Centenario 7 Provinces

Centenario 7 Provinces comes from Costa Rica's Fabrica Nacional de Licores, the national distillery behind the Centenario range, and it is a molasses based rum bottled at 40% with no age statement. It sits in the softer Central American style, a gently aged sipper made for easy, everyday enjoyment rather than full proof intensity.

The profile leans toward dried fruit and orange: the nose brings dried fruit, orange, woody notes and marzipan, while the palate turns to dried figs, orange, orange peel and more dried fruit. There is a mild, mature character here, the wood giving structure without dominating, and a marzipan sweetness rounding the edges. At 40% it drinks smoothly and softly, an approachable, dried fruit and citrus leaning rum that makes a comfortable after dinner pour for those who favour the gentler end of the spectrum.
