Centenario 20-Year

I probably would have gone to a nine had this been slightly cheaper. A good sweet smooth sipping rum but not quite as good as it's same priced neighbors. That being aid, would I buy it again? If there was not another dark sweet rum in the price range....yes!
Great aromas of vanilla, caramel and a slight fruity smell, good smooth sipper. I doubt I would use this as a mixer, too good to drink any way but neat.

Beautiful color, great solera system representation very smooth in the nose and spicy / hot finish.

C'est bien fait, une belle couleur, des aromes assez complexes mais ca reste trop sucré pour mon petit palais fragile

With the 20th version, I started with the Centenario edition, and I will probably end up with it. It is one of the three most popular. I also tried the 25y version and it wants to ventilate a bit, it's more demanding. 20y just makes me more fun.

20y verzí jsem s rumy Centenario začal, a asi u ní i nakonec skončím. Je to jeden ze tří nejoblíbenějších. Zkusil jsem i 25y verzi a ta chce již trochu vyvětrat, je náročnější. 20y mě prostě víc baví. Ještě zkusím 30y, ale ta cena je už moc.

A great Ron from Costa Rica.

The nose: we can smell caramel and vanilla with a slight oakiness.

On the palate, it is smooth and even sweet.
The caramel and vanilla come back and the wood is a little more present than on the nose and light touches of coffee appear.

The finish is again on the combination of caramel and vanilla.
This is a smooth and sweet Ron, easy to drink and very fragrant. The perfect sipper!!!
I find it delicious and I recommend it.
Even if the price is a bit high in my opinion, like all those Ron Premiums.

I like sweeter rums, this one was the best so far, much sweeter than Diplomatico GR

straigth away in my top 5 of best tasted rums, together with plantation 20yr XO.
mild and smooth taste notes of caramel. pretty expensive but worth it!

Very good rum, I enjoyed drinking it, but we've had a Riise time for past few months, and I have to say that I prefer Riise more now. Centenario is less sweet with less interesting tastes - which is certainly something many people would prefer.

Nice, clean rum with vanilla and caramel notes, very fresh and balanced.

Imported from Costa Rica.

Jako základ zřejmě neslouží melasa, ale cukrová šťáva. Rum zraje v sudech po bourbonu a stařen systémem solera. Blend by měl být 6 - 20 let starý.
Jedná se o nástupce Centenario Fundacion XX s koženým obalem, který přestal být distribuován od roku 2010.

Aroma: Parfémově navoněné, sladkost, pomeranče se skořicí, lehce tabák. Uhlazené.
Chuť: Kořenitá ultra sladkost, opečené tousty
Dozvuk: Rozinky, karamel, opět pomeranče, mentolový, dobrý, dlouhý
Sladkost: 3/3
Ochutnán vzorek
Ve vůni a v dozvuku se jedná o velmi uhlazený, povedený rum, ale sladkosti v chuti bylo příliš. Po lahvi netoužím, ale jedná se o dobrý, nadprůměrný rum.
