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.

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.

Questo Rum ha un fascino, ne ho bevuti tanti di rum solera, pero' questo Rum mi da un senso di genuinita' .
Nel palato lascia tracce di caramello, cannella e note lignee molto delicate.
Non e' un Rum troppo complesso al palato, molto piu' complessa e' la sua produzione visto che il metodo Solera prevede una specie di piramide fatta di filari di botti con Rum invecchiati con diverse anzianita' .
Il prezzo di questo Rum non e' eccessivo e sicuramente va provato.

Based on value and comments from this site, I looked to taste this rum for a while and finally found it at a rum bar in Florida. I must say that I was not disappointed at all. It's a mellow sipping rum with a very nice bouquet. For a rum in this price range, I highly recommend it.

Nose: Honey, cinnamon, brown sugar. Bananas, vanilla and a little smoke/incense. Some oak prickle and a little bit of pepper, maybe from the French oak?

Palate: Rounded and soft mouth feel. Dry but with taste of maple. Pineapple, dried tropical fruit (papaya, guava, mango) and banana again. Oak (some age showing), caramels and cinnamon again.

Finish: Dry, medium and fresh. Spicier than the palate with some candied stem ginger, cracked black pepper and a faint hint of something from the spice cabinet, maybe some cumin, cayenne or paprika.

I'm not too fan of Solera aged system rum but , this is a typical Venezuela flavor rum, perfect balance and molasses hints.
Santa Teresa 1796 married perfect with cigar or just alone.

nice on the nose, nice on the tongue to start, but the rest, the finish, a bit harsh for a better word, for me anyway. I want to like it, the aging process sounds just right... but... never-the-less, a fine rum. Hoping it gets better each time, if so, I'll update my review.

Se trata de un ron notablemente seco, donde se aprecian notas de roble y frutos secos. Elaborado en: El Consejo, Estado Aragua, Venezuela.

Good taste and full-bodied. Not too sweet, you can notice chocolate and coffee notes, but not so over-tasty as others remarkable rums. Very good equilibrium achived
