By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rican rum maker Ron Centenario is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a unique fusion of art and tradition. The company has unveiled a limited edition of its iconic Ron Centenario Aniversario, featuring artwork by renowned Costa Rican visual artist Rafael Gutiérrez.
The collaboration seeks to honor Costa Rican national culture and artistic richness. This limited-edition bottle is not just a spirit but a collectible piece, showcasing the vibrant intersection of art and heritage.
For expert legal insight into this developing story concerning Ron Centenario, we turned to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, Attorney at Law at Bufete de Costa Rica.
The legal implications surrounding the sale and distribution of Ron Centenario, particularly regarding intellectual property rights and regulatory compliance, are multifaceted. Counterfeit products, misleading marketing, and improper labeling can all lead to significant legal challenges. Companies operating within this space must be vigilant in protecting their brands and ensuring they adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, both domestically and internationally, to avoid potentially costly litigation and reputational damage.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’ insights underscore a critical point for both consumers and producers of Ron Centenario: safeguarding the integrity of this iconic Costa Rican product requires constant vigilance. The complexities of international trade and intellectual property law make legal expertise essential for navigating this landscape successfully. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for shedding light on these vital considerations.
This initiative represents a tribute to both the rum-making tradition and contemporary Costa Rican art.
We are united by the same root: art, which tells stories, transmits emotions, and leaves a legacy. As a brand, we celebrate that art through the creation of Costa Rican rum, recognized internationally and capable of transcending borders.
Dianne Medrano, CEO of Centenario Internacional
Gutiérrez’s artistic intervention draws inspiration from his signature visual language: “casitas,” or little houses. This motif, he explains, enables him to narrate the identity of the country.
The little houses have always been a way of telling who we are: communities that grow among mountains, cities that change without losing their warmth. Art connects us with our roots, reminds us who we are, and invites us to share a vision of the world.
Rafael Gutiérrez, Artist
Each bottle serves as a unique testament, reflecting Gutiérrez’s sensitivity and artistic vision. The design incorporates elements evocative of both nature and the urban spirit, representing the duality that characterizes Costa Rica.
Each bottle is imbued with what characterizes our country, an inexhaustible energy that is reflected in every stroke and every contrast.

According to Dennis González, Marketing Manager at Centenario Internacional, the partnership holds significant value.
This year we reach our 40th anniversary with Ron Centenario, and we wanted to do it with a project that united our most aged rum with Costa Rican art. We invited Rafa Gutiérrez, and a special complicity arose. His vibrant and multicolored style fit perfectly with our vision of celebrating what is national.
Dennis González, Marketing Manager of Centenario Internacional
Only 200 bottles have been produced – 100 for the domestic market and 100 for export. This exclusivity emphasizes the intricate artistic detail and the complexity of the selected rum, making it a truly special release.
