Dreadful stuff. Doesn't deserve to be called rum. It's like drinking liquid caramel, and how this price tag is remotely justified I do not know. Having had several bottles of Dictador's Best of 1979, this was very disappointing to the extent I mixed it with Doorly's 5 year old to make it drinkable, doing the Doorly's no favours.
Don't get it. This is rum that is definitely infused with sweetening. There is no complexity to this rum. If you like syrup then maybe it will work. Had a glass, cleaned my palate with water and poured a Zacapa 23. Ahhhh!!!
WOW! This is what a rum should be like. Vanilla and coffee on the nose, first time I’ve just been “given” the notes instead of having to work for them. Mouth feel is amazing, my only problem is it’s too easy to drink. My first Dictador rum and I’ve clearly been missing out. This isn’t a rum that overthinks it, this is a rum that wants you to sit there and enjoy drinking it.
I have both the insolent and perpetual, and I can’t work out which is better. They are both 5/5 rums. Definitely coffee flavours, but my palette is rubbish. You can’t go wrong with either one. Enjoy!
One of the best rums I've tasted. It has the aroma of toffee, Butterscotch, Vanilla, Cinnamon and Nutmeg when poured into a glass. The first sip reveals heated oak spices carried through the palate with honeyed butterscotch and toffee. There is no afterburn what so ever and to be honest I had a lot of difficulty putting the bottle away to save for another night because I could have easily finished off the entire bottle in one sitting.
