This is a medium priced rum and they did pretty well. A very flavourful rum with lots of wooden notes and fruit. Not too sweet, but nicely balanced and medium complexity. Price to quality is very good.
A second sample of the Centenario 25 has been bobbing around in my cellar for 1.5 years. Now, on vacation, I "dare" to try it again and have to say that I am even more disappointed than the first time. Very flat on the nose, but then mineral notes on the palate, such as brine, and after about 5 seconds in the mouth it becomes artificial, almost perfumed. Some coffee in the finish, but nothing really interesting that could captivate me in any way. A disappointment for me and a benevolent rating of mediocre.
Now also the 25y times in the glass! Foreground honey / caramel, vanilla and roasted coffee! In addition, banana, raisin and coconut resonates from time to time. In the mouth moderately sweet and mild, continuing the nose. Chocolate and coffee are found more in the finish, making for a delicious and round experience. I don't remember the 30y being this good, which is also significantly sweeter!
Artificial stuff and sugar added for sure.
