso as well as Amontillado Sherries have already been stored in these special barrels for over 20 years. The result is a Cuban rum over 40 years old with excellent Mediterranean as well as nutty aromas.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: A pronounced note of rich dark chocolate, black cherries and oolong tea. Freshly cut oak mixes with antique books and vintage, well varnished furniture giving a luxurious and opulent aroma. Figs drizzled in honey finish the nose.

Palate: Juicy red apples are the first note, followed by fresh ginger, ripe red cherries and some milk chocolate notes in the mouth. It is followed by rich tropical fruits, pineapples in syrup, apricots with honey and almonds flaked on top. Spun sugar and a hint of ginger.

Finish: A long, lingering and warming finish gives layers of ginger, cedar wood, and candied orange peel dipped in dark chocolate.
