Caney Anejo Centuria 5-Year

rhum très sucré, liqueureux, note de cannelle, assez complexe

This very inexpensive Cuban rum is quite good. For most, the only Cuban rum available is Havana Club.
You are missing a good sipping rum, bit sweet, vanilla and oak nose, smooth finish for a rhum not aged very long. Nô information on bottle, but i would say 7 years old.

Rhum très frais, très floral. Note finale très longue. A tester.

Herkomst: Cuba
Abv: 38%
Fles: 70cl
Aroma: hout, Tropisch fruit, vanille en een beetje tabak.
Smaak: hout, karamel en vanille, gewoon rum dus.

Voor deze prijs (€15) een uitstekende rum, zeer zacht en een lekkere smaak.

its a really nice rum i would say around 7 years of age but its cheaper and tastier then havana club. Difficult to find rum

Sugar: 0 to 5 gpl. I was quite surprised by the taste of this rum. The aroma is nice but not overpowering with any one smell. The taste is soft on the palate with a bit of sweetness and traces of oak and honey and perhaps a lingering bit of ginger. It can be a sipping rum or a great mixer. What impressed me is that most "Tourist Rums" have that lingering phenol taste, but this one does not. It's not available in Canada but if you are in Cuba, be sure to try it out.

Nice Cuban style rum, with dried fruity notes. It is quite dry and flavoir is rich and komplex. If you are looking for quality Cuban rum for good value take it.

The bottle of the Añejo Centuria is different to the pic here at rumratings where a 5yo label appears. The añejo centuria is about 7yo and has a black label. It is a typical cuban, not that smokey or intense as HC7, sweet for a cuban, mild and pleasant. Had to review it again after a second bottle as I recently drank different cubans from HC7 to Cubay 10 (one of my favorites) and it is in between of both.
The quality/price relation is superb for the Caney Añejo Centuria (about 12 euro here) but recently my wife saw it at Cuba in a new presentation costing 4 times what it costs here, what is definetly too much. In Cuba it comes in the same presentation as the new 10yo Caney that I have only seen in Italy so far, but the labels and colour are different. So if you can grab some of the old black bottles for about 12-15 Euro pick them as they are great value. For the great value you get I have to give it a 8 but could be a 7.5.

Als Alternative zu Havanna Club wärmsten zu empfehlen.

Cuban taste, to me it is slightly better tasting than the Havana Club 7
