Anyone who likes soft, sweet Spanish-style rum to open a tasting or sip after dinner will get on with this Costa Rican column-still 12. Expect caramel, honey and a little coconut, with a vanilla roundness that tastes sweetened. Most tasters call it easy and pleasant but not memorable — one described it as "sweet and round" with a warm, slightly alcoholic finish.

How does Centenario 12 Años Gran Legado taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Mild, sweet, easy-going Spanish-style sipper Most find it mild, sweet and easy to drink, good for starting a tasting — but round to the point of forgettable, with a sweetness several read as added sugar.

Review by Maxi
After the 9 comes the 12 Centenario for tasting. Smells very similar. Vanilla, caramel, butter and pastry. Taste is quite different though. Besides vanilla and caramel, nutty and woody aromas appear as well as a slight hint of orange peel. Compared to the 9, less watered down but still relatively thin.
Review by Kasper H. Daugaard
Sweet and round. Alcoholic spikes noticable with a warm feeling going down
Review by Léo Fritz
Quite soft at the beginning (floral and sweet) with a whisky finish
Review by Onkel_Ig
On the nose, clearly less alcoholic than the 9-year-old Centenario. Nice vanilla and caramel notes, but that's about it. The mouthfeel is very thin and watery. There's a nice, subtle sweetness, otherwise caramel, dried fruits, and a slight sharpness. The finish is short and not very complex. Caramel, a bit of bitterness, and that's it. My conclusion: Honestly, I actually find the 12-year-old somewhat worse than the 9-year-old. Because the alcoholic sharpness is missing, the thin and watery overall impression stands out much more. If I had to choose, I'd buy the 9-year-old. Overall, also not a total failure, but nothing I'd say belongs on my shelf.
Review by Alan Bertoli
Simple and delicate nose of caramel, honey, and coconut. On the palate there is more sweetness, seems like a sweetness from added sugar. Always everything round and balanced without surprising, at least for me...

Very good to start a tasting
Review by MoMcGurk
I thought this one was priced right. No distinctive flavors, but not bad. Mixed and straight, about the same.
Review by Thomas Krippgans
Nice and mild.
