Ron Centenario's new Gran Reserva 25 Year Systema Solera is one of the best rums I have tasted in some time. This new rum is an excellent new addition to the already fine line of rums from Ron Centenario.
This is a product of the unique biodiverse country of Costa Rica. Made from the molasses of local sugar cane that was hand cut from the volcanic soil and a tropical climate that makes for some of the best sugar cane anywhere.
This dark amber rum has a rich and sweet aroma that leads you to a great long lasting sweet carmel and fruit taste on the palate and a semi dry finish that seems to go on for a long long time. I tried hard to talk George out of the bottle, but I had little success, but it will be available in late March or early April. There is also rumor of a 30 year old on the horizon.
Keep your eyes open for this one, it is going to be one you don't want to miss. ;o)
