    How does this rum taste?

    • Smooth and pleasing profile
    • Balanced sweetness
    • Pleasant aroma

    Centenario Real rum from Costa Rica is crafted at the renowned Fabrica Nacional de Licores distillery. Distilled from molasses using a column still and aged for under 30 years, this rum combines rich vanilla, sherry, and woody notes with a sweet flavor profile boosted by sugar, caramelized tones, and a hint of caramel. Its relatively low 40% ABV contributes to its smoothness but might leave some fans desiring more intensity. User reviews highlight its smoothness, balanced sweetness, and pleasant, though not overly complex, flavor. This rum is an excellent entry point for those exploring premium spirits, yet its nostalgic simplicity might not satisfy those seeking depth and intensity.

    "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."

    "Kdyby ubylo cukru a tolik se neředil alkohol, bylo by hodnocení o dost lepší."
