Dictador BEST OF 1973 APASIONADO Colombian Rum Limited Edition 42% vol. 0.7 l

The Dictador BEST OF 1973 APASIONADO Colombian Rum Limited Release is an exceptional vintage rum rarity from Colombia, bottled at 42 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle. This bottling is part of the exclusive Dictador Best of Collection, for which particularly old and carefully selected rum reserves are drawn from the distillery’s historic stocks. The focus is on the 1973 vintage, which lends this edition its special status as a rarity. The designation ‘APASIONADO’ identifies a distinct selection within the Best of Collection and distinguishes this variant from the ‘Extremo’ and ‘Altisimo’ bottlings. As a limited release, the rum has been bottled in limited quantities and is therefore aimed particularly at connoisseurs and collectors of rare Colombian vintage rums.


The Dictador Best of 1973 Apasionado embodies the combination of decades of maturation and meticulous cask selection. During its long ageing period, intense fruity, toasty and woody notes have developed, which are characteristic of very old rum reserves. At 42% ABV, the rum is presented at a moderate drinking strength that highlights the mature character of the bottling. In particular, the historic 1973 vintage, its inclusion in the Dictador Best of Collection and its limited availability make this premium Colombian rum an intriguing rarity for discerning rum collections. As this variant does not specify an exact age, unlike some other ‘Best of’ bottlings, no specific ageing period should be inferred from the 1973 vintage alone.
