I have tasted 15 or so $100 dollar rums, and this is one of my top 3. Smooth, flavorful, no kick on the back end.

Attended a rum festival in Amsterdam which gave me the opportunity to try this rum. It tasted great but I am not sure if the difference in price compared to the 20 year is worth it. Maybe i drank to much so my taste was disturbed but for now I stick to the 20 year.

In my experience there are sweet rum lovers and more raw rum lovers. I'm the latter, thus my rating, but if you are to sweeter notes you should definitely give this and any of the centenario vintages a go.

Ron equilibrado, no esperaba que un ron de Costa Rica estuviera tan bueno, ron dulce excelente para tomarlo solo. Sin duda está en mi top ten!

Rich full flavour. Notes of fruit, vanilla, caramel and other. Really soft on tongue. Aftertaste stays mild. My first choice.

One of the best rums i've ever tried. Long smooth aftertaste, not to sweet, very pleasant to sip.

Dejlig. Smagfuld. Mange noter og varme som virkeligt slipper fri i munden
I bought this while passing thru Panama last year and was totally awestruck by it's smoothness, a little heavier and sweet for some but if you like a full bold flavour with incredible smoothness by this. The rep at the store tried to get me to buy the 30 year old but I didn't, have kicked myself ever since and have not seen either anywhere here in Canada. This is #1 in my collection.

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.
