A Colombian Rum with History
The history of Dictador dates back to the 18th century, when Severo Arango y Ferro, nicknamed “El Dictador” for his strong personality, settled in Cartagena to oversee trade with Spain. His passion for rum led him to create his own distinctive style, which over time became legendary. Centuries later, his spirit lives on in every bottle that bears his name, produced with precision under the tropical conditions of Colombia’s Caribbean coast.
The warm, humid climate of Cartagena accelerates the ageing process, allowing the rum to develop intense nuances and a smooth texture. Combined with the use of high-quality sugarcane molasses, this environment gives Dictador 10 Years its distinctive sensory profile — full of depth, harmony, and refinement.
The Art of Ageing
Dictador 10 Years Rum is made from virgin sugarcane honey, which is carefully fermented and then partially distilled in copper pot stills and stainless-steel columns. The rum is then aged in oak barrels that previously held bourbon, imparting subtle notes of vanilla, caramel, and light toasted wood.
Over ten years of maturation, the rum acquires a deep amber colour and a velvety texture. Each batch is supervised by the master blender, who hand-selects the barrels that have reached the perfect balance point. This meticulous process ensures that every bottle maintains the distinctive Dictador signature — a round, aromatic rum with a long, elegant finish.
