Dictador

In 1751, Severo Arango y Ferro arrived in Cartagena de Indias, a port city in Colombia, to develop trade. A man of power, he was quickly dubbed “the Dictador.”

In 1913, Don Angel Núñez decided to establish his business there and founded his distillery, Destilería Colombiana. For 40 years, he produced and distributed his wines and spirits locally. Upon his death, the family took over the business.

At the turn of the 21st century, the distillery was incorporated into a larger group, allowing it to expand throughout the Caribbean region and benefit from new markets for its rums.
