Ron Dictador 2 Masters Ximenez Spinola

Ron Dictador 2 Masters Ximenez Spinola: A 45-year-old Dictador rum from a 1976 vintage, finished in whisky barrels, was sent to Jerez de la Frontera, in the warm south of Spain.

There, the rum was matured for 9 months in 50-year-old French oak barrels of Pedro Ximénez. “2Masters allows us to participate in something different, without losing our tradition, nor the tradition of Dictador.

Both companies have a fascinating history behind them, which has already been written.

But with 2Masters we are writing a new chapter of that story together (…) with real enthusiasm, to achieve a product that goes beyond excellence.

We hope that this step we are now taking together with Dictador will be something that our children will continue.

And that they do it with the same enthusiasm with which we, their parents, are now starting the 2 Masters project."

José Antonio ZarzanaTASTING NOTES BY CHARLES MACLEAAppearance: Deep polished rosewood, with crimson highlights.

Slow, thick legs, indicating texture.

Aroma: A deep and soft sensation on the nose, which slightly dries the nose, the top notes are of Christmas cake with burnt edges, with toasted almond flakes, becoming juicy and fleshy after a while.

The middle notes are both fruity (old Madeira) and floral - an intoxicating, perfumed fragrance of tropical lilies on a hot night.

The base note is reminiscent of burnt caramel.

Mouth: Creamy texture that fills the mouth and an overall sweet flavor, with molasses caramel on the mid-palate and a suggestion of marinated wine and glazed pork.

Then a fragrant finish, pleasantly refreshing on the palate with a lingering warm spice.

Comment: Rich, smooth and rounded, layered and complex, with each layer of aroma and flavor revealing itself in turn.
