Centenario Conmemorativo 9Y is a mature Costa Rican rum with a distinctive, spicy character and a pleasantly dry flavor profile. It is aged for at least 9 years in small white oak barrels, with brandy and Scotch whiskey barrels also used during the aging process. These contribute vanilla, woody, and slightly smoky notes to the final profile.
