The Gran Reserva at the Top of the Solera
Centenario Internacional is Costa Rica's leading rum house, and its Gran Reserva is drawn from the top of its solera selection: younger rums are continuously refreshed against older ones, so every pour spans the full 6-to-25-year range. The number on the label is the age of the oldest rum in that system, in the classic solera convention. Explore the house on the Ron Centenario vendor page, or browse our rum collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand's copy: wood prominent on the nose with green fruits (green apple in the short brand note) and spice; a slightly sweet yet characteristically dry palate, green fruit and spice in harmony, and a long stay in the mouth.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat after dinner — its dryness sets it apart from sweeter solera styles. The 20 Fundacion sibling is in our rum collection.

Is this the same as Ron Zacapa 23?
