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.

Rhum agréable a boire. Belle arome. Bon rapport qualité-prix
This and Zacapa remain two of my favorite ways to ease in new drinkers. A bit sugary and cloying for me, most of the time, but still a great drinkable glass. Almost the sweet Belgian/Trappist ale of the rum world.
Very few Rums compare & even less for this price range. What a great drop!
To mix it would be sacrilegious. Even hold back the ice if you can resist.
Mild and mellow notes to smell and great tasting notes to match.
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 :)
Not too many stores carry this brand so when I came across a bottle I grabbed it. This has a fairly high rating so I thought it would be worth the risk. It is just OK. Thats all I can say. At this price point there are many other choices that I like better.
I have drunk this rum for the last 25 years since I have been working in South America. It tastes like a top quality cognac, only smoother. For sipping, I consider this the ideal. Some rum lovers would probably say it is a "girl's rum" since the solar process makes it much smoother than Mount Gay XO. For mixing I would prefer the Mount Gay. The Santa Teresa you should drink pure and no ice. I recommend a cognac glass. This rum has been hard to get lately due to the political situation in Venezuela but seem to become available again.
I like this one. Hint of caramel, not sweet and very natural. I still have some left in a bottle and bought another one in the meantime. Good to have it in the cabinet
Been wanting to try this rum for some time now and it didn't disappoint me. I like my rums a bit sweeter, but it has just enough vanilla and molasses kick to satisfy that...It's a bit hot in the back of the throat on the finish for me...but that's my only complaint. It's a nice sipping rum and worth the wait.
Way back in 1991, my rum world consisted of Bacardi Anejo, Myers Dark, and any unflavored rums by Cruzan. Our cruise ship stopped for one day in Venezuela and I picked up my first bottle of Venezuelan Rum called Selecto Gran Reserva. Wow! It was by far the smoothest rum that I had ever tasted at that time, so I savored that only bottle for several months, knowing that I may never have a chance to find another one. I wisely saved the empty bottle. I recently read the very fine print on the side label which said Santa Teresa. A-ha!
These rums are somewhat available locally. They still make the Selecto, but only this 1796 Ron Antigua de Solera is available where I live, so I finally bought that long awaited second bottle. This one is also rated better on this site than the Selecto. At $46, it is now one of the most expensive bottle of rum that I have ever tried. My rum bucks now stop at $50!
The nose is of vanilla and cinnamon with a mouth feel adding caramel and oak. Yes, it is as smooth as I remembered with absolutely no bite from the alcohol. But compared to the ones that I have tried in recent years, this one is just not nearly as memorable. I am glad that I bought that bottle of Selecto some 26 years ago because it opened up my world to Venezuelan rums, as well as those from neighboring Guyana. I will also savor this bottle of 1796 with one pour over an ice cube each time. It is too expensive to waste as a mixer and would really do nothing to enhance any mixed drink. After opening the bottle, it improves even more.
Update after four months: About 2/3 of this bottle still remains after four months since I have been savoring it slowly. However, since it has been a while since I gave it another try, this evening cost it one point in my rating. The sherry cask aging has finally reared it's ugly head. I hate rums aged in fortified wine casks, but this one was done with a very delicate touch to get my initial rating of 9. Now that it has had time to breathe in the bottle, the sherry cask aging becomes more obvious.
Update December 18, 2020: I have been buying this really good rum for years, but today I opened another bottle to the smell of furniture polish. The taste was also mildly of furniture polish. I obviously got a bad bottle with no notation on the label to warn others what to avoid. This will sadly be my last bottle of this once proud rum. I will not lower my rating because my one bad episode should not be allowed to affect others.
The Rum Barrel Review
"On the nose there’s a lovely dark profile. Fresh ground coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, plums. There are some tropical fruits like pineapple and passion fruit, followed by a slight grassy note. Nutmeg, old leather, tobacco and white pepper. On the palate it goes down so easy. Milk chocolate, vanilla, honey, mango, toffee and cashews. Canned pineapple, blackcurrant, coconut cream and coca cola. The tobacco note is back along with some cinnamon. Not crazy sweet, fairly well balanced and easy going. Cocoa butter and orange marmalade. Towards the end is where you get a bit more oak spices and some alcohol heat. The finish is short with cocoa nibs, some oak tannins and maple syrup."
Has a nice light sweet vanilla note.
"Spicy notes and a oaky lavour are very pleasant and not overpowering."

Výborný Venezuelský rum

Rum má velmi neobvyklou chuť s jasně patrným nádechem sladkého ovoce, v Evropě je bohužel zastíněn populárnější značkou Diplomatico, byť je jeho kvalita srovnatelná.
