Centenario 20-Year

Sur la cerise à l'eau de vie, un solera bien fait mais un rapport qualité/prix pas super. on trouvera mieux pour le mm prix.

Skvělý, slaďoučký, skvělá konzistence, chuťově paráda. Bohužel nemohu porovnat 20 přímo s 25, která do mě zahučela v minulosti velmi rychle, tak jen asi odhaduji a myslim si že 20 je možná o fous sladší (?) a zkrátka baví mě moc :) Nyní, kdy píši toto mé hodnocení, mám stanovené nejoblíbenější rumové trio: Millonario XO + 15 a tenhle vysokej dvacetiletej hubeňour!

Between 18 yr, and 25 yr, this was the least favorite.

In the name of research, I’ve gotten a little tipsy, in order get these notes together.
Color - tea tree / Tabaco brown
Smell - hard to discribe; it has a slight 5 spice smell with Toasted Demerara sugar followed by a subtle tabaco smell and some spicy back notes to close.
Taste - round, subtle flavors starting with golden toffee taste (like you get at a school fete). A warm spice soon covers all regions of the mouth including your lips to give a glow. A minute later this subsides. So you try again in order to check the exact sequence.

YUM!

A rum with a nice slightly sweet taste of what I would like to call a “traditional rum flavour”.
One of my favorites.

...as the 25 years, but almost. Honestly you cannot do anything wrong with the whole Centenario rum family!

A good addition to any rum cabinet. Not to sweet with subtle hints of flavor.

smooth , slightly alcoholic finishish
sweet, rummmy

Skvely solera rum. Vona menej vyrazna intenzitou, vyrazne sladka. Chut kopiruje vonu, rum je dost sladky, ale nie neprijemne. Ma vyraznu a hlboku rumovu chut, je velmi jemny, alkohol prijemne stipe na jazyku. Pre milovnikov sladkych rumov vyborna volba!!!

I tasted this one at Sugarcane in LV based on advice from the bartender. Color is medium amber, with caramel and cinnamon on the nose. Vanilla arrived first on the tongue, followed by coffee on the throat. I cannot buy this locally, but am looking for a mail-order source!

Sweeter and less complex than a Zacapa 23. Great nose, not to much alcohol. Taste of chocolate, creamy, vanilla. Nice sweet rum

I'm new to the rum world so take this with a grain of salt. This rum is my favorite so far. Subtly sweet, great aromas and feels silky in your mouth. Hard to sip because you don't want to put it down. I highly recommend this one.

Wow! So smooth and refined. I could drink this all night.

Sweet dark rum with a lot of aroma, maybe a little bit too sweet for some. Compares easily with rum of double the price.

I prefer sweeter ones (but not too much) and this is one of good foundings. Just a bit lower on my list from A.H.Rise NonPlus ultra. I can recommend it.

Super long avant de trouver une bouteille au canada. Un goût d épicee et de fruit. Bonne longueur en bouche et complexe. Je le suggère à tous.

Like many, we tried this in Costa Rica. We went on a search to find it in the US and were happy to find good ol' Publix Liquors carries it in Florida. It's a smooth rum and is great in a Cuba Libre. I wouldn't call it a sipping rum at all, it's more geared towards mixed drinks. Oddly, the 7 year tastes more like a sipping rum to me.

Beautiful amber color with a well balanced picy, round taste with hints of vanilla and tobacco and yet a strong presence of alcohol. Really good.

It is very sweet and smooth. Easy to drink. If you prefer sweeter rums, you can't miss this.

dalsi z mojich top rumov. vobec sa nebojim dat 10 bodov, pretoze oblubujem ovocne, sladke rumy a tento ma vsetko co od neho chcem. 10b som dal aj esperu xo ktory stoji menej ako centenario no ked si priplatite dostanete aj sladke cherry. vona ostrejsia, co ma za nasledok ze chut ostava dlho v ustach a na jazyku. ked pominie po chvilke chcete ten pocit zazit znovu a takto dookola. velmi tazke tento rum prestat pit.

Eva’s Caribbean Kitchen in Laguna Beach is a rum lovers haven and Eva is a rum encyclopedia. Over 400 I think at her restaurant and she knows each and can guide you in what to drink. I am probably a 5 of 10 in fine rum knowledge but she is a 15. After we discussed my favorites she recommends this and was spot on. Molasses and vanilla of course, with a touch of cashew or some other nut. This is the smoothest rum I have tried and not as sweet as others like Zacapa but has enough sweetness to make this my top rum.

First of all very good price, less than 40€ !
Battle very simple, they care only about what is in the bottle. Starting from the first smell coming from the glass:
- soft flover running in the nose, no alcool punch but soft plum and caramel
- density perfect, in the glass you could see the mark leave from the rhum
- forst zip in the mouth plain but interesting, very balance sweetness with a bouque of fruit like plam, nuts little accent of cinnamong but the best in coming after swallow ... amazing sense of First of all very good price, less than 40€ !

In one word... WOW !
I tested more than 40 rhum.. one of the best 5.
In one word ... WOW

Una delicia, mucha suavidad y mucho chocolate. En el paladar no quema ni un poquito. Una dulzura bien lograda.

I compare this very favourably to my go-to El Dorado 12/15. It is similarly sweet and smooth, but the sweetness and the vanilla flavour are both more subtle. Add a slightly better 'afterburn', and this could be just about the best regular sipping rum around (for me). It's a shame it isn't easier to find.
