Ron Centenario 20 Year Old Fundación Rum – Aged by Nature
Ron Centenario 20 Year Old Fundación is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and nature. Created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Ron Centenario, this exceptional rum blends rums aged between 6 and 20 years using a continuous aging system in American white oak barrels. These barrels previously held Scotch whisky, imparting a unique character that has made this rum the most awarded in the Centenario Family.
Aging Process: The Continuous Aging System
Ron Centenario employs a continuous aging system, inspired by the traditional Solera method. In this process, barrels are arranged in layers, with the lowest, called “Solera,” holding the oldest rums. Higher levels contain younger rums, with the newest residing at the top. As time passes, younger rums cascade down into the older barrels, enriching their complexity. Only 25% of the final liquid from the Solera is bottled, ensuring each batch retains the highest quality.
Tasting Notes: A Sensory Journey
With its 40% ABV, this rum offers a sophisticated experience for the senses. The aroma captivates with fruity notes, subtle vanilla, and wood, creating a retronasal effect—allowing you to “taste” the rum through its scent. On the palate, the flavor is soft and delicate, enhanced by a balanced interplay of vanilla, citrus, and woody undertones. Its smoothness is a signature of the Ron Centenario Premium line.
Handcrafted in Costa Rica’s Rainforest
Ron Centenario is proudly produced in Costa Rica, using pure mountain water and aged in an environment surrounded by lush rainforests. This natural setting contributes to its distinct character. The rum is crafted in harmony with nature, supported by the surrounding biodiversity, which helps maintain the perfect balance of humidity and temperature during the aging process.
