Ron Centenario rums come in a variety of ages and I inadvertently started high with the 25-year and seem to be working my way backwards. I just reviewed the 20-year and gave it a "7". Maybe my bottle was a fluke but frankly I think the 12 is a tad bit better than the 20. This rum isn't as deep of a color as the 20-year but it is only a shade or two lighter. The aroma is marvelous. I like the flavor. Definitely has the sweetness albeit not as drastic as my bottle of Ron Centenario 20-year but also more of an oak bite to it. Flavors of vanilla and butterscotch coat the tongue then rather than a burn, my throat is warmed up quite nicely. The oak stays with you for the finish with a buttery coating on the tongue. Definitely a good sipping rum. Makes for an excellent mixer as well. I contend this is a very versatile rum worthy of being added to one's liquor cabinet. Recommended.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 6/4/23. Pours a dark gold color. Caramel toffee aroma. Big marshmallow and butterscotch flavors. Very smooth. Vanilla. Cardemom and a slight coriander finish.

Tasted at Laka Lono Sunday, June 4 2023. 2/3 of Steph Centenario flight
Color: true amber
Aroma: fruity, caramel agedness
Flavor: not as sweet as the 7. Flavor continues on quite a while, I'd prefer this in a tiki drink or as a sipper in the winter by the fire with melted cheese. May be an essence of cloves.
If this was consumed in a stadium cup on ice, it would be with Dr Pepper

Great Tico product! Oak, vanilla, caramel, and velvety on the palate. Definitely recommend at this price point.

A smooth and fruity everyday drinking rum/sipping rum. Very light on the palate with a bit of sweet and tart fruit that finishes sweet and dry. I think it’s worth having a bottle on hand to crack open for literally any occasion.

This is a great rum for pineapple drinks. I love all the Ron Centenaro products.

vzorek z rumového kalendáře, očekával jsem víc - ve vůni ani chuti mě nic nezaujalo. dojezd byl krátký a cítil jsem něco mírně hořkého
nevím, jestli to bylo vzorkem, protože podle jiných recenzí by to měl být dobrý rum. Já se k němu ale vracet neplánuji.

It is a good dry rum with enough complex flavors to warrant sipping. However, since there are better rums for less money.

Much simpler and more rustic than the 20-year sibling. Overall, however, with a pleasing wood note. Not a high standard but also not a bad rum.

I’m in Costa Rica for the first time, stopped by the local supermarket and ran across the Ron Centenario 12 for like $35.
Makes a very good mixer but when neat, it’s surprisingly smooth, and surprisingly Sweet. Not a lot of complexity but very drinkable. I’ll probably look for the 20 year in duty free for my trip home
