Production method
Main ageing and blending method: Solera system (mixing of aged rum reserves). The brand works with blended reserves that combine distillates of different ages to build the various expressions.
Ageing
Solera method: assembly/blending of aged reserves (individual labels declare blends of rums of varying ages; commercial descriptions reference up to 30 years for the most prestigious editions).
Producer history Centenario
According to the brand's communication, the history of Ron Centenario is traced back to the 1980s (cited as 1985 in some product presentations). The company operates under the trade name Centenario Internacional S.A.; over the years it has established a range of aged and premium blended rums and expanded exports to numerous international markets. Some sources also indicate that the group changed its corporate identity compared with previous corporate phases (historical mentions of a link with Seagram and name changes in the early 2000s).
Production philosophy
Brand communication emphasizes patience, the craft of the master rum maker and Costa Rican identity (values linked to the concept Pura Vida). The brand highlights barrel ageing and blending as the main tools to achieve balance, complexity and smoothness in its premium expressions.
Territory
Costa Rica (operational headquarters in the San José metropolitan area / Curridabat) with commercial presence and exports to several European and overseas markets.
