Abuelo Centuria

Let eftersmag af røg, eg. Godt med vanilie og brun sukker.

Very nice smooth rum with a great aroma and depth of flavour.

Interesting though that for a "limited 3000" bottling it's still widely available in the uk.

The nose is a little oaky with notes of burnt brow sugar and lovely cake cream. The palette is refined and exceptionally smooth. A swirl around the mouth open up notes of molasse, vanilla, oak and subtle spicy pepper. There's just enough sweetness to balance the rum perfectly. Very drinkable. The slightly unreasonable price tag drops this rum from 9 to 8 though.

A majestic drink, whose age tamed the youthful verve - and in my opinion the drink's weakness. Very elegant, very well arranged and thus a bit boring?

When I saw what other people pay for this bottle, I downgraded my score. This is a fantastic rum but you shouldn't pay a kings ransom for it. What a shame. I am fortunate that I visit Panama on occasion.

A very sophisticated rum astonishingly rich in flavor. It also has that distinctive wood flavour that typically comes with a well aged rum.

Con la familia hicimos una cata ciega entre Abuelo Centuria, Quorhum, 12 anos abuelo y zacapa 23 anos.
Abuelo centuria quedo de segundo, muy pegado al 12 anios abuelo (3ro)... por la diferencia de precio compraria 12 anos

Smokey oaky with some caramel and strong vanilla nose. Strong cherry like taste at start. First sip a bit aggressive then very gentle rich body with long aftertaste. Rich sweet body with cherries and balanced vanilla... some scents of smoke, caramel, grapefruit... less sweet and almost a bit bitter end...

You really have let this rum breathe in the glass for quite a while. If you let it rest for about 20-30 minutes in the glass you get more and smoother aromas. Worth waiting for.
 
On the nose you smell sweet aromas as caramel, chocolate and vanilla. You also get some oak and a little bit of smoke.
 
In the mouth you taste toffee, vanilla, orange, spice and oak. The finish is long and smooth with some spice, oak and sweet flavours.
 
This is a very good rum but it has a bit too much oak and spice for my taste.

This is a solid rum, nice nose, mouth and decent finish. Dried dark fruits, slight tobacco. Very slight hint of sweet and is what i would call a very complex rum. I expected a bit more than what i got for my money. Would i buy it again, yes, would i pay $150? Nope maybe $75 but overall it is a tasty rum.
