A 1998 Colombian molasses rum from Destileria Colombiana finished in sherry casks, all dried fruit, dark chocolate and cherry, the column still spirit leaning rich and softly sweet at 45%.
Description
Dictador Episodio 1 is a vintage Colombian release distilled at Destileria Colombiana from molasses on a column still, the light clean spirit that defines the Spanish style. Drawn from 1998 and dressed in sherry wood, it sits in the coffee, cocoa and dried fruit register that Colombian ron is known for, where the cask and the blending do most of the talking rather than the distillate itself.
The sherry maturation pushes dried fruit, fermented depth and a faint glue note on the nose, then dark chocolate and barrel spice across the palate, closing on cherry, vanilla and gentle wood. There is a rounded sweetness here that suits its after dinner intent, and the bottle keeps to a comfortable 45%. Honest framing matters with these Colombian solera leaning houses, so treat this as a soft, fruit and chocolate sipper rather than a dry austere one.
