In 1751 Severo Arango y Ferro arrived to Cartagena de Indias to control and build the commerce between American Spanish colonies and Spain. Due to his strength and power of the region he was given the name "Dictador". Since his first taste of the tropical elixir called rum, Dictador fell in love with all the sweetness and elegance of the liquor and he decided to become a producer and trader of different exotic and high quality rums. Dictador's immense amount of power soon made Cartagena de Indias one of the most important ports in the Spanish Armada. As the city began to grow so did Dictadors love for the rum and he compiled secrets that are now know today as Dictador Rum. In 1913, almost 180 years after Dictador arrived to Caragena de India, his ancestors decided to establish a distillery in Colombia using Dictadors secrets. They investigated Dictador's life and learned all about his rum production. Using the secrets they found from their late great ancestor they were able to produce the same high quality rum that was sold by Dictador himself.

Closure: CORK

Alternative wine closures are substitute closures used in the wine industry for sealing wine bottles in place of traditional cork closures. The emergence of these alternatives has grown in response to quality control efforts by winemakers to protect against "cork taint" caused by the presence of the chemical trichloroanisole (TCA).

Screw caps or "Stelvin caps" are closures made only from aluminium material that threads onto the bottleneck. They are the predominant closure used by New Zealand wineries.[8][9] This can be attributed in part to the New Zealand screw cap initiative which promotes the use of screw caps instead of cork. Screw caps form a tighter seal and can keep out oxygen for a longer time than cork. These benefits aid in maintaining the wine's overall quality and aging potential.

Vino-Seal, or Vino-Lok, is a plastic/glass closure released by Alcoa. Since its introduction into the European market in 2003, over 300 wineries have utilized Vino-Seal. Using a glass stopper with an inert o-ring, the Vino-Seal creates a hermetic seal that prevents oxidation and TCA contamination.

Zork is an alternative wine closure that seals like a screw cap and pops like a cork. The Zork closure consists of three parts; an outer cap providing a tamper evident clamp that locks onto the band of a standard cork mouth bottle, an inner metal foil which provides an oxygen barrier similar to a screw cap, and an inner plunger which creates the ‘pop’ on extraction and reseals after use.

The traditional crowned bottle cap has been used in the sparkling wine industry as a closure during the bottle fermentation process (méthode traditionnelle). Normally the cap is replaced with a cork before shipping, though recently some producers are releasing wines using the crown cap as their closure.
