"All our rums are rums. In 2016 we had an issue with the Colombian authorities and there was a small batch of ‘Best of’ rums where we had to add the phrase ‘Spirit Drink’ to the back label. It was purely incidental. I hope this won’t be a major problem for you." – Dictador

"As informed by the production team, in the past we used a different glass supplier and the bottle had a much thinner base, hence this visual effect in some of our bottles. Feel free to open one bottle at our expense and check it." – Dictador
