The Dictador BEST OF 1980 APASIONADO Colombian Rum 37YO/260917/EX-P115 is an exceptional 37-year-old rum rarity from Colombia, with an alcohol content of 41 per cent, in a 0.7-litre bottle. This bottling forms part of the exclusive Dictador Best of Collection, for which particularly old and carefully selected rum reserves have been chosen from the Colombian distiller’s stocks. The focus is on the 1980 vintage, whilst the designation 37YO/260917/EX-P115 clearly identifies this specific bottling within the extensive Best of Collection. The designation ‘APASIONADO’ represents a distinct selection within this high-quality series and sets the rum apart from the ‘Extremo’ and ‘Altisimo’ editions.


With its verified age of 37 years, the Dictador Best of 1980 Apasionado is aimed in particular at collectors and connoisseurs seeking exceptionally old Colombian vintage rums. The long maturation period allows for the intense development of fruity, toasty and woody notes, whilst the comparatively moderate bottling strength of 41% ABV provides a harmonious framework. In particular, the combination of the 1980 vintage, the 37-year age statement and the unique reference number EX-P115 lends this bottling its distinctive character as a rare find. This makes the Dictador Apasionado not only of interest for exclusive rum tastings, but also as a rare collector’s item within the Dictador Best of Collection.
