Beautiful, medium body, dense flavors. Terrific addition to the Centenario family.

High value, low complexity. Something for sweet girls or with sweet girls.
Not our favourite rum somehow at all but every taste is different

I like 25y and very similar 20y - both are smooth and delicious rums.

This is my favorite rum. It is nice and sweet overall but we’ll balanced. I love the flavor and the lingering after taste. It’s not a sweet and doesn’t coat my mouth as much as other sweet rums do (Diplomatico). It is pretty hard to find where I live in Chicago so when I do see it I’m always sure to stock up on a few bottles. Highly recommend.

This rum is a Solera-style blend from 6 to 20 year old rums, made in Costa Rica. When reviewing the past ratings of this rum, my expectations were high. And it met the expectations!
The rum has a deep amber to copper color. In the nose there is sugar cane, vanilla, the richness of dark caramel and the floral aromas of honey. The taste starts with a sharp touch of sweet alcohol and immediately a deep and complex flavor takes over. What an experience! Like in the nose, first some honey and then the depth of dark caramel. A long, sweet -but not too sweet-, deep aftertaste. It is so enjoyable, you would be drinking this over and over.
Smooth balanced rum, very enjoyable, top 3 best rums i have tried so far.

New to the world of rum reviews. I don't have a knowledge to formulate a descriptive thought but this one sire did taste good.

The color of this rum is a rich mahogany by way of deep dark amber. Delightful aroma revealing a sweetness to it.
Tasting it reveals it to be sweet. Very sweet. I haven't tested it scientifically but it tastes as if there has been sugar or some sweetening agent added to this rum. And that's a shame. It just seems a tad too sweet and thus I deduct a point. Otherwise this would have been a solid 8...perhaps a 9. However this does not make it a BAD rum. Just a little too sweet for my personal tastes. Take it for what it's worth. It does qualify as a sipping rum HOWEVER I would consider it one to have as an after-dinner treat. A dessert rum if you will.
NOTE: I rated the Ron Centenario 25-year a "9" and still am of the opinion that it is a great rum but the 20-year seems sweeter to me. I realize that sometimes rums will vary from batch to batch and perhaps my 20 came from a batch that was sweeter than intended.
On an aside, this might be a good rum to use in rum balls. I haven't tried it but it seems to be well suited for such a purpose.
The sweetness seems to be aimed at the American consumer. If sugar or some sweetening agent were indeed added, I wonder what it would have tasted like without it.
