Dictador Rima I American Oak Cask Vintage 1997 700ml

Dictador Rima I American Oak Cask Vintage 1997 is a rare Colombian vintage rum distilled in 1997 and matured for 25 years in American oak.

The long maturation produces a deep and complex profile built around dark chocolate, cinnamon, honey, maple syrup and roasted coffee. The higher 50% ABV preserves a powerful structure while allowing the rich dessert-like character of the oak-aged spirit to remain prominent.

Rima, meaning “rhyme” in Spanish, represents Dictador's concept of creating harmonious relationships between aroma, flavour and maturation. This vintage is designed for collectors and experienced rum drinkers seeking a concentrated, oak-driven Colombian rum.

Tasting Notes
