Dictador BEST OF 1972 APASIONADO Colombian Rum 45YO/030317/EX-P030 41% vol. 0.7 l

The Dictador BEST OF 1972 APASIONADO Colombian Rum 45YO/030317/EX-P030 is an exceptional 45-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 reserves from the Colombian house’s stocks have been chosen. The focus of this edition is the 1972 vintage, whilst the individual designation 45YO/030317/EX-P030 allows for the unambiguous identification of this rare variant within the collection. The designation ‘APASIONADO’ denotes a distinct selection within the Best of series and distinguishes this bottling from the Extremo and Altisimo editions.


With a certified age of 45 years, the Dictador Best of 1972 Apasionado ranks among the distillery’s exceptionally long-matured vintage bottlings. Decades of maturation form the basis for a profound character, in which ripe fruit, toasted and woody notes take centre stage. This variant is bottled at a comparatively moderate 41% ABV, making the character of this aged rum accessible. The combination of the 1972 vintage, the 45-year age statement and the unique reference number EX-P030 lends this premium Colombian rum a distinctive rarity and collector’s value. As such, this bottling is aimed particularly at connoisseurs of old vintage rums and collectors of the Dictador Best of Collection.
