Distiller Notes
This blend of rums is aged in white American oak for up to 20 years in a traditional solera system. The sweetest Centenario expression, this rum has a luxurious texture evoking milk chocolate, cream, a hint of pipe smoke, white chocolate, butter, flan, custard, and honey syrup. The finish amplifies the creamy notes of the rum, bringing in buttered pastry, prunes, and stewed fruit.
This rum is ideal to enjoy neat, with spring water, or ice, but also makes an excellent Rum Manhattan: rum, sweet vermouth, and two dashes of The Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
