Venezuela | Aged | 40% ABV

Santa Teresa 1796 rum is produced in Venezuela and aged using the solera system that blends rums aged between 4 and 35 years. Before bottling, the rum is aged for a further year in large French oak casks to marry the blends.

This rum was first created in 1996 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the distillery, the Santa Teresa Hacienda.

Ich habe im Zuge einer 50% Rabatt Aktion zugeschlagen. So kostete eine Flasche mich nur 20€ und ich habe gleich 2 mitgenommen ;) Santa Teresa Rum wird in 2 Column Stills gebrannt, ich erwartete also einen leichten, nicht zu komplexen Rum. Die Lagerung in Limousin-Eiche gibt dem ganzen aber einen tollen Charakter.
In der Nase: Süße Vanille und Karamellnoten, fein eingebundene Eiche, Noten von dunklen Früchten und dunkler Schokolade. Einen hauch Zimt erkenne ich im Hintergrund. Riecht, wie ein guter Rum riechen muss.
Im Mund: Absolut weicher Rum, der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Die Aromen, die ich in der Nase schon hatte, kommen auch jetzt durch. Dazu kommen wunderbare Aromen von Toffee, diverse Backaromen sowie etwas Pfeifentabak und Leder. Es ist erstaunlich, wie viele dunkle Fruchtaromen mitschwingen. Da hat die Limousin-Eiche ganze Arbeit geleistet.
Im Abklang: Die Eiche bleibt besonders lange. Dazu Vanille, Karamell und die dunklen Früchte, die von der Eiche getragen werden. Abslut kein alkoholisches brennen, könnte gut ein paar mehr Umdrehungen vertragen.

Es ist nicht der komplexeste Rum, das ist klar. Dennoch ist es ein ganz toller Rum, den man zu jeder Tagesform trinken kann. Ein echter Schmeichler und ein toller Beweis, dass ein Rum keinen zugesetzten Zucker oder Aromen braucht, um zu überzeugen. Super finde ich auch, dass nicht irgendwelche Fabelzahlen drauf stehen. Der älteste Rum ist 25 Jahre alt. Hier wird im echten Solera Verfahren gereift und nicht wie bei anderen nur geblended. Ich kann ihn nur empfehlen :)

Veľmi príjemný rum pre ľudí čo prechádzajú od sladkých rumov k nedosladzovanym. Jemná chuť, nenútene ovocie, čokoláda,vanilka a výrazný karamel. Zaujímavé,že časť zrenia prebieha v sudoch z roku 1796.

This was the start of my experience of becoming a rum connoisseur and my goal of experiencing at least 200 different rums! This is always the first rum that new club members are started out with and I sampled it on July 13, 2021. I smelled vanilla and pepper and tasted strong pepper at the end. I would label this fairly mellow. I had tasted rum before but never concentrated on the nose and specific elements on my palate. To me, this rum was just average.

Have to say it’s packaged in one of the best bottles, especially liked the waxed cork.
Golden colour, average legs on the glass.
At first sip I thought it was quite bland, very little of anything.
After 10 mins in the glass it was much better.
Very smooth, little if any burn and a pleasant wood, fruity and maybe coffee aftertaste.
£58 for a litre bottle at Gatwick airport.
Money well spent I think.
Enjoy,graham.

This rum for me is a little lighter and the finish is a little long, harsher than the Gran Reserva from Diplomatico. The aroma is sweet, but on the palate it feels light, lack luster.

Still an ok sipping rum, but for the price, I'll get the Diplomatico.

Good sipping rum. A bit pricey, there are better values out there.

Very clean honest rum here. Nothing special though its been so highly blended that it really does not have anything that's stands out its nothing special but its not bad either. There isn't much bite here or complexity, its just a solera rum that's it nothing more. I would recommend this to someone just trying rum but to no one else.

Venezuela má rumy s velkým rozdílem v chutích. Tento rum není tak sladký jako slavné Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. Na jeho chuť si musím malinko zvyknout, ale po druhém napití mi chutná. Připomíná mi to jiný Solera rum, který mám rád a to Ron Centenario 1985.

I am new to the world of aged Rums and must add that I like to sip on aged Rum rather than mixing it. I recently purchased a bottle of Santa Teresa 1796 Rum from our local Liquor outlet. Having minimal experience with Rums I was pleasantly surprised at the profile of this Rum, which was not at all what I had expected. The aroma was sweet with flavours of molasses, butterscotch as well as oak being detected. In the mouth this Rum, while sweeter than my previous tasting with St. Nicholas Abbey Rums, but not overly sweet and was very flavourful. A nice sipper Rum to add to my collection and, best of all, it is very affordable.

Update (21-11-25): I now find this rum too sweet for my liking. Will not buy again. Score decreased to a “7”.

Overall very drinkable. At first very noticeable alcohol, then it smoothes out a bit. Very pleasant taste, although not very complex. No surprises at the end.
