Centenario 12 Años Gran Legado
Anyone who likes soft, sweet Spanish-style rum to open a tasting or sip after dinner will get on with this Costa Rican column-still 12. Expect caramel, honey and a little coconut, with a vanilla roundness that tastes sweetened. Most tasters call it easy and pleasant but not memorable — one described it as "sweet and round" with a warm, slightly alcoholic finish.
The community says- Soft and mild
- Tastes sweetened

Aggregated from 96 community reviews.
Mild, sweet, easy-going Spanish-style sipper Most find it mild, sweet and easy to drink, good for starting a tasting — but round to the point of forgettable, with a sweetness several read as added sugar.

Sweet and round. Alcoholic spikes noticable with a warm feeling going down

Schön mild.

I thought this one was priced right. No distinctive flavors, but not bad. Mixed and straight, about the same.
