This second edition of 2 Masters Despagne features a Dictador rum made from a single 1979 ex-Bourbon barrel, then sent to Despagne, France, for additional aging. The rum spends an additional 34 months in Selmer oak barrels, with gentle toasting.
Limited edition of 257 bottles.

Nose: Figs drizzled in Manuka honey dusted with bee pollen. Hints of oak char with sticky toffee pudding and well-aged dates. White peaches comes next giving a lighter fruity tone to the rich honey notes.
Palate: Oak spices platform a grape-driven palate that manages to balance sweetness and acidity, coating the mouth with an unctuous cola note. There is all spice and red cherries, which pull this rum into another dimension giving a tiny note of sherbet fizz at the end.
Finish: The extra long finish gives ripe red cherries, cola cubes and oak spices.
