Description

A 41-year-old Dictador Rum from a 1976 single vintage cask finished in Bourbon barrels and then shipped to Laballe in Armagnac, where it further spent six months in an interesting Black Gascon oak cask, medium toasted.Nose: Great complexity and soft vanilla extract, crème 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. Bottle Size: 750mL ABV: 46%
