Dictador Game Changer Orlinski Red is a art-rum in a clear, powerful red livery — the colour of passion and daring in the Orlinski vocabulary. The sculpted Kong-head stopper is Richard Orlinski's signature mark. 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 ambient temperatures develop the characteristic Dictador house style: maple syrup, dark caramel, orange peel, clove, tobacco and roasted cocoa. 40% volume, individually numbered. The bottle is the statement; the rum rewards a neat pour. COCKTAIL SUGGESTION: the Rum Old Fashioned keeps the spirit of the red — 5 cl Dictador Red, 1 bar spoon cane sugar syrup, 2 dashes Angostura, large ice cube, orange twist flamed over the glass. The warm spice and caramel character absorbs the bitters without losing the house style. Also excellent neat in a Glencairn at room temperature — the cane honey sweetness is its own reward.
Tasting notes
Amber gold hue, carried by a vibrant red 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.
