Dictador Game Changer Orlinski Orange is a art-rum in a bold solar-orange livery — the colour of energy, creativity and celebration. The sculpted Kong-head stopper is Richard Orlinski's signature. Inside: the classic Dictador blend, distilled from virgin cane honey and tropically aged in American oak casks. 40% volume. Numbered limited edition. AGEING: tropical maturation in American oak casks — the cane honey distillate and warm climate develop the house character: maple syrup, dark caramel, clove, tobacco and roasted cocoa. The monochromatic orange bottle houses the same liquid found across the Game Changer collection; what changes is the statement it makes on the shelf or the table. 40% volume, individually numbered. COCKTAIL SUGGESTION: a Rum Old Fashioned with a citrus slant — 5 cl Game Changer Orange, 1 bar spoon raw cane syrup, 2 dashes orange bitters (instead of Angostura), large ice cube, orange zest flame. The orange bottle invites the theme. Equally compelling poured neat at room temperature in a Glencairn — the caramel-honey sweetness of the cane honey distillate does not need ice to show.
Tasting notes
Amber gold hue, staged in a solar-orange Dictador bottle topped with Orlinski's sculpted Kong-head stopper.
Rich nose: maple syrup, dark caramel and fresh orange peel open onto notes of clove, tobacco and roasted cocoa. The patinated, round Dictador signature asserts itself immediately.
Suave, enveloping palate: caramel, honey, raisins and gentle spice. American oak lends an elegant woody structure without overpowering the sweetness of the cane honey.
Medium, warming finish of candied orange peel, coffee and toasted vanilla.
The Game Changer collection is born of the encounter between Dictador and French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski, the world's best-selling living artist in his segment since 2015. Known for his faceted style and pop colours, Orlinski gives each edition a unique Dictador bottle livery topped by a sculpted 'Kong' head stopper — a direct reference to his most iconic work. Behind the artistic shell sits the rum itself: a Dictador blend distilled in Cartagena, Colombia, from virgin cane honey and aged under tropical climate in American oak barrels. Every colourway is a numbered limited edition, designed to be both collected and drunk.
