Santa Teresa 1796

with vanilla, cinammon notes
Bit less rating vs Diplomatico

First of all, I like that the rum is not sweet; even though it might contain around 4 gram sugar per liter, according to the nutrition sheet from the producer: https://www.bacardilimited.com/nutrition/santa-teresa/

Depending on what I drank or ate before, the rum tasted bland or complex - fruity, raisiny, notes of coffee and more.
That's why I'd recommend it to most rum sippers, as a rewarding experience.

I would give it a 7,5, but I can't. I do not think it is in the same league of the El Dorado 15 or Zacapa Solera 23, but you have to pay the same amount (at least in the UK). I think it is a great rum and I appreciate how well balanced it is, but it does not have the same level of complexity of the two aforementioned rums (and costs the same). I put it in the same category of the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva: great elegant rums amd they will make you always happy. But not quite at the same level of Zacapa 23 and El Dorado 15.

It´s a nice rum but it doesn`t knock my socks off:-)

Nice taste, ok. .

I am partial to sweet rums, and even if this is not a very sweet rum, is has a smoothness that makes it an easy sipper. Particularly when one lets it stand for a while before tasting. By all means recommended. A pity to mix or dilute this.

I liked this rum, not one of my favourite but surely an intresting bottle. I found it better with a bit of water.

Lovely rum, with Good spice and a heavy bottom. Not too sweet. Add a sprink og Water, and The flavours comes to Life.

Lækker afvekslende rom, ikke så fed og sød, men tilgengæld dejlig krydret.
Et overvejende genkøb.

Fruty and sweet , i think it's the best from Venezuela .
