FUSION OF ART
AND SPIRITS
DICTADOR X RICHARD ORLINSKI
THIS COLLABORATION MARKS THE FIRST TIME THAT A SPIRIT, WITHIN THE RUM CATEGORY, HAS BEEN WHOLLY ENCASED WITHIN AN ARTWORK. DICTADOR IS DISRUPTING THE MARKET BY CREATING AN ACTUAL ARTWORK AS A BOTTLE; FIRMLY ESTABLISHING THE COMPANY AS THE ARTHOUSE SPIRIT BRAND AND CEMENTING AN ONGOING COLLABORATION WITH THE ART WORLD.
Meet Richard Orlinski
the genius behind, sculptural artistry
RICHARD ORLINSKI
BORN IN 1966, RICHARD ORLINSKI HAS EARNED INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM FOR HIS SCULPTURES USING INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS, SUCH AS RESIN AND ALUMINIUM, TO CRAFT HIGHLY PIGMENTED AND POLISHED RENDERINGS OF WILDLIFE AND CULTURAL ICONS. RECOGNISED AS ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING FRENCH CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS, WITH HIS WORK EXHIBITED AT GALLERIES AND SHOWS ALL ACROSS THE WORLD, THE DICTADOR COLLABORATION PRESENTS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A TIMELESS ORLINSKI SCULPTURE AND INVEST IN THE RUM REVOLUTION AND A VERY SPECIAL LIQUID.
"I AM VERY HAPPY TO BRING MY CREATIVE VISION TO THIS COLLABORATION. IT IS, FOR ME, THE FUSION BETWEEN TWO UNIVERSES AND CULTURES AS DIFFERENT, AS COMPLEMENTARY. I WANTED TO BRING A CREATIVE NOTION TO DRESS THIS COLLECTION OF SPIRITS SO THAT IT IS UNIQUE. IT'S A WAY OF TAKING UP A CHALLENGE; TO BRING ART WHERE WE DON'T EXPECT IT." - RICHARD ORLINSKI At TOTEM's core lies a dedication to promoting traditionalism in artistry, creating a sanctuary where soul indigenous cultures find their expression.
Blended by Dictador distillery Master, Hernan Parra, DICTADOR 5 DECADES uses RUM from FINELY AGED 1966 / 1976 / 1986 / 1996 / 2006 casks, representing FIVE DECADES OF THE RICHARD ORLINSKI LIFE AND WORK.
THE EXCEPTIONAL LIQUID: A MASTERPIECE IN EVERY SIP
Master blender Hernan Parra has personally selected the best barrels from his family's private stock in Colombia to create the exceptional liquid, truly art in itself, with 525 bottles available worldwide (100 in each colour way, plus 25 bottles hand-painted by Orlinski).
The value of this luxury rum collection is in the value of the 30 barrels ('66-'06) used to prepare each colourway set of bottles. The liquid will never be used in the future by dictador, giving consumers access to one of the oldest rums in the world.
BLENDING ART AND RUM TO PERFECTION
"This groundbreaking collaboration with one of the world's most exciting and renowned contemporary artists is another big step for Dictador. The brand is the definitive investment grade rum and is certainly one of the world's mostdynamic and admired fine and rare spirits due to its outstanding record on innovation, superb quality, authentic stories and stunning aesthetic. This collaboration seesus operating at the pinnacle of the most desired, collectable and coolest spirits in the world with the launch of these beautifully crafted art pieces." - Dictador's Associated Creative Director, Ken Grier
