When I saw what other people pay for this bottle, I downgraded my score. This is a fantastic rum but you shouldn't pay a kings ransom for it. What a shame. I am fortunate that I visit Panama on occasion.

Nice heavy bottle, ok gift box for the price, good color, nice aroma, and overall a luxury experience in a Rum. Well done and a must for your bar!
Went down well. Most agreeable. And quite quaffable.

EN af de første rom fra panama jeg har smagt, den ligger for mig i den dyre ende med en pris omkring 1000 kr.
De er lidt til den søde side, men har dejlige noter af frugt, røg og vanilje.

This Abuelo Centuria is really well balanced with oak and dry fruit aromas.
Maybe a little bit too much sugar but not fulsome. The after taste is long a nice.
Good high quality sipper

Superb color, notes of vanilla , oak , caramel and spices. On the palate, vanilla is present and the oak with notes of dried fruits , almonds , walnuts. Soft and very long finish . Very nice job.

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.
