Abuelo Centuria

Got this from a friend for walking his dog while he was on vacation, best rum gift ever!! Smooth rum, very enjoyable for sipping! I'm not in on all those "notes" and flavours some of you add to your review but i'd say give it a try if you can!

az összes abuelot szeretjük, eddig ez a top, de még nem életem itala

One of the smoothest most flavorful rums I have had the pleasure of tasting. Has notes of Vanilla Chocholate and some zest. Quite a sweet rum as well. I would compare the sweetness to Plantation XO but is even more smooth. The only debate here is if it's worth double the price of plantation XO even if it's a notch above it in terms of flavour complexity and smoothness.

It's the most hyped Abuelo rum at RR tastong session with a nice brand presentation.

The nose is mild and not too rich, sour with humid wood and rainforest notes. One can also sense burnt wood and some raisins, vanila and grapes.

This rum is very sweet but not as sweet as other Abuelos. It is little spicy and alcoholic, woody, with some sourness and thick texture.

Doubtlessly it is the best Abuelo rum, unfortunately I learnt that Abuelo rums are just not for me. Fortunately, however, now I know I don't need a full bottle at home and that's why sample tastings are such a good idea

Absolute great sipper.

Nose - Thick oak, sherry, leather, vanilla
Palate - Spice, vanilla, molasses, coffee

Mild lingering after taste with accompanying burn keeps this from being a ten.

Sweet and leaves a nice taste. Goes down with a nice note. Definitely add to your collection. Good Sipper neat or with a few drops of water to open up

Tons of brown sugar and molasses, both nose and taste. Medium spice with slightly oily finish with a long tail. Nutty, deep and dark, makes me think of a cigar bar in Panama. Not overly complex, guessing the weekend rum drinker will absolutely love it while the ‘pros’ will be bored. I could see stocking it as a great rum for guests, but I personally wouldn’t sip that often - just a little too sweet and not that interesting.

molasses. sweet.
i smell vanilla, milkchocolate, fruity tunes.
i taste fruit, full and dense on the tongue, creamy. oak, pepper, only some. chocolate.
5/10 - add 5 points if you like it sweet.

in compare to the 12 this rum is muuuch more filigree. full of aroma, but with a light body. much more complex, as his cheaper brother.

Was expecting a lot more for $125. Sat on the shelf for for over a year waiting for that great afternoon to have it with a fine cigar. Unfortunately I was sadly disappointed due to its whisky-esque nose and profile (I do not like nor drink whiskey). What I've discovered after sampling many rums (too many according to my wife) is that I love rums that have a molasses base and relegate cane juice based rums, like Ron Abuelo, as mixers.

It's not that it is a bad rum, I just shouldn't have added it to my collection with it being a cane juice based rum. Need to start doing my research before adding expensive bottles to the collection.

Just bought this excellent Rum and i have to order one more.
What an enormous experience of flavours
