Amber 100-month aged rum is the base of our 100-month series. Its colour reflects the finest rum - smooth, crisp and highly palatable. After continuous distillation in a steel column still and eventual ageing in ex-bourbon oak barrels, it is then decanted by gravity to preserve its stunning natural colour and full body. This is an exceptionally well rounded rum, ideal for sipping neat or blending in the finest classic cocktails. Producer History and Myth In the late 18th century, Severo Arango y Ferro arrived in Cartagena de Indias in Nueva Granada (present-day Colombia), he had plans to improve tax collection for Spain in the American Spanish colonies. His strong and powerful nature was quickly recognised and he was soon dubbed ‘DICTADOR’. Then came the moment when he fell in love at first sight (and taste): he discovered rum. His devotion and affection for the tropical elixir drove him to become a key trader of exotic sugar cane spirits, which at the time were considered a currency in the region. Heritage In 1913, almost 180 years after DICTADOR’s myth was conceived, one of his descendants established Destileria Colombiana. Don Julio Arango y Parra spent years researching DICTADOR’s myth as well as the intricacies of rum production in order to become the finest Colombian rum producer in the Caribbean Zone, while dedicating his life to honouring his forefather’s legacy. Going Global Determined to showcase DICTADOR’s success and unique flavour profile on a global scale, the third generation of the family sought to expand and share their beautiful liquid around the globe. In 2009, savvy international investors came on board and helped to make DICTADOR one of the most-loved and awarded Colombian rums in the world. Dictador: The Concept DICTADOR is extraordinary, international and award winning. Age-old Colombian traditions are combined with innovative European and Japanese designs to create perfect rum that is rich in both flavour and style.
