Ron Centenario Añejo Especial 7 Year Old Rum
Ron Centenario Añejo Especial 7 Year Old Rum is Costa Rica's classic añejo, aged a full seven years in American white oak barrels that previously held Scotch whisky. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750mL bottle, it is the smooth, honeyed entry into the Centenario family — and the natural stepping stone to the older Ron Centenario Conmemorativo 9 Year Old Rum.

The Story
Ron Centenario has been made in Costa Rica since 1985, in a cellar set among rivers and rainforest where the balance of freshness and humidity ages the rum naturally — the house calls itself the only rum in Costa Rica “Aged by Nature.” The Añejo Especial's name, 7 Provincias, honors the seven provinces of Costa Rica. Heavy and light rums distilled from sugarcane molasses rest separately in American white oak barrels that once held Scotch whisky, and the master blender marries them into a rum built for both sipping and mixing. It sits just below the Ron Centenario 12 Gran Legado Rum in the range.
Tasting Notes
Warm honey and vanilla lead, with dried fruit, soft oak and a gentle spice underneath. The palate is round and smooth with a mellow, lingering sweetness — approachable neat, and structured enough to carry a cocktail.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat or over a single large cube, stir it into a rum Old Fashioned, or use it anywhere a rich aged rum lifts the drink. Browse the rest of our rum collection for more aged rums from Costa Rica and beyond.
