About Dictador 2 Masters Glenfarclas 1972 Colombian Rum

For this exquisite marriage of the best rum and whiskey, Dictador’s master blender Hernan Parra partnered with Glenfarclas’ Callum Fraser in Scotland. The story of Dictador 2 Masters Glenfarclas 1972 Colombian Rum began in 1972 when the spectacular rum was distilled. Then, it was transferred to Speyside, Scotland, where it was finished in port casks – it spent seven months in a single third-fill sherry cask that previously held 2002 vintage of Glenfarclas Scotch. Finally bottled at 90 proof, only 378 bottles of this extremely rare and one-of-a-kind marriage were produced.

In 1751, Severo Arango y Ferro arrived in Cartagena, a port city in northern Colombia. Ferro had been sent to Colombia from Spain, and was asked to establish and oversee commercial trading activities between Spain and its American colonies. Ferro proved himself to be an able and ruthless statesman and under his leadership, the city of Cartagena became a hub of economic activity and the most important port for the Spanish fleet in the Americas. Ferro’s strength and power also earned him the nickname “Dictador.”

Dictador was partial to a variety of rums that were being distilled in the Caribbean at the time, many of which passed through Cartagena on their way to Spain. In 1913, over 150 years after Ferro initially arrived in Colombia, one of his descendants established Destileria Colombiana. Today, the distillery honors the legacy of its founding ancestors with Dictador Rum.
