Dictador rum, produced with over a century of Colombian heritage, represents a blend of timeless craftsmanship and innovative art. Here’s what makes Dictador a pioneer in the world of fine spirits:
HERITAGE & CRAFTSMANSHIP
Legacy Rooted in Colombia
Since 1913, Dictador has been crafted in Cartagena, Colombia, guided by the expertise of the Parra family. Now led by third-generation Master Blender Hernan Parra, Dictador combines traditional aging techniques with an innovative approach, creating exceptional rums that honor both family legacy and local traditions.
Global Operations with a Colombian Heart
While managed from Europe, Dictador rum retains its soul in Cartagena. The rum’s production process is entirely based in Colombia, drawing from the rich resources and culture of the region, while blending global innovation into every bottle.
