Dictador 2 Masters Despagne 1977

A 40 year-old Dictador Rum from a 1977 single vintage cask finished in port casks then shipped to Despagne, Entre-deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France. The rum was matureted by 12 months in Selmer barrel, light heat, made from a mix of oak wood from North East French forests, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Bottled at 46,3 % ABV. Nose: Nose: Butterscotch, fresh vanilla pods, whipped cream and notes of white tea. Some vintage wood notes and a hit of newly spun wool. Orchids and lily of the valley. Palate: Big butterscotch notes again, with stroopwafel, hazelnuts, mandarin and mango notes. Balanced with a hint of oak spices and some big fruit notes at the end. Finish: The fruity notes set the scene, with red fruits moving towards yellow tropical fruits and finished off with a drizzle of hot toffee sauce.
