Santa Teresa is right up my alley. This is a deep and satisfying sipping rum. Aromas of cedar and oak and quite a bit of medicinal notes up front. On the dry side which is good for me yet it still speaks rum with candied orange and molasas cookies. The second pour brings brownies and vanilla. But its not even close to being a sugar bomb.
At the $40 mark it's a simple presentation and thats another plus for me. A fancy bottle is fun to look at but it's whats inside that counts and I will happily count out 40 bucks for this nectar. Eye candy not needed.

Picked up a bottle in Maryland for $43.60 including tax. Tasty rum, but I've had others in that price range that I like better.

Reminds me a bit of the Pampero ,it lacks the bite of the Selecto and a wonderful ,fairly complex, not to sweet rum. Hints of Cocoa,Cofffee but it also mixed with reminders of the solera System which use to produce sweeter rums. A great choice

not so sweet like Diplomatico 12, reminds me Pampero Anniversario in palate, ....smooth, thick, pleasant.

When I first received this bottle, I opened the canister and the smell reminded me of church (the candle wax around the cork lid).
The time I tried it (neat) I wasn't overly impressed; strong spice smell and taste which was making it hard to smell or taste anything else.
The next time I added a little water and it opened the drink right up.
I do like this stuff but for me it requires a touch of water to enjoy it fully.

Voici un rhum plutôt réussi, d'une grande richesse, même si au nez l'alcool semble agressif. Des parfums de banane flambée, de caramel, de vanille et une touche discrète et gourmande de crème patissière se révèlent agréablement en bouche; il est dommage cependant que sur la longueur l'alcool reprenne le dessus. Le résultat donne un rhum assez sec malgré les arômes délivrés. Pour les amateurs de ce type de rhum, il vaut le détour; il est cependant dommage que l'alcool ne soit pas mieux atténué, il aurait été digne d'un premium.

I think that the young rums in the blend are poor enough that the older ones can't make up the slack. Sounds great on paper, but is only middle of the road in the glass.

Bon, je suis sentimental , et ce rhum est le premier que j'ai goûté et c'est celui la qui m'a fait passer dans le clan des amateurs de rhum. C'est grâce a ce rhum que j'ai découvert ce qu’étaient des bons rhums. C'est son parfum vanillé au nez et sa relative douceur en bouche qui m'a convaincu.

I like this one very much. I don't drink it every chance I get, but it rates up there with others at the $40 range. I keep it under my bar, since my bar top is covered with my go-to rums in the $20 and under range. I have luckily found many good rums in the range to keep me happy.

A la première dégustation, c’est un sévère 6 que j’avais attribué à ce rhum.
J’apprends à l’aimer avec le temps qui passe, au point que c’est actuellement le rhum que je consomme le plus.
Un peu moins sucré que d’autre rons, il fait preuve d’un bel équilibre douceur-puissance-longueur.
Le packaging est séduisant et avec son prix mini, c’est un rhum à posséder.

Jeg syntes den er uden smag eller kraft. Smager ikke rigtig af noget. Absolut ikke et genkøb.
