Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
When poured, this rum reveals a brilliant amber hue, with glints of mahogany and gold that make it exceedingly inviting. The legs on the glass are slow and syrupy, signaling a well-aged spirit.
Nose (Aroma):
The olfactory journey of Centenario Rum 12 Year begins with a sophisticated aroma of caramel and molasses, followed by a bouquet of tropical fruits—specifically notes of banana and pineapple. Subtle nuances of oak and vanilla derived from its long years in barrel waft through, elevating the overall aromatic experience.
Palate:
The first sip delivers a complex layering of flavors. The initial smoothness of caramel and vanilla make way for a cascade of fruitiness, featuring elements of dried figs, dates, and a touch of citrus zest. The woodiness of the oak is present but well-integrated, serving as a harmonizing force for the other flavors. A surprising hint of toasted nuts and spices like cinnamon and clove add a layer of complexity that is captivating.
Finish:
The finish is notably long, warm, and exceedingly smooth. It leaves behind a delightful aftertaste of brown sugar and a residual spiciness, with the matured oak subtly echoing as a final testament to its age.
