Centenario 12-Year

It was the end of the bottle when tasted and was only able to pour 2cl. The bottle was opened for quite some time so very difficult to assess the real potential.

Vanilla and powerful black pepper notes stood out though

prekvapeni co se nekonalo. z rady ron centenario doporucuji 9 letou variantu. vzhledem k pomeru cena/ chut/ kvalita. u 9lete varianty bohatsi chut, slabsi alkoholova chut.

Ron Centenario rums come in a variety of ages and I inadvertently started high with the 25-year and seem to be working my way backwards. I just reviewed the 20-year and gave it a "7". Maybe my bottle was a fluke but frankly I think the 12 is a tad bit better than the 20. This rum isn't as deep of a color as the 20-year but it is only a shade or two lighter. The aroma is marvelous. I like the flavor. Definitely has the sweetness albeit not as drastic as my bottle of Ron Centenario 20-year but also more of an oak bite to it. Flavors of vanilla and butterscotch coat the tongue then rather than a burn, my throat is warmed up quite nicely. The oak stays with you for the finish with a buttery coating on the tongue. Definitely a good sipping rum. Makes for an excellent mixer as well. I contend this is a very versatile rum worthy of being added to one's liquor cabinet. Recommended.

I really love the Centenario 20, 25, and 30, but I didn't have high of hopes for this, due to the low price of only $28.99 (Beltramo's 2015). However, I was pleasantly surprised. While this isn't as good as the above, it's still my kind of rum.

Has a wonderful sweet caramel and brown sugar smell/taste, that is relatively simple, but extremely good to me! A tad harsh compared to the others I mentioned, but a great taste and a nice surprise for my 90th review!

The Ron Centario 12 Years is light and sweet but at the same time has a very noticeable ethanol flavor.

Maybe I got the wrong version or something, but the smell is very similar to window cleaner. The taste is slightly better, so it is possible to finish the bottle. But not worth to be bought again.

Ze začátku mě moc neoslovil, ale po nějaké době a vypití více skleniček mi začal chutnat a porovnávám podle něho rumy ostatní, ty ne moc sladké. Je to taková vyvážená chuť jemně po karamelu a nějaké ovoce. Kdo koupí neprohloupí.

This is a smooth rum great for sipping on the rocks

Belles notes vanillées pour les amateur de rhum type angostura 1919.

Un peu agressif au nez, ce ron Centenario 12 anejo est bien plus doux en bouche, avec des note de vanille et caramel.

Longueur en bouche moyenne.

I understand others don't rate it as highly. However, I fully disagree. I find it to be quite smooth as a sipping rum, with very complex and pleasing flavors that are so absent in lesser rums. In fact, I'd say this is my perfect sipping rum. It's not harsh, it remains smooth when held in the mouth and has a gentle afterburn. Perfect straight up in a small glass. I'd rate it in the low 90's.
