IMO, this is a great rum. Yes, it's a solera type, and it has a big 30 on the label. But the characteristics are very good, 40% ABV, smooth, and sweet, but it's not as complex as it could be. I get little mint notes with the sweetness and light tobacco on the back end of the palate. Some candy, like licorice and pineapple, closes the taste. The finish is short-lived.. what should we expect at 40% ABV. I prefer something like El Dorado 21 or Appleton Estate 21, which I think are more complex and deep than this one. Overall very good.

An aged rum by Centenario Internacional S. A. in Costa Rica aged for a minimum of 30 years. It has an aromatic birth with notes of ripe fruit, spices, caramel, pecan pralines & roasted nuts; while an oaky life adds notes of orange zest, pineapple, vanilla & caramel; that led to a complex & smooth death with notes of rose, vanilla & brown sugar.

Nice bottle with a dark amber content. Uncorked, you get strong smells of caramel and the first taste doesn’t disappoint. Flavors are very sweet with caramel and vanilla undertones. The sip goes down smooth with very little bite of alcohol. I would have rated this higher but the initial sweetness was a little too harsh for me.
Aroma de ameixa preta e côco queimado. Dulçor moderado. Sabor de açúcar mascavo, baunilha, maple e muito côco.
Citrus notes, almost a hint of tobacco and very gentle. Sweet notes and very enjoyable. Worth the money
Came from a barrel 35 years. @four seasons Costa Rica. Extremely smooth, sweet, maple, vanilla, oak.
