Ron Centenario 30 Gran Reserva Rum
Ron Centenario 30 Gran Reserva Rum is a 750mL rum from Costa Rica at 40% ABV — the Edición Limitada 30 Años, a limited-edition solera blend of rums aged 8 to 30 years in oak barrels, bottled in a fine crystal decanter in a presentation box. Centenario Internacional conceived the brand in 1981 around long oak ageing — the first bottle was shown in Costa Rica in 1985 — and ages its rums at 1,208 metres, surrounded by rivers, volcanoes and forest. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

A Solera Crowned at Thirty Years
Centenario's solera does not ask one cask to do all the work: younger rums feed older ones until the blend's oldest component reaches thirty years, and that ceiling is the number on the decanter. The rum is aged by nature, in the brand's phrase — high-altitude Costa Rican ageing under a master blender, in a house built on the idea that oak and time are the recipe.

Tasting Notes
Producer-described: a deep amber pour with a rich, intense but delicate nose balancing oak and fruit with subtle green-fruit tones; a smooth, silky palate of soft wood; and a long, rich, aromatic finish. Specialist tasting sheets add ripe fruit, plum, raisin and vanilla on the nose.
How to Enjoy
Neat, with a splash of spring water, or over a single piece of ice — the producer's own serving suggestions for this decanter. It is a digestif pour, made for the end of the evening.
