Description
The driest Centenario expression, this rum is a blend of rums aged in white American oak for up to 18 years in a traditional solera system. This rum has elements of wet tobacco, pipe smoke, and chocolate: imagine a cigar box filled with chocolate truffles.
Faint hints of black olive accent a pronounced profile of dark chocolate, nutmeg, allspice, mace, ganache, and cocoa powder. The finish has notes of green walnuts and French roast coffee, ending with a rich and oily texture.
Ideal neat, with spring water, or ice, but incredibly well-suited to a Rum Old-Fashioned: rum, turbinado sugar, and four dashes of The Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas’ Own Decanter Bitters, garnished with an orange peel.
