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.

This rum starts out with, Spank my booty and call me Martha but ends on a very flat note. Nice Mouth but the finish is a bit disappointing. Update, this rum has been sitting in the back of my rum cabinet just collecting dust, pulled it out for a dram and let it sit and breathe for 10-15 minutes and holy mackerel it has blossomed into a whole new drink. Very nice and excellent overall. Very smooth and silky.
The best rum around. The way the rum should be. This is a rum that rank with others at half the price.

I found this rum to be a bit too dry and it felt like it was too young. Not much to offer.

Round and smooth but in my opinion it lacks the lingering sweetness I prefer.
Had a couple of beers before which might have clouded my judgement

Beautiful fragrant smell, smooth and pure taste. Points for the story and bigger picture. Best overall rum I have had to date.

Un rom decent, fara ceva deosebit, seamana cu Flor de Cana, aspru, corpolent, cu gust de butoi foarte proeminent.

Un profil aromatique sur un boisé très présent mais qui se marie parfaitement avec ses notes de caramel et de crème pâtissière. Il reste cependant assez sec. Il s'agit ici du seul rhum que je bois sur glace car je trouve que ça le sublime vraiment.

I really enjoyed this rum , reminded me of Matusalem 15 (but better) and Millonario 15 (but not as sweet).
Not a great deal of nose but a nice golden colour when poured. Very easy to sip neat and also with ice. Tried also with cola but didn't get any taste improvement. Gentle burn and nice exit , would buy again as quite reasonable.

The BEST rum I tasted up to now ! Good balance between spices and lighter of the taste ! I could continue to drink it over and over ! Try to understand !
Picked up a bottle thanks to the warm recommendation of "Vlad" at my favorite liquor store. When I mentioned some other aged rums all I got was a grunt. When I pointed at the 1796 he started talking.
The Santa Teresa's got everything you want in an well aged rum. It's balanced towards the alcohol side (to me) but still fine to sip without any adulteration. The aftertaste is easy and lingers. I've only just started the bottle, but have tried and enjoyed it various ways. I seem to like it best with a single ice cube.

This one is one of the best popular rums out there. With price around 40 EUR in Slovakia, it's one level above all of your Diplomatico's and El Dorado's, but still affordable. What's more important, it also offers great value for the money. This rum is still on the sweet side, but the sweetness is distinctively fruity. That's a big difference in comparison with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva or El Dorado 12. This fruitiness also brings some dry element. It's not woody-dry or earthy-dry, but it's definitely not an oily rum. With all that being said, it stills offers a good portion of smoothness. Overall, it's a very good rum that can be enjoyed also by non-experienced drinkers.
