Cazanove Maison Centenaire Superieur des Antilles 1980
Opinion here runs from "beautiful discovery" to one member half-joking he nearly gagged — this old 1980 Caribbean bottling divides people. It's mostly woody: varnished wood, caramel, a touch of red wine and spice on the nose, then sweeter on the palate with vanilla, grapes and raisins. The 40% sits soft, almost too soft — several tasters wished it were bottled stronger to open up.
The community says- Ample woody nose
- Vintage character
- But: Low, soft proof

How does Cazanove Maison Centenaire Superieur des Antilles 1980 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Woody vintage agricole, soft and polarizing A polarizing old vintage: fans call it an ample, unusual find, others find the low proof flat and the wet-cardboard finish off-putting. Real character, not for everyone.

Review by Timo Groeger
Last one for today. Wie der vorherige ist dieser überwiegend holzig. Gefällt mir aber. In der Nase zudem noch leicht würzig und Rotwein ist erkennbar. Am Gaumen wird er dann eher süßlich. Leichte Karamell- und Vanille Noten sind erkennbar.
Review by Pavel Spacek
This rum is so extense aromatic agricole, that I was in doubt if I go to vomit or it is amazing non-replicable rum. I am still not decidet yet, but I kept everything in my stomach. Even if my sense of vomiting was pretty strong :)

Nez assez discret, traces d’encaustique, de bois vernis, arômes subtils avec une pointe de réglisse, alcool faible et mou et retour de carton mouillé en finale
Review by cigares
Un nez d’herbes sèches, d’ananas rôti, de fruits jaunes, de bois verni et de goudron de bateau. Une légère acidité avec des agrumes et de la réglisse lui donne de la légèreté. Une belle entrée de bouche, puis la dilution se fait sentir, ensuite les arômes remontent et regagnent en puissance. La finale est assez longue avec de l’acidité, des fruits et un léger carton humide. Une belle découverte ici avec un rhum ample. J’aurais clairement préféré 10 degrés d’alcool supplémentaires pour en révéler tout le potentiel.
