Vanilla, caramel and a whiff of molasses on the nose — pleasant enough, and then the palate thins out. At 40% it drinks light, a little sweet, with faint oak and pepper before a short, slightly bitey finish. Most members find the aroma the best part and the body underwhelming. It's the entry rung of the Centenario range, and it tastes like it.

How does Centenario 9 Años Conmemorativo Reserva taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet nose, thin and short on the palate Solid nose, thin palate — that's the recurring verdict. Several find it watery and short, a minority enjoy the easy sweetness. Fine as a mixer, less convincing neat.

Review by Maxi
Private tasting of 5 different Centenario's (9, 12, 20, 25 and 30). The 9-year-old is very pleasant on the nose with notes of vanilla, caramel, pastry, and butter. Unfortunately, the palate is much more one-dimensional. Sweet with light vanilla notes. Otherwise very thin and watered down. The finish is also very short. By far the weakest Centenario of the evening.
Review by JonasRum
Very thin, flat and alcoholic. Consistently caramel both on the nose and on the palate. Very slight pepper. The finish is short and biting. As a conclusion, I would say that it is too thin and alcoholic, and I would have no use for this rum.
Review by Onkel_Ig
Small sample tasting. The 9-year-old Centenario doesn’t really blow me away. On the nose, there’s a dominant alcoholic sharpness, followed by classic caramel and vanilla notes – that’s about it 🤷🏻♂️ On the palate, the same alcoholic sharpness comes first, then a bit of caramel, dried fruits, and a subtle bitterness. The mouthfeel is rather thin. If you let the rum breathe a bit, a nice vanilla note joins in. The finish is actually quite long but stays not very complex – caramel, alcoholic sharpness, bitter. My conclusion: Not a total failure and totally okay for the price. But don’t expect a big revelation.
Review by Lloyd McBride
Sipped this one and tried it with Coke as per my usual routine. Struggled with it if I’m honest but will give it some time and try it a few different ways.
Review by MoMcGurk
A little molasses and cotton candy in the aroma. The flavor surprised me with some oak hints and far more sweetness than I had anticipated.
Review by Hufschmid Pius
Not my rum, although praised by many. Too hard with some wood.
