Smells sweet like Ron Zacapa Solera 23 but only has half of the familiar taste from that rum. The dried fruit and raisiny flavors are the same but the finish is totally different and has a noticeable dryer tobacco/leather/scotch flavor. I had to sip it a few times b4 I could figure it out when I suddenly yelled out loud "Scotch"!
Overall it honestly tastes like a mix of sweetened rum and scotch. If you like both spirits then you may just love this. 6/10 because it doesn't taste like rum but is unique. Update: I've just tried Appleton 12 year rare blend and it has some similar flavor to this, apparently this scotch-y taste can be found in other rums as well. Update 2: obviously upon writing this review I was unfamiliar with funky Jamaica/Guyana style rums that give the flavor of what I thought then to be reminiscent of scotch. I only knew that this tastes like Zacapa but different on the finish. I remember it being quite sugared tho and will have to revisit at some point and might actually like it this time now that my palette has had more experience.

Gut ausbalancierter Ron mit Charakter
In der Nase angenehme Holznoten mit einer fruchtigen Frische.
Im Gaumen sehr elegant und geschmeidig, Vanille, Karamell, getrocknete süsse Früchte...
Im Abgang schwingt eine dezente Schwere mit.

Well balanced Ron with character.
In the nose pleasant wood notes with a fruity freshness.
On the palate very elegant and supple, vanilla, caramel, dried sweet fruits ...
There is a subtle weight in the finish.

Une valeur sûre à déguster ou même en sacrilège avec du coca.

This was my first premium rum I tried and it set the bar pretty high. Poured over an ice cube, the flavors of vanilla and caramel pop. I'm eager to try other premium rums to compare.

Con la familia hicimos una cata ciega entre Abuelo Centuria, Quorhum, 12 anos abuelo y zacapa 23 anos.
Abuelo 12 quedo de tercero, bien pegado al centuria (segundo)... pero la verdad que muy cercanos los dos... pero la diferencia de precio es abismal.

I usually drink rum without icecubes but this one I do. It takes the edge of the sharpness and goes down gently. After the mild burn you will taste the oak flavour very nicely. It is not so syrupie (sorry dont know if it is correct english) and thick....

This rum smell better than it taste. Cetainly the alcohol will burn your nose a little bit but not too much. Once you sip it , it is quite smooth but too much caramel/wood oriented. Of course, this is my personal point of view.
However , I like sweet rum but this one is too sweet.

En lidt stærk alkohol duft efterfulgt af af noter af farin. Blød smag med karamel og brændt sukker. Lang eftersmag
