Dictador launches first collection in Capitulo series

Colombian rum producer Dictador has announced the first release in its new Capitulo limited series.

Designed as Dictador's offering to the Fine and Rare category, the Capitulo series will feature three "chapters" that showcase a range of individually bottled casks, each selected by Dictador master blender Hernan Parra.

The brand says the range is designed for consumers who would like to invest in a collectible rum, "a bottle they will be proud to have in their home collction".

The first "chapter" in the range, Capitulo Uno, is a collection of rums aged in American oak and finished in a range of casks including port and sherry.

There are eight releases in the range, five American oak cask, two port cask and one sherry cask, all aged for between 20 and 24 years and bottled at between 41% and 44% ABV.

Capitulo Uno Port Cask Finish is the first expression to launch in the UK. All other expressions in the Capitulo Uno range will be released throughout 2021.
