New version of the Centenario “30” to celebrate 30th anniversary of Centenario. Due for release in mid-November.
Vanilla, light oak and banana aromas. VERY sticky in the glass (too much sugar, glycerine and caramel).
Very smooth on the palate but too sweet.
Nice flavours, dessert in a glass but as it is essentially a multi column industrial still with Solera “ageing”, the price point is way too high and the product should not really be called rum.
Appleton 12yo for £28 is amazing. It’s difficult to argue in favour of Centenario 25 at £80-90 or the 30 at £130 by comparison.
Sorry guys…I enjoy drinking it after dinner in place of dessert, but it isn’t really rum, it’s a liquor.
You need to drop the added sugar, too!

My first rum was Appleton and that is generally the benchmark I use for comparing rums along with Foursquare. My collection now has (in 2023) over 600 different rums and that number is continually growing.
I am an advocate of the Gargano rum re-categorisation.
As well as rum, I am a big Liverpool fan (and season ticket holder) and love Pet Shop Boys (hence the blog name).
I have a Level 1 WSET qualification in Spirits, Level 2 with Distinction. I also have Level 1 WSET wine and Level 2 with Distinction qualifications.
