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!

A lover of rums, especially British-style from countries such as Jamaica and Barbados.
Rum ambassador. Reviews. Rum opinions. Rum advice. Rum news. Rum chat. Rum discussion.
My first rum was Appleton and that is generally the benchmark I use for comparing rums along with Foursquare. My collection now has (in 2022) 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) as well as having a cute cocker spaniel.
I have a Level 1 WSET qualification in Spirits, Level 2 with Distinction and a level 1 WSET wine qualification.
