We are pleased to announce that Dictador 2 Masters Château d’Arche 1978 has gained not one, but two gold medals awarded by Aqua Vitae magazine.
Spirit of the Year 2020
Justification for the prize:
“From 1977, rum went to France, where it spent a year ageing in barrels of the sweetest Sauternes wines from the Château d’Arche, from the very heart of the AOC Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux.
The result is an elegant, delicate rum, of which sweetness beautifully reflects the character of a liqueur wine.”
Spirit of the Year 2020
Justification for the prize:
“A wonderful aroma of leather and tobacco, raisins and cherry leaves. Tart-salty taste, lots of tobacco, smoked plums. The finish is also smoking: plums and other fruits, and even grilled shrimps and a light aftertaste of charcoal”.
