Dictador 2 Masters Rum Leclerc Briant 1990
Dictador 2 Masters Rum Leclerc Briant 1990 is where Colombian rum meets French Champagne: a vintage 1990 rum from Cartagena's Dictador, finished in ex-Champagne casks from the biodynamic Champagne house Leclerc Briant — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
The 2 Masters series is Dictador's collaboration project: Master Blender Hernan Parra sends decades-old rum from Dictador's Solera system to a second master in France. For this edition, the rum traveled to the chalk cellars of Champagne Leclerc Briant in Épernay, where Cellar Master Hervé Jester gave it a transformative second maturation in rare oak casks that previously held Leclerc Briant's exceptional Champagnes — imparting delicate minerality, freshness, and nuanced fruit. Bottled at a cask-strength-style 92 proof (46% ABV), 750mL, with no additives.
Tasting notes: buttered caramel, toasted coconut, vanilla stalk, salted caramel, and nuttiness on the nose with greener French oak; a rich, expansive palate of maple bar, vanilla yoghurt, honeyed berry, grape juice, condensed sugar cane, evaporated milk, and honeysuckle; deep golden bronze color with mahogany at the rim.
Why buy this bottle? Because it is a one-of-a-kind meeting of two masters — 1990-vintage Colombian rum finished in Champagne casks — from a series where every edition is strictly limited and never repeated.

Serving note: pour neat in a copita or snifter; water is unnecessary at this proof — just give it time to open.
