Dictador BEST OF 1977 APASIONADO Colombian Rum 40YO 41% Vol. 0.7 l is an exceptional, vintage-aged rum that stands out not only for its 40 years of ageing but also for its unique production process at the renowned Dictador distillery in Colombia. This exclusive 1977 vintage is counted amongst the world’s finest rums and represents a true masterpiece of the art of rum-making. With an alcohol content of 41% vol., it captivates with a perfect balance of intense aromas and gentle smoothness, making it a true delight for connoisseurs and collectors alike.

The Dictador BEST OF 1977 rum has been aged for over four decades in specially selected oak casks, lending it tremendous complexity and depth. This long ageing period has endowed the rum with an intense variety of flavours – ranging from ripe fruit, caramel and vanilla to spicy notes of oak and tobacco. The smooth, velvety textures and subtle sweetness make this rum a luxurious experience that impresses both when enjoyed neat and in special cocktails. A true meisterwerk that makes every sip an unforgettable experience.

"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

The Dictador BEST OF 1977 APASIONADO rum pairs perfectly with dark chocolate or a fine cigar, which further enhances the rich flavours of this vintage. This rum also makes an excellent pairing with a spicy, mature cheese such as blue cheese or a mature Cheddar. Enjoyed neat, the rum reveals its full sophistication, yet it also shows itself at its best in a classic rum cocktail such as a Rum Old Fashioned. Those wishing to enjoy the rum with an exotic twist can pair it with a fruity dessert such as a mango tart or a creamy crème brûlée.
