How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its smooth, chocolate‑vanilla sweetness and mild spice. Critics find it thin and lacking character, especially versus older Centenario bottlings. Overall seen as okay but unexciting for the price.
If you enjoy soft, dessert-friendly rums and already like Centenario’s style, this is a comfortable, slightly less sweet option—just don’t expect much depth or evolution in the glass.
Explorers wanting complexity, intensity or strong character; anyone looking for a dry, high-ABV or particularly nuanced sipping rum.

Der nächste Rum aus der preislichen Mittelklasse. Schmeckt ganz ok, leicht nach Schokolade und Karamell wie ich finde. Kann man pur einigermaßen genießen, gibt aber natürlich viel, viele bessere als diesen :)
A typical centenario in taste. Blindly guessed the 20 because of the unmistakable typical centenario taste, but less sweet than that one
Der gefühlt ungesüßte Centenario, Nase mit Vanille und Würze, aber wenig, Zunge dann schon sehr würzig und fehlender Zucker gegenüber dem 20er und 25er. Wenn man das mag, ist er aus dieser Reihe echt empfehlenswert.
Not enchanted by this Ron. Neither good nor bad, it leaves me indifferent. Few flavors emerge except caramel... Woody finish, rather poor. Best served with something sweet.
