The rum is named after Severo Arango y Ferro, nicknamed "El Dictador", who in the 1700s oversaw trade between Spain and the colonies. At the end of the 18th century Severo Arango y Ferro went to Cartagena de Indias in Nueva Granada (today's Colombia). He had plans to improve the tax collection system for Spain in the American Spanish colonies. His nature was quickly recognized and soon became DICTADOR. During his stay at Nueva Grenada he fell in love at first sight (and taste) - he discovered the rum there. His dedication and attachment to a tropical potion led him to become a key supplier of exotic sugarcane spirits, which at the time were the currency of the region.
The company was founded by one of his descendants, Don Julio Arango y Parra, in 1913.[1][2]

Productionedit
The Dictador distillery is located in Cartagena de Indias on the Caribbean Sea in Colombia.[3]
Dictador rum is produced from sugar cane honey as opposed to molasses.[1][4] In the rum production process, depending on its type, fermentation is subjected to so-called "Honey" - juice obtained from the first pressing of sugar cane. Later - in steel columns or copper alembics - distillation takes place. The distillate obtained in this way goes to oak barrels, in which it is aged. This is where the rum gets its final "cut" shaping its taste and bouquet.
Due to restrictions imposed by the government to protect their own distilleries Dictador rum is not sold in 98% of Colombia. Less than 1% of its total production makes it to the Colombian market.[3]
