Cubaney Centenario 25-30-Year

Sweet, spicy and really well balanced. A step up If you compare it with Millonario XO which is Also really good,

Cubaney has a new package. It looks better than the old one in my opinion. It's not as good as the one from Zacapa XO, but I like it.

Smell: Caramel, wood, some sherry, fermented fruits, burned sugar. Very nice, very smooth, well balanced. No alcohol in the nose at all.

Taste: Caramel, slightly sweet, dry fruits, wood, bitterness, burned sugar. Some spice in the finish, it's smooth.
Slightly sherry in the aftertaste (I expected that, typical for Oliver & Oliver).

I expected more from the smell, it's not special. I know some other rums that go in that direction (Ron Botran, QRM30). They are not that good but a way cheaper.

Yes, there are some similarities with QRM30. QRM has more sherry aroma, more wood, more alcohol in the nose. Cubaney is more balanced, more intense in the taste, it's heavier because of the burned sugar aroma.
But QRM has a better value for the price.

Sweetness: 1.5/5
Spice: 2/5
Fruit: 3/5
Mildness: 4/5

I really like cubaney 18y so my expectation from this was big. And its superb. On the nose you can smell that it is really old rum. Aroma is full of plum, oak and caramel. In mouth you can feel flavours of plum jam, vanilla, fruit and oak. Everything is extremly well balanced and rum is super-smooth. I could drink it whole day....

Nice one with a lot of flavors, sweetness, and after taste! A must in every rum lover cabinet.

Oliver, co dodat, prostě paráda. Je cítit staření, výborný, 9,5 bodů

A truly special dram. Colour is dark amber. Good viscosity. Hangs off the walls of the glass. Nose is complex; vanilla, oak, caramel. Alcohol hits you up front on the palate. As this settles the complexity of this rum comes alive. So well balanced, the oak & vanilla winning the dominance battle early, then gradually giving way to spice, caramel & burnt toffee. Length on the palate outstanding. You’ll still taste this for hours after your last sip. Truly special.

Smooth and complex and not overly sweet. And the bottle looks good on the cabinet.

Bought this after reviewing this website significantly and I was not disappointed. Its one of those special rums, that you should really savor and save for a while... I could not. It was too good and I got through the bottle in weeks... So happy I bought this!

Epic, tasty, spicy, amazing, juicy, flavorful and most importantly very well priced. Definitely a strong 10.

So yeah beats every other Dominican rum, right balance of sweetness, light caramel notes, it’s straight down the middle. It deserves an 8.5 but doesn’t deserve to get rounded down since it’s pretty solid, would drink it daily as a backup to my go-tos when they run out and i’m waiting to go to the rum shop

Då var det äntligen Fredag och extra trevlig när det finns paket att hämta hos gröna skylten.🙂 Den här flaskan har jag som med många andra flaskor fått väntat länge på då den varit en bit ner på önskelistan.
Ron Cubaney Centario 21 kommer nu i en uppdaterad (snyggare än den förra) kartong. Korken på denna butelj är riktigt tjusig i träutförande och äkta kork. Flaskan i sig behöver inte heller skämmas.

Doft: Direkt efter ploppet sprider sig intensiva aromer i rummet. Vanilj och kola, härligt spännande kryddighet och och ett ordentligt täcke av ekfat fast ett mjukt, lent och elegant sådant. Nu känner jag en plötslig iver att samköra Qrm 30 som är min favorit nr 1 bredvid denna. I doft så får Qrm definitivt pisk, den känns faktiskt lite tunn i jämförelse även om den har lite citrusdrag som Cubaney saknar.

Smak: Ljuvlig sötma, gräddkola med lätta brända toner, vanilj och mandel, utpräglad smak av fat utan att det förstör det minsta. Den känns rund och söt i inträdet och har många likheter med Qrm 30. Dom 41 procenten känns precis lagomt. Svårt att utse en vinnare här men Cubaney vinner alla gånger långloppet och dansar torrt runt gomsegelet långt eftet att sista sippen har svalts.

Detta är ett köp jag inte ångrar, och den armbågar sig med lätthet in på min topp 5 lista och parkerar där för stanna ett bra tag. 💪🤘😛

Very good rhum and well balanced.

One of my favorites.

I tasted this fantastic rum at the famous Rum Bar in the beautiful Whitsunday Isles in North Queensland..
A bit higher 42% ABV really helps pep this rum up ! So sweet and spicey but in a great way.. leave in the glass for 20 mins then sip away !! Dried fruits , some toffee and maybe almonds ? Very complex and a lovely long aftertaste.. definitely one of the best sipper s I have ever tried. You have to try this at least once in your life.

I like the rum smooth, and a bit sweet, without added too much sugar. I got this bottle last summer at the Rombo store in Copenhagen. You can sit for 15 minutes, and just smell it, before the first zip. Then you get a cascade of tastes, and you can sit there, sucking on that one little zip for 5 minutes.
I will definitely take that trip to Rombo, and get another bottle, the next time I visit Denmark.

Spiced odour and taste, lil sweet with bitter aftertaste in your throat

What a surprise! Smells and tastes like a heaven. Direct comparison and price to Zacapa and cubaney is the winner!

Hard to say about this one. I had it in a plastic cup after a cigar at the Don Lucas factory in Dominican Republic. So Im nit sure I'll do it justice. Felt a lot of punsch flavors and alcohol at first, then it softened and let out some sweet caramel

Buen cuerpo, amaderado y carameloso. Delicioso. Obligacion tener en el bar. Tomar siepmpre puro y saborear con buena musica de fondo...

Very well balanced and overall pretty good. Although a bit pricey for it's only slightly better than average flavor.

Nicht zu süss, nicht zu stark - eine perfekte Balance!

Oak, sweet tobacco, spices and vanilla in the smell. Heavy flavor of toffee, sweet and with a long aftertaste

Dry rum, gentle alcohol, very minor sweetness. This one will be one of my favorite.

láhev - obal 10/10 bottle
vůně 18/20 smell
chuť 30/35 taste
jemnost 13/15 smooth
cena/výkon 16/20 much for money

po chvíli odpočinku se tato dobrota přesune od alkoholové chutě k příjemnému prožitku. není tolik sladký, ale je jemný a příjemně dřevitý. pravý rum.

It is very competent, but the bite is a bit stronger for my current taste. Slight tobacco flavor and it goes well with cigars.
