The Abuelo Centuria Reserva de la Familia is an exquisitely crafted 30-year-old rum that embodies the rich tradition and passionate dedication of successive generations to the art of rum production. This exceptional spirit is the proud creation of the Hacienda San Isidro distillery in Panama, a facility that has been committed to sugarcane cultivation and rum distillation since 1908. To commemorate its centenary, the distillery unveiled the Ron Abuelo Centuria, the oldest and most distinguished expression in their portfolio.
Crafted from sugarcane honey, a method commonly associated with Guatemalan rums, the process begins with freshly pressed sugarcane juice that is thickened into a syrup. The resulting distillate is then meticulously aged in ex-Bourbon barrels using the Solera method, which involves a continuous blending process across different aged rums according to a specific scheme. This method ensures that the rum drawn from the bottom row of barrels for bottling includes components that have aged up to 30 years.
Upon nosing the Abuelo Centuria, one is greeted with a complex and enticing bouquet featuring notes of wood, tobacco, and minerals that are immediately noticeable. These initial aromas are followed by hints of nuts, orange, brown sugar, sweet spices, and delicate touches of pepper and olive. The entry on the palate is smooth and slightly sweet, with pronounced flavors of tobacco and orange. The overall profile is balanced by a pleasing sweetness, a certain freshness, and well-integrated alcohol, creating a harmonious and refined tasting experience.
The name "Centuria" is derived from the Latin word "centum," meaning a hundred, and serves as a fitting tribute to the distillery's long-standing history of producing exceptional rums.
