    "I think this is a very under rated rum. It's in the cheaper end yet its complexity is very convincing. A wonderful sweet, fruity and spice nose going into a complex well balanced heavy palate. The finish is long, a bit sweet and has a nice peppery sting to it. Price to quality is very good. "

    "Mwah mwah mwah, We're on a RON, and it's really not my favorite thing. It's too round, too vanilla, too buttery, there's no fruit or pep, it gets boring fast. It's well made, but not for me. On a positive note though: it leaves an impressive scent in the glass when empty, which is cool."

    "My first Centenario tasting. Even though I’m more into English rums, I found this Costa Rican fellow very tasty. Slight woody note with fruit tints well very pleasant and rounded. I can definitely recommend for daily sipping."

    "If you fancy something sweet, this one is great. Not much on the nose at first, then roasted aromas and candied fruit, with a hint of cherries. Very sweet on the palate, spicy and roasted again. Rather short finish."
