Abuelo Centuria

Got this from a friend for walking his dog while he was on vacation, best rum gift ever!! Smooth rum, very enjoyable for sipping! I'm not in on all those "notes" and flavours some of you add to your review but i'd say give it a try if you can!

az összes abuelot szeretjük, eddig ez a top, de még nem életem itala

Rum byl vyrobený při příležitosti 100. výročí tradice výroby rumů rodinou Varela. Směs rumů starých až 30 let zrála (solerou) v sudech z bílého dubu.
Rum by podle hydrometru měl být doslazován 20 - 27 g/l cukru.
Aroma: Rozinky, lehce kůže, nasládlé, skoro koňakové
Chuť: Lehce kořenité (hřebíček) a mentolové, rozinky
Dozvuk: Sušené ovoce (fíky, rozinky), sladký, středně dlouhý
Sladkost: 2/3

Top Abuelo mi nepřišlo lepší než třeba 12y o Two Oaks ani nemluvě. Pohodové pití, ale lahev za tu cenu se podle mého nevyplatí.

One of the smoothest most flavorful rums I have had the pleasure of tasting. Has notes of Vanilla Chocholate and some zest. Quite a sweet rum as well. I would compare the sweetness to Plantation XO but is even more smooth. The only debate here is if it's worth double the price of plantation XO even if it's a notch above it in terms of flavour complexity and smoothness.

Expected a lot more… nice rum to drink very fruity, low spice, round

It's the most hyped Abuelo rum at RR tastong session with a nice brand presentation.

The nose is mild and not too rich, sour with humid wood and rainforest notes. One can also sense burnt wood and some raisins, vanila and grapes.

This rum is very sweet but not as sweet as other Abuelos. It is little spicy and alcoholic, woody, with some sourness and thick texture.

Doubtlessly it is the best Abuelo rum, unfortunately I learnt that Abuelo rums are just not for me. Fortunately, however, now I know I don't need a full bottle at home and that's why sample tastings are such a good idea

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.
In nose I can recognize vanilla, chocolate and coffee. In mouth and palate I recognize the same + banana, some other fruits and hints of tobacco.
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 have balanced the sweetness.
Picture: My emptied sample.

It come in a really nice case, wood/caramel color, a lot of flavors, vanilla, super smoth and sweet

Burnt sugar on the nose and a very dry bitter finish.

Goed in balans, zacht van smaak. Vanille. Maar een game changer is het niet voor mij
