Dictador Premium Colombian Aged Gin – Treasure (70cl , 43%)
From the clever minds and talented hands that brought us Dictador Rum comes an aged Colombian gin. Using a botanical selection based on the limon mandarino, a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a lemon, they have created a wonderful, citrus-forward gin and given it the rather regal name, Treasure. After distillation, it is aged in rum barrels for 35 weeks to enhance and round out the flavours.
Colombian Treasure Gin is a light amber, aged gin with a citrus-forward profile, featuring prominent notes of tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit, complemented by a smooth, buttery, and slightly sweet character. It is aged in rum barrels, which adds a unique richness, and botanicals like mint, spearmint, and pepper provide complexity. Reviewers describe it as well-rounded, sophisticated, and an excellent choice for both sipping neat and for cocktails, especially for those who enjoy citrus-forward or contemporary gins.
