Caney Añejo Centuria 7 Años

Caney Anejo Centuria 7 Anos is a Cuban rum from the Caney distillery, a seven year old spirit matured in ex bourbon wood and bottled at a gentle 38%. It sits in the lighter Cuban tradition, here pointed toward a drier, more wood driven profile than the sweeter end of the Spanish style.

The nose carries spice, oak, fruit and toasted notes, the palate turns woody and roasted with a dry edge, and the finish stays dry with wood and a root like, slightly herbal character. It is a straightforward, honest rum at a bargain price, smooth and creamy in the mouth despite its dryness, and it pairs naturally with a good Cuban cigar. There is little sweetness or flash here, just an easy, characterful everyday pour for relaxed sipping rather than a deep or complex dram.
