Not cheap but one of my favourites. I have no comment other than just taste and enjoy!!
This was such a well balanced rum, I was giddy. We did a blind tasting, but knew there were some pretty high end contestants. It had such a great aroma, a little pecan sweetness and then the taste.
The first sip and swirl; I knew it was magic in a bottle. Caramel, nutty, a touch of oak and finished with vanilla. If it was ice cream, I would eat the whole container.
Only problem is I can't find it anywhere!

Wow. It’s smooth, sweet and filled with notes of vanilla and cinnamon and spice. Definitely my favorite sweetened rum.
Edit: after some months, while still tasty, the lack of burn makes me believe there is a lot of sugar and other additives in this rum.
This is something I like to sip after a good meal as the pronounced flavors cut through the aftertastes of dinner.
Best consumed neat at room temperature.

More fruity variant of Centenario, less woody than 30 Special Blend, less sweet than regular 30.

I have never tasted a rum with so silky smooth finish. It is like soften your mouth for minutes. Really interesting sweet with a bit whisky finish. Fantastic! Best from Centenario, no doubt..

Balanced molasses, vanilla, oak with very light scotch whiskey burn. Good after notes. Good from first light aroma to the end of the bottle. More balanced than the 30 year old. This is my first 10 after 42 tries. It is now $190US coming in and $195US going out.

This is a Rum for me. Not too dry but not sweet either. Everything in balance. Only issue is the price and the fact that it is hard to find

To me, this is the BEST rum I've ever tasted after over 500 reviews. Absolutely extraordinary!
First of all, I'll disclose that I LOVE Ron Centenario Rums, and I've previously rated five of them a perfect '10'. But to me, this one tops them all!
Smells and tastes of caramel, molasses, oak, vanilla, with just a hint of whiskey/scotch. Not so much to be dominant, but a perfectly light amount. Nicely sweet and wonderfully smooth too! Aged 30 years according to the bottle.
Here is my personal order of preference for the Ron Centenario Rums that I've rated a '10':
1. Real (this one)
2. XX (leather case)
3. 20-Year
4. 25-Year
5. 30-Year
6. 30-Year Special Blend
All of these are exceptional to me, of course, as I scored them all a '10'.
But this is my favorite. Not cheap at around $300 USD, but I HIGHLY recommend trying it if you like Ron Centenario Rums. Or maybe even if you don't, because the light whiskey aging separates this from the other Centenarios!
