Tastes alongside ED 21. Aroma is super deep and complex, more so than the El Dorado to start with. Taste is strong brown sugar and complex. This is absolutely delicious and the first go-around we both liked it better than Dorado 21. On last pass, I thought Dorado was slightly more deep and complex, with this one being more brown sugar forward and not quite as complex. Either way, let’s call it a tie. But this bottle goes for $60 instead of $100 like Dorado. 95+

Skvělej rum, za mě podobná liga jako Zacapa 23, takže v pořádku.

Very sweet. Smooth. Do not mix. Not sure it’s a ton better than the 20 yr.

Hard to find in some regions, but I've been gifted this one twice and it's quite good. Has a great balance of sweetness and kick. Extremely smooth. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny.

Nice aroma full, warm big smooth and complex taste with many layers. Long aftertaste. Alomst 10 points, but I need have some space for Centenario 30y 😀

Rich and awesome flavour profile!! Sweet, smooth & balance. Taste: exotic fruits maybe, caramel, cinnamon, vanilla, buttery-smooth, mild whiskey oak & medium-long aftertaste. Bit sweet (this is my limit) but must have for every sweet rum lover...

It's my first review on this community, it's definitely one of the best Ron I've ever drink, I'm not a sweet fan, but this one is very nice, a bit of Vanilla.

Very smooth. Low burn. Molasses and banana. Got it in NYC for $75! My new favourite.

There are often times a lot of dispute about rum lovers, when it comes to solera rum. Something everyone can agree on is, that we all love a good tasting rum. This is one of those.
Nose: Caramel, wood and a hint of tropical fruit
Taste: Vanilla, oak, citrus and a small hint of warm and sweet bananas in the long aftertaste
Overall: Maybe one of the best solera rums, that I have come across. The taste from the cask is clearly present, which makes this a smooth and lovely rum from start to (long) finish.

Smooth and flavorful with no harsh burn or heat allowing you to enjoy what the master has created for you. A bit on the sweet side affording this the accolade of being a nice dessert rum. Christmas cake, baking spice, vanilla and some oakiness shine through creating a pleasing rum presentation.
One of the more expensive rums however, having said this, it is a 25 year old!
Enjoy this one neat...

Not very impressed. Think twice if you prefer dry or pungent rums. You'll like this if your in the El Dorado camp. For the price I would have liked the ABV to at least be 42%. Bottled at 40% with this amount of sweetness is not for me and it's obviously catered to an audience that prefers smooth over interesting. There is some depth here but I just keep getting distracted by sugar and cola always rushes to mind.
Being a solera system the '25' years can be a bit deceiving, sure there is rum at the bottom of the stack thats been around for 25 years but it's always mingling with spirits trickling down from the top. I'm okay with this method but it always seems to produce overly sweet end results. Thinking of Papas Pilar and a triple cream sherry that uses the pyramid. And I'm not certain that sugar hasn't been added as well. Given the sweetness I can only assume it has and if it hasn't then it's a bit of an achievement how Centenario got to this point of cloy unadulterated.
There are far far better rums at this price. Especially if you like distillers such as Foursquare or Richland. Wish I could return the Centenario and get one of those. Looks like I need to work on my time machine.
