Abuelo Centuria <30yr 40%

“Smooth vanilla and oak, but quite sweet.”

Abuelo Centuria is a Panamanian rum distilled at Varela Hermanos from molasses, using a column still and aged up to 30 years. This rum is renowned for its rich notes of vanilla, smoky oak, and caramel, crafted through the solera method. Consumers appreciate its smoothness and complexity, marked by a medium-length finish that includes vanilla and sweet, smoky undertones. While it has received praise for its aroma and flavor, some users found it too sweet and expected more depth given the price point. Its dark brown color hints at a mature, eloquent rum that excels as a contemplative sipper with subtle fruit notes.

“Got this sample in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. It’s produced from molasses in a multi column still whereafter it’s aged in Jack Daniel’s barrels using the Solera method. The oldest drops is said to be 30yo. Overall it’s very smooth but a little too sweet for me (hydrometer tests I’ve read indicates 27gpl of sugar), I should probably liked it even more with a little higher ABV which should balance the sweetness.”

“This is a blend of rums of up to 30 years of age and a very good one I may add. The winner of the 2011 Best Rum at the Golden Rum Barrel Awards. I just enjoyed this one again and it's never a disappointment. Very full bodied rum with a beautiful nose and complex palate. The finish is long, warm, spicy with smoke and just keeps on giving. ”
