Centenario 9-Year

Not bad, there some sugar honey and wood there in nose, mahogany colour and mealy tear; straight up taste good, some bitter chocolate, old wood, the alcohol is not so strong you can keep it in your mouth, a bit spiced and memories of sweetness and kind of mealy in your tongue; it is good enough to drink with friends straight up, with Ice or mixed with something with something a bit sweet.

centenario 7 is a bit more sweet then this one in my opinion.

Tento kousek mi chyběl do kompletace ,,základní řady" rumů Centenario. Dnes jsem jej dovezl domů a jal se ochutnávat. Nejprve jsem si nalil C7 pro připomenutí vůně a chuti, kterou znám. C9 je malinko ve vůni uhlazenější, není tak dřevitý jako C7 a v ústech je malinko jemnější a je malilinko cítit nějaké ovoce.

I have tried rums from Centenario aged 7, 12, and 20 years. By far, this one has the best taste and value over all those other ones at only $24 US. Since this one is very hard to find any more, their 12 year would rank as a close second. I could have also bought their 25 year yesterday, but after a bad experience with their overly sugared 20 year, I wisely left it up on the shelf.

This one is indeed dry and it is easy to see that it has no additives. Notes of butterscotch, wood, and vanilla greet the palate, with the burn kept to a bare minimum. I must hand it to this distiller for being honest on their age statements because these are not from the solera system.

Citrus forward, this rum screams out to be made into a daiquiri with all that fresh lime jazz

Picked up in NH state store at $24.99. For the price, this Centenario is not bad. I have had other rums at higher price and they did not meet the level of this one. Nose is pleasant, Warm taste, easy finish. Comparing this to Bacardi 8 at the same price point, this one is definitely one to try. The only surprise was the twist top and slow pour bottle.

Sweet and reminds Bacardy 8. Not so sweet as plantation 5year.

This one went on sale and I'm an aged rum guy. I'm no connoisseur but I know what tastes good to me when I drink it on the rocks. The flavor was good but it's not as smooth as others in this price range. I could definitely be happy with this one but I'd rather drink Bacardi 8 at this price point.

Is this a complex great rum? No but this is a very decent tasty straightforward dram. Sweetness is just right. Doesn't seem like there is any added sugar here. Nothing objectionable here whatsoever. The flavors are good but somewhat understated. It has good mouth feel with a little butteriness. It is smooth with very little burn. It is simply a good everyday rum that I have no problem drinking neat. Better than most at this price point.

Smooth nose and taste. Thou somewhat generic flavors

Hát na.itt kezdünk ismét emelkedni, de még mindíg az 5 éves szintje alatt vagyunk, de már csak egy kicsivel
