Dictador partners with the house of crystal makers masters Lalique for this limited edition Dictador Generations in Lalique. A tribute to the Parra family, Dictador's master blender, of which Hernan represents the third generation, he blends for the occasion with his father Dario rums from unique vintages of 1976 aged in American oak barrels and in Port casks. Rich, with woody aromas, this rum exalts deep notes of dark chocolate, leather and madagascar vanilla beans. Roasted coffee and a hint of star anise add complexity to the tasting. A beautiful balance between the roundness, the complexity of the aromas and the marked spicy notes coming from the American oak barrel. The bottle, designed by Lalique, is inspired by the beauty of the Caribbean and its beaches of crystal clear waters. Lalique captured the character of this natural wonder by incorporating the water's reflective patterns on each bottle through Lalique's signature clear and frosted technique, which sculpts the light through the crystal decanter and brings the piece to life.
Limited edition of 300 numbered pieces.
