Centenario Fundación 25 Años Gran Reserva

Schoko Kaffee mild vollmundig

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.

A truly amazing rum at a great price. It’s a very smooth drink with nice sweet and complex notes on the nose. Starting from the top and working towards it with the nose presents the sweeter notes then brings in the more nuanced ones such as the woody scent from the barrels. First sip is a bit strong but after letting it breathe a bit yields a flavor palate that’s a bit smoother and sweeter.

Artificial stuff and sugar added for sure.

Top Rum, den Aufpreis jedoch eher nicht wert. Sehr ähnlich zum Centenario 20, jedoch etwas kräftiger und schärfer, dennoch noch sehr sehr mild. Wem das gefällt wird ihn höher einstufen, meiner Meinung nach aber nicht besser wie der 20er.

Very nice drop but too sweet for me personally

Ma référence solera, je ne m en lasse pas

Sweet but not too sweet. Caramel, fruit and wood. Medium complexity, pleasant on the palate.

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!

One of the five retirement rums from my buddy. A strong oak flavor with just a little bit of the scotch barrel. Much better straight, then mixed.

A rum with great class for special enjoyment. However, the Centenario Fundacion 20 almost flatters more at a much lower price.

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.

Better the 20.

Den Geruch habe ich als frisch empfunden, mit einer alkoholischen Note. Er läuft schön am Glas herunter. Geschmacklich finde ich ihn süß, nicht zu süß, mild und holzig. Zusammengefasst war er gut aber nicht überragend.

Excellent rhum.
