Rich and delicious, a touch earthy, oaky, hints on caramel and a remarkable long spicy finish. Yummm
So far probably my favorite. Just starting my collection of age rums and this one was quite enjoyable, got better with sipping, I think taking some coolness from the 50 degree night. Very smooth, good burn initially but this turn all into silky smoothness by the end. Paired extremely nicely with my RYJ churchill, bringing out the woodiness in both. This will be a mainstay in my collection.

eigentlich konnte ich bei Abuelo bisher nix finden was mir schmeckt,aber dieser Rum ist Weltklasse,wer den Millionario oder alte Zacapas gerne mag liegt hier richtig,angenehme Süsse,würzig,wunderbarer Abgang,volle Aromenexplosion,sehr einzigartig im Geschmack.Allerdings nicht ganz billig mit 130-140 Euro
This is heaven. So smooth and full of sweet oakiness. A bit oakier than others but that's what I love. Has great sweetness and orange flavor at end. Must try!!!

Sehr ausgewogener Tropfen. Preis ist an der oberen Grenze.

Smagte den i en butik og fik ikke den der fornemmelse af at det bare er et "must buy": Vil nu nok købe den en dag den ender på tilbud, for vil faktisk gerne lige sidde hjemme i stuen og prøve den igen.
Det har jeg så gjort et par gange og har i den grad ændret mening. Det er en klar 10er
This is a great Rum. A bit expensive but we'll worth it!

I tasted this after finishing the 12y old version (wich is one of my favorit rums) and it's even better. I tasted it at a rhumfest and after 20 top rated rums it finished in the top 3, but the price difference with the 12y 35€ vs 180€ just is to big for just a small jump in taste. Save yourself some bucks and get the 12y old.

Well, now it the best rum i have a drank. Fabulous finish, great colour in snifter and full body taste. It's a true old rum, very mineral, I waiting 1hour to spread the flavour in air. Somewhat is a little bit sweet but not over the top.

Such an elegant rum, one of the only rums that can give zacapa a run for its money. Was a bit hard to find but well worth it. Not too sweet it is perfectly balanced and just the right amount of strength.

Disappointing for the amount paid

I read a lot of hype on this rum online as well as the ratings here.
I decided to spend the $125 making this the most expensive rum I've purchased thus far.
With all the hype and for the asking price I expected a high standard.
I was disappointed.
I wish to make it clear...this is not...I repeat NOT a bad rum whatsoever.
It's just not a rum worthy of a $125 price tag. $40-$50 USD would be much more reasonable.
Although it has a pleasant aroma and looks great in the snifter with a deep mahogany color, the flavor is...well...lacking.
Surprising it's not nearly as smooth as I expected. In fact it's rather harsh. This is an expensive mixing rum in my opinion, not a sipper.
One source says only 200 cases of this rum were imported into the United States...another source says only 3000 bottles were produced.
However the ready availability of this rum makes me wonder if the bottle I have is a "second generation" Centuria. I read several reviews on this rum and what I am tasting in my bottle does not even come close to resembling what is described in this reviews. Makes me wonder....
As I said, it's not a bad rum...it hits you with a initial mixture of sweetness and vanilla which receives a peppery kick. A nice strong warmth hits the throat leaving a toffee/vanilla finish. But it has an strong oak bitterness about it that reminds me more of a younger, maybe 3-yr, rum rather than one that is a blend of older rums. What gives? I just cannot give what I am trying more than a 7.
