Distillery/Bottler: Dictador relies on a traditional production in Cartagena, where the recipes are now carried on by the Parra family in the third generation. The rum is distilled from fermented sugarcane honey and matures in used oak barrels and port wine barrels. This method gives the rum complex aromas and a fine flavor structure. The distillery uses modern stainless steel alembics for distillation to ensure quality.
