Aroma visualization from community tastings
Centenario Real
Anyone who likes their rum soft, mild and sweet will feel right at home here. Think caramelized sugar, vanilla, toasted wood and a little dried plum and orange peel, in a round, easy-drinking body. One taster called it like eating a nougat candy you could sip all evening. Balanced and pleasant, though several note it's mild to the point of flat.
The community says- Round and balanced
- Caramel and vanilla
- But: Feels mild

Review by LukaŽiga
8,3:On the nose, this rum is woody, round and roasted. We find coffee, brown sugar, that turns to caramelized and some orange peel. It is also fresh, with chlorophyll. From the roasted side, we have burnt sugar, it is slightly medicinal, there is some vanilla, chocolate and licorice, tannins, complex. The wood is toasted with coconut. Aeration gets the molasses and caramelized wood even more more toasted, becomes spicy, there are nuts, vanilla, caramel. It is fresh and juicy, perfumed, after a while dried fruits join in. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is soft, thick, gourmand and quite sweet with woody character, vanilla, caramel, nuts and a bit spicy with sweet spices, some orange peel, coffee, coconut note and a slight hint of dried fruits. Here is also a bit perfumed, round and balanced. 8:The finish is sweet, with caramelized nuts, toasted coconut, woody and some tannins...

Kdyby ubylo cukru a tolik se neředil alkohol, bylo by hodnocení o dost lepší.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è delicato con dolcezza caramellosa, zucchero bruciato, qualche frutto secco e leggero legno lontano. Al palato è soffice, un po' corposo ed estremamente rotondo con dolcezza, frutti secchi, cacao e vaniglia. Il finale è delicato e breve con qualcosa di floreale, ma senza alcuna profondità. È comunque una bevuta molto piacevole

It's interesting how the taste changes over time. I would probably have liked this rum in the past. It's quite mild and sweet. But unfortunately also a bit flat. A good entry-level rum, for far too high a price.

Neskutočne jemné. Žiaľ nič výrazne
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a pretty sweet rum but the balance between the elements is pretty good. Would have liked a higher ABV because I think it would have benefitted this rum. The empty glass has really nice flavours.
Review by Michael Janek
vůně jemná nijak výrazná, medová slaba vanilka chuť velmi vyvážená, moc prijemna, ale nic, co by prekvapilo je to fakt dobrý, jako nugatovy bombonek, to vydržím pit celý vecer
