Dictador Colombian Aged Rum 12 Years Old 70 cl 

Description

History

Dictador is a brand that produces rum in Colombia, in Cartagena; it is no coincidence that the area is one of the most renowned for the production of sugar cane. The foundation took place in 1913 thanks to Don Julio Arango y Parra, who for the assignment of the name decided to draw inspiration from one of his ancestor, Severo Arango y Ferro, known precisely as Dictador during the colonization of Colombia by Spain for his character ruthless. In a short time the distillery managed to establish itself as one of the main ones in the area and to expand its business first nationally and then internationally, producing various high-level rum labels.

Production method

To produce an “industrial” rum (this is how rums produced in the islands of former Spanish domination are called) molasses is used, which are often nothing more than sugar beet residues after processing for the production of the latter. This is then fermented, created a must and distilled. Subsequently these can be aged in wood and then created a blend of rums of various degrees of aging in order to find a perfect balance.
