Une douceur et une légèreté végétale subtilement confite. Le breuvage des dieux !

So it came as a gift, plus points - but despite being ok its fairly run of the mill. My rating may appear high after that but I still like it. (Not many I dont though) Not so easy to find and most responses Ive had are based on that scarcity. Its not kraken which I also like but after trying more and more Its meh! but likeable

Ebben még senki nem csalódott, pedig sok embernek ajánlottam már

For me it has lots going for it but top of the list is taste!!! Im losing my sense of smell so cant comment. the fact that its a 12 yr old at a slightly lower price point is a bonus too but imho there are lots of artificially sweetened rums which don;t come close to this and it has none added! I like the sweet ones anyway but if the product is good enough to stand alone Like this one so be it. Yet to try other Flor de Cana offerings so will do in time.

Nose: As expected, it comes in really hot. After giving it some time in the glass, more nuances are clearer: top notes of overripe saba bananas, banoffee pudding, and cherry stalks. Alongside more of the ethanol come hints of cacao nibs, dried plums, and burnt lemongrass. After bringing the ABV down to 50-55%, there's a steady yet rich parade of toffee, sesame oil, caramelized bananas, and cinnamon. There's also a refreshing sweetness coming in, alongside light-roast coffee, blueberry spread, and a kind of spice that I can't put my finger on - maybe turmeric?

Palate: Charred wood, light olive oil, and chocolate glaze edge out the muddle of flavors that follow due to the ethanol content. WIth water, the flavors are much more enjoyable. Blueberries, vanilla, still some bananas (grilled, this time), and a quiet hit of shaved coconut. The Jamaican funk is the most interesting part in its character.

Finish: Bitter oak and fades away quickly.

Príjemná kávová chuť aj vôňa.Fakt odporúčam aspoň raz vyskúšať.Nie je na to aby sme sa opili z tohto rumu (likéru)ale skôr len na ochutnávanie.
Chuť je trošku taká ťažšia,ako u likérov.Je to skôr likér, a nie rum.
S tým treba počítať.

Finom kávé íz és aroma.Ajánlom legalább egyszer kipróbálni.Persze nem arra arra van hogy berúgjunk tőle,inkább csak az íze miatt néha inni belőle egyet-egyet.Kicsit nehéz ital,mint a likőrök általában, mivel ez is inkább likőr és nem rum.Ezzel számoljunk mielőtt megvesszük.

Köszönjük a kubai barátainknak, hogy nem felejtettek el rumot csinálni.A kubai rumok amúgy is egy külön kategória,ez pedig nem hazudik

Ez egy telitalálat,csak valamiért nem kapható.vagy csak magyarországra nem ér el? Jobb mint a 12 éves testvére

Nehéz elképzelni, hogy hogyan tudták ezt az ízvilágot létrehozni hozzáadott cuccok nélkül.én az ilyen furákat nem is értem,és nem is szeretem

A "dió" rum.kötelező darab.legalább is én kötelezővé tenném minden kocsmába

Ez egy belépő az igazán finom rumok világába,ne szabad kihagyni

Szeretjük a nagypapát.panama is jó hely lehet, ha ilyeneket tudnak

Bármikor,bárhol,bármennyit.Talán a legjobb az "olcsó" kategóriában

Centenario 30 is a bit different from 25 and 20, flavour goes to another direction... much less sweetness than other two which is ok, but it is a bit simple for this price. Smell reminds me Opthimus 21 & taste is closer to Unhiq XO which is cheaper but also bit expensive for 500 ml (if you think that Quorhum 30 from same company is older and much cheaper). Some days before I had taste again (as many times) Zacapa Roayal (which is also overpriced as all drinks over 200 euro) and that was richer-bolder-rounder & sweeter with many different types of aging (bourbon, cognac, wine, cherry, smoked & toasted oak....) and all them together produce great complexity, natural sweetness and make the blend more oily, interesting complexity and intense flavours!! Something which in Centenario 30 was missing for the price (as in Unhiq XO & Milonario XO). Flavour profile is medium sweet some light spices, vanilla, slightly velvet feeling and at the end some oak of whiskey-bourbon but soft. It is balance and nice dont get me wrong but not that unique, a touch more "special" than most rums with price around 40-70 euro. You can get at half price Quorhum 30 which is great expirience, more wooden toasted casck which I like, or El Dorado 21... I dont say they are much better, are about equal and they have their problems but at least with character & much cheaper!! And I can understud some people who says that love more 20 or 25 which got more flavours... For expirience drinkers value for money rums I would suggest are El Dorado 21, Ron Cubaney 30, Quorhum 30 and maybe Melteco Selection 1987 (bit pricey but nice experience). Further from that all Centenario 30 is a nice quality rum with delicate smoothness and enjoyable (but until there).
