It looks very good on paper: 15-year-old Jamaica rum, mostly ex-Bourbon casks, high ABV, no added sugar, and a decent price. But after trying it I am overall disappointed. The basic profile of an aged Jamaica rum is present but the nose and taste remind me of aged Cachaça and Agricole. It is fresh, light, spicy, and fruity but it lacks the more heavy body that you would expect from the age statement. It was not what I expected and not what I mostly enjoy. I give it a score of 6.5.

It`s lighter and softer than Cuvee d`Ocean. Incredibly sweet taste of dry rum! It`s look like Bajan. .,.,.,. Прекрасный лёгкий сухой агриколь. Ароматный, с ощущением сладости и завершённости. Не слишком сложный. Такой хочется иметь пару бутылок в запасе!

One of me first experience with rum. For me was very fine, but I did not know, how good rum should taste.. Beginners only or if your broke and or drunk. Mixer only. There is great marketing behind, but not taste.

A friends' purchase, supposedly a 1008pcs ltd edition made for Czech market.
My first meeting with rum products from this pretty cool island.
The character is very Jamaican (funky) with PX tones so is relatively sweet even at 63% abv. I might compare this rum to awesome Smith & Cross of similar strength.
Overall about 7,5/10 for me but given the nice price tag and great characteristics (strong but full of flavor) I am gonna round it up.
Like the rum as it stands, no mixers, no drinks aside, just sip it as it is in little doses.
From my short observation this rum is generally more acceptable for broad folks than some other high abv rums (Mhoba, British dark navy rums, etc.)

I've heard that plantation makes good rum, so I decided to buy myself a bottle, big mistake. First whiff singed my nose, and the taste singed my mouth, throat and taste buds If you want a sipping rum there are many better option than this particular bottle. Diplomatico or even Havana club is much better

This Jamaican pot still rum at ABV 57% is a blend of distillates from Hampden, Worthy Park and Monymusk.
It’s aged in former bourbon barrels.
The color is deep amber with a little help from added color otherwise there’s no flavoring additives.
On the nose it’s aromatic and fruity with some funkiness.
In mouth and palate it’s like on the nose but also spicy and oily with a certain sweetness plus that I recognize bananas, citrus and hints of vanilla.
The finish goes on in the same way and it becomes very dry in the end.
Overall a well balanced full bodied Jamaican rum without being extremely heavy and overloaded with esters.
Picture: My opened bottle and a poured glass out in the Stockholm archipelago.

Not easy to determine this Rum.
Yellow colour, macadamia and lightly like vanilla taste.

I got this as part of the Rum Ratings Tasting Club kit, and it was another rum from that kit that didn't disappoint!

Smells and tastes nicely sweet with vanilla, toffee, oak, light spice, and honey.

I really enjoyed it; Spanish style rums are my favorite.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I am very new to drinking rum neat. I'm not a huge fan of the taste of the barrel first and rum second, and this hit it home for me. I did find it hits all the marks of a Spanish style rum.

Buttery cinnamon vanilla
Suggest lemon and lime wedge served neat

I like the light golden color and I use this as an added boost to my rum based drinks that are just not doing what they should. This does the trick and is reasonably priced for an over proof but should be used with care as the 75.5% abv is just as it says! 🙃😳

I bought this for my cocktails that require a clear rum in the ingredients and it just worked perfectly for me. And, unlike It's brother Q #7, it is reasonably priced. That reminds me, I gotta add this to my list to restock.

Great Aroma, Fine smooth taste that just goes down too easy. Great neat but as a mixer, sometimes I think it gets lost amongst the other added ingredients in my Favorite rum based cocktails. This is my go to and I have a hard time keeping this in my private stock as it only lasts 4 days sometimes!

This is my go to rum when I run out of my favorite ( in my reviews soon) as it mixes well and adds to but doesn't take over my rum based cocktails. Not sure it's worth the price but I will continue to keep it in stock.

Tried this for first time this week as I ran out of my favorite and this was all I had left, and I was quite disappointed and dissatisfied with the taste as a mixer for my Rum based cocktails. It kind of takes over and made my cocktails less enjoyable. I will pass on this and shelf it as a last resort.. your mileage may vary Just my $.02

Used as a mixer for Malibu sunset and Bay breeze , Bahama mama, Mojito and a few other drinks where I wanted to add some coconut flavor and the 750 ml bottle lasted 4 days for just me and I think I made one drink for my wife. Good stuff. Need to restock and bigger bottle this time. Heard this was a college kid choice for a coconut rum but works for this 60 year old grandpop😁

Most retailers in my area, sell this for 200+ euros. Managed to find myself a brand new bottle, at 115. This is from the now retired Master Blender, Allen Smith. Blend is said to contain rums from 10-30 years old and is unfortunately discontinued. I'd rather keep it sealed, but i am a drinker before a collector, alas. The smell is alluring, making you feel slightly dizzy, from the pleasure its aromas invoke. Its taste is naturally sweet, its body full, is silky, smooth and very balanced; nothing offensive, not too strong. The lingering aftertaste is barrel wood with hints of smoke. This is exactly what i have been searching for, feels totally like "old world" rum, the kind of which you can't find anywhere else! I don't know if i will try its new iteration from Trudian Branker, which is even more expensive despite being a more recent release, but this one right here, is iconic! Will try to make it last for as long as possible. Greatest sipper, so far!

I’m in Costa Rica for the first time, stopped by the local supermarket and ran across the Ron Centenario 12 for like $35.
Makes a very good mixer but when neat, it’s surprisingly smooth, and surprisingly Sweet. Not a lot of complexity but very drinkable. I’ll probably look for the 20 year in duty free for my trip home

I guess it might be good for cocktails. Not for sipping.
Plain taste, too much added sugar, all the spirit is masked by sugar.
No aftertaste detected.

My little journey into spiced\flavored rums is over.

Not similar to the other rums what i taste before.
The smell is not so good in the beginning.
I tried it pure and after with ice.
The ice made it better.
It was intresting.
