Abuelo Centuria

Let eftersmag af røg, eg. Godt med vanilie og brun sukker.

After months of looking for it, I finally got a bottle of the Centuria. The color is dark brown. long lasting legs on glass. Aroma reminds me of vanilla and caramel. Somewhat sweet but not over the top. Very long finish. If it wasn't so difficult to find (and expensive), this could be the best sipping rum ever.

Ce rhum est étonnant.
Le nez n’est pas très marqué mais il annonce que l’on a à faire à de la douceur. Même impression que son petit frère Abuelo 12 ans : à l’attaque il semble très léger et très doux, sans aucune sensation d’alcool. A la première gorgée, il réchauffe brutalement la gorge qui n’a pas été préparée, d’où cette sensation tonique surprenante. Il a un bon gout de cake aux fruits confits. Mais au final le caramel prédomine, et emmène les épices et la vanille.
Ce bon rhum est vraiment trop cher et cet excès de sucre lui retire tout espoir d’atteindre mon podium. Préférez le 12 ans qui coute le tiers de son prix.

i recently discovered the Ron Abuelo brand, and had my local liquor vendor order the Centuria. Velvety, opulent mouth feel, lingering flavors of caramels, tropical spice...simply one of the finest liquids i have ever had the privilege to consume!

A premium rum! Well balanced, smooth, sweet tasty rum. Virtually no after burn with a nice meidum to long finish. I suggest that you drink this alone or with very special friends who appreciate fine rum. Whilst doing this take some time to appreciate what you are drinking and saviour the moment. Must add that the presentation box is very nice too

This is a very Smooth rum . If you have not had spend the money well worth it

Sugar: 26-30 gpl. Smooth, rich with all kinds of flavour and an overall feeling of luxury. Oak, caramel, vanilla, smoke, spices, a hint of sherry. Really well balanced rum. It's expensive but go ahead treat yourself to some luxurious rum. As one rum aficionado so aptly said, "when you drink this rum, you know your ship has come in".

The nose is a little oaky with notes of burnt brow sugar and lovely cake cream. The palette is refined and exceptionally smooth. A swirl around the mouth open up notes of molasse, vanilla, oak and subtle spicy pepper. There's just enough sweetness to balance the rum perfectly. Very drinkable. The slightly unreasonable price tag drops this rum from 9 to 8 though.

I'll say as I did the "Opthimus 18-Year Rum":
"A smooth and delightful rum, with a little alcohol bite, so it needs to get some air in the glass before drinking. The smell/taste/aftertaste is so nice, that you will have to lock the bottle away, or you will find yourself drinking it everyday."

But that's a good thing :)
