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.

Excellent agreed rum; all you need is a glass and maybe some ice. No need for a mixer.

Buen Sabor, se nota mucho el sabor a madera, seco. No muy dulce

Smooth, balanced, caramel, vanilla. Delicious.

Been drinking single malts for 20 years, thought rum was just for rum-n-coke. Not any more! A whole new world has opened up and this is currently at the top of the list.

Ve vůni sladkost, v chuti sladkost, v dochuti sladkost a krom té sladkosti i když není nepříjemná tak nic.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 2/13/22. Pours a rich amber color. Big caramel doughy aroma. Leather. Oakiness. A mild sandalwood finish.
