Dictador Columbus Treasure 1780-1980 70 cl. 44%

Harewood & Dictador is a blend of the world’s oldest rum, The Harewood Collection from 1780 and Dictador, a 41-year-old rum from 1980. The Harewood rum was actually discovered by accident, in the same way that Columbus supposedly discovered America… The parallels between the discoveries inspired to make the world’s oldest rum blend.

The result is a unique rum that far exceeds the expectations of what luxury rum can do.
The rum has several extensive layers of cigar leaves, honey, licorice, vanilla and sweet, spicy notes. It is a dry rum which has a seductive texture, almost creamy, with notes of freshly roasted coffee, prunes and salted caramel.

Spicy notes of Madagascar vanilla and delicious, balanced nuances of cardamom and caramel. A hint of licorice adds a nice depth to the flavor. The rum also offers soft tones of toffee and pralines with ginger and crème brûlée, well seasoned with apple, vanilla cream and pleasant notes of manuka honey, coffee and hazelnuts.

Elegant and with an extremely long finish. Truly a pleasure!

Columbus Rum comes in a fantastic gift box, with a replica of part of Columbus’s logbook – made by his mate.

The Harewoord Rum Collection holds the Guinness record for being the world’s oldest rum.

Dictador is a Colombian rum producer whose strong roots date back to 1913, when the company was founded under the name Destilería Colombiana by Don Julio Aango y Parra.

Dictador is located in Cartagena in northern Colombia, facing the Caribbean Sea. Through its many years of operation, the house has continually refined its production, its recipes and its storage methods, and today Dictador belongs among the elite of quality producers in both rum and gin.

The secret behind the unique products from Dictador lies in the Parra family (Hernan Parra), who are the 3rd generation of master blenders at Dictador. For the Parra family, rum is not just rum, but an art form that is continuously developed and improved. It’s art in a bottle. Try it yourself and experience the Colombian treasure in liquid form.
