Dictador Rum 2 Masters Laballe 1976

A testament to time and craftsmanship, the Dictador Rum 2 Masters Laballe 1976 is an extraordinary expression of the distiller’s art. This 41-year-old single vintage rum embarked on a remarkable journey, beginning with a lengthy maturation in bourbon barrels.

To add further complexity and depth, the rum was then entrusted to the expertise of Laballe in Armagnac for a six-month finishing period in a unique medium-toasted Black Gascon oak cask. This final stage imbued the spirit with the essence of the French terroir, resulting in a harmonious fusion of Colombian rum’s rich character and the elegant nuances of Armagnac.

A true collector’s item, this rare gem offers a profound taste experience that spans decades and continents.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE
Great complexity and soft vanilla extract, crme caramel, almond butter, banana leaf esters, punctuated by dried apple and figs as well as powerful phenols.

PALATE
It expands and coats the palate with rich dark chocolate, mocha and toasted pecans as an overlay to the more expansive sea-salt caramel and maple bar, going into a long supple finisz that lingers with nice touches of caramel apple and high-grade marzipan.

COLOR
Dark and brooding mahogany with brass accents, going out into a fine light golden rim with high viscosity and nice legs showing in the glass
