I picked this one up yesterday for $40. Since my bottles of 12 year old solera and 7 year old solera have been long gone, I had to judge this one based upon memory only, along with my reviews for those two.

When I got it home, the aromas from an ounce of it in a snifter reminded me of El Dorado 12. Wow! Was I about to find another rum that could rival ED12? Upon tasting it, all such fantasies went out the window. All I could taste was pepper and extreme sweetness, with a slightly bitter after taste. If I wanted pepper, I would stick with some of those peppery tequilas. Then after reading fellow reviews, I found out that this one is a sugar bomb. Looks like I have to put some of my bland dry rums to use into toning down the sweetness on this one.

This one is NOT a good buy and I wound up initially rating it as a 7.2 in my spreadsheet. I am so glad that I waited so long to finally try this one because if I had started out with this one, I may have rated it as a 9 or 10. Comparing to my true 9 and 10 ratings, there is no way for this one!

A few days later, I tried it on the rocks. Not even ice cubes made from Ozarka spring water could help it. Then I tried it it in a Cuba Libre, which only fared as average. I then had thoughts about pouring the remainder of the bottle down the toilet, but luckily I had orange juice in the fridge to save it. OJ mixed 50/50 with this rum is the only way to save this stuff. They really goofed with the added sugars on this batch. My rating went down to a 6. I will stick with their 12 year solera.

Už vôňa prezradí že ide o sladký rum. Cítil som v ňom ovocie, med, čokoládu a jemne aj orechy. V chuti sa k tomu ešte pridá karamel. Sladký ale pritom aj trochu štipne. Odporúčam!!!

En rigtig god og blid rom til den søde side, uden at være prangende på nogen måde.

Rum is very sweet, but not annoying. Good feeling alcohol on tongue, very pleasant. Also sweet smell. Very good choise for sipping when you want something more sweet.

Very smooth and sweet while dark and heavy. Round bouquet but sharp on the tongue. Full of taste, definitely not a mixer. Good but doesn't entirely hit my taste.

Super rumík. Mírně sladší profil v kterém cítím jahody, třešně, jablka, broskve s ostřejším dojezdem. To kvůli sudu z bílého dubu ve kterém byla whiskey. Rád vyzkouším další kousky od Centenario. Seženete ho do 800,- .

By comparing this to all the rums I have taste that costs ~50 Euros is by far the best one.

Čím starší tím je centenario tím je sladší a uhlazenější v chuti se mi zdá. Celkem výrazná vanilka.

I can see why this rum is liked by many. It is sweet and smooth, requires minimal effort really.
I had high hopes, as this is in the higher end of what I am willing to spend on a rum. Accordingly, I was let down quite a bit when I found that this is a sugary, smooth, almost viscose rum liqueur.
Taste is - to me - mostly that of Spanish brandy. Sweet, dried fruits, a hint of almond, very smooth presentation. Which is fine, but I can have a better experience with a Spanish brandy half the price (Osborne Magno for example).
Too sweet, too smooth, nothing interesting. Useful for sweetening other rums, but I rarely do that. Stupid waste of money for me. But thus I learn...
Would like to taste what it would be like without all the added sugar.
