The Dictador Insolent XO Rum is produced in Colombia and aged in a selection of casks - ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and Port casks were used to create this sweet, spicy, mocha-rich rum.
This, alas, is not for me. I guess that I should have requested a sample since they're available but I decided to jump straight in and get a whole bottle! It smells.. interesting when opened, hard to put my finger on it. On first drinking after pouring into the glass, it tastes very very medicinal - like a really strong tree sap taste. At this point, I was really disappointed! Interestingly, it changes significantly in the glass - after a few minutes, the medicinal taste has retreated a lot and it tastes sweet, like cinder toffee. After a few minutes more, that seems to recede a little and it's quite a gentle and pleasant rum. There is very little burn when swallowing, though there is a quite pleasant touch of heat on the tongue while you drink it. Maybe I have just tastes for something a little simpler.. this is a complex rum that I'm glad I've tried (the way in which it changed so much was intriguing and something I've experienced with some wines but never rums) but I'll not buy more, nor could I really recommend it.
If you like all of the great flavor but want a smooth mild burn . . . This is it!!! What you hope to taste when you want the complex level of a hard alcohol straight up, so enjoyable. Aficionados, enjoy your strong taste and the rest of us need to look no further.
Hi there. Yes, samples of this should be available to purchase later on today. --The Chaps at Master of Malt
