Ron Centenario 12 or 20: two expressions from Costa Rica

Born in Costa Rica, the Ron Centenario house crafts rums using blending and maturation methods that shape generous and accessible profiles. Two of its expressions offer a chance to discover this world: Ron Centenario 12 Secretos Gran Legado and Ron Centenario 20 Fundación.

The Ron Centenario 12 Secretos Gran Legado is aged in American white oak barrels that previously held Scotch whisky. It develops a balanced and slightly sweet profile, marked by vanilla, ripe red fruits, and woody notes. It can be enjoyed neat or with a few ice cubes.

The Ron Centenario 20 Fundación is crafted using the Solera system, which combines rums of different maturities. Deeper and more indulgent, it reveals notes of vanilla, ripe fruit, caramel, and wood. Its generous texture makes it an expression particularly suited for slow sipping, at the end of a meal.

These two bottles thus offer two ways to approach the house style. The 12 Secretos will suit those looking for a balanced, fruity, and woody rum. The 20 Fundación will appeal more to lovers of a richer, rounder, and more complex expression.

So, for your next tasting, will you choose the 12 Secretos or the 20 Fundación?
