This edition is part of Dictador’s exclusive ‘Best Of’ series and is based on a selected rum from the 1978 vintage, which has been aged for a total of 40 years. To ensure clear identification, the bottling bears the cask number EX-W141 and the batch number 78-004. The ALTISIMO Edition is distinguished in particular by the use of selected whisky casks from the Scottish Highlands, the influence of which is intended to lend an additional dimension to the long-aged Colombian rum. The aim of this special cask selection is to create a blend of floral notes and characteristic hints of peat and smoke.


Particularly noteworthy is the distinct collector’s appeal of the Dictador Best of 1978 ALTISIMO.
