Centenario Real <30yr 40%

RX2130 Very good Column Still Rum 250€+
“Sweet, smooth, pleasant. Great for relaxed sipping.”

Centenario Real is an aged rum from Costa Rica, distilled from molasses using a column still and matured for up to 30 years. It reveals an enticing aroma of vanilla, sweet sherry, and oak. Users appreciate its smooth, sweet palate marked by caramelized sugar, dried fruit, and vanilla notes. The rum is often described as mild and pleasantly balanced, suitable for casual sipping. However, some find its flavor profile relatively flat and wish for a higher alcohol content to enhance depth. Ideal for those who enjoy sweeter, more approachable spirits, Centenario Real remains a popular choice despite its price, offering a gentle yet flavorful experience with a satisfying finish.

“This is a pretty sweet rum but the balance between the elements is pretty good. Would have liked a higher ABV because I think it would have benefitted this rum. The empty glass has really nice flavours.”

“8,3:On the nose, this rum is woody, round and roasted. We find coffee, brown sugar, that turns to caramelized and some orange peel. It is also fresh, with chlorophyll. From the roasted side, we have burnt sugar, it is slightly medicinal, there is some vanilla, chocolate and licorice, tannins, complex. The wood is toasted with coconut. Aeration gets the molasses and caramelized wood even more more toasted, becomes spicy, there are nuts, vanilla, caramel. It is fresh and juicy, perfumed, after a while dried fruits join in. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is soft, thick, gourmand and quite sweet with woody character, vanilla, caramel, nuts and a bit spicy with sweet spices, some orange peel, coffee, coconut note and a slight hint of dried fruits. Here is also a bit perfumed, round and balanced. 8:The finish is sweet, with caramelized nuts, toasted coconut, woody and some tannins...”

“It's interesting how the taste changes over time. I would probably have liked this rum in the past. It's quite mild and sweet. But unfortunately also a bit flat. A good entry-level rum, for far too high a price.”
