The Santa Teresa 1796 is a Solera Rum from Venezuela, which is about 12 years old on average. The oldest processed rum is said to be up to 35 years old. The rum is stored in Limousin oak barrels for the finish. It is bottled with 40% alcohol. Sugar caramel is added as a dye. Otherwise, only a small amount of sugar has been detected, which may also come from the barrel. The bottle is handsome and the waxy coating on the closure makes the bottle classy and special.

The dark brown rum gives itself in the nose with classic rum notes. Plum, tropical fruits and wood are to be discovered. But you have to keep your nose deep into the glass. On the palate, the rum is sweet with vanilla aromas and again tropical fruits. Wood notes nestle in and the at least partly long storage and the Limousin barrel are noticeable. Before the finish the alcohol says hello and it becomes sharp at the finish which is accompanied by sweet barrel notes.

At the first drink, the Santa Teresa was tasty but a bit boring compared to other rums, as the certain spice is missing. Nor do I find any deeper complexity. Over time, I have learned to appreciate the rum more, because it is not too demanding and is good for tired evenings. One of the better Soleras.

Der Santa Teresa 1796 ist ein Solera Rum aus Venezuela, welcher im Schnitt ca. 12 Jahre alt ist. Der älteste verarbeitete Rum soll bis zu 35 Jahre alt sein. Der Rum lagert als Finish in Limousin Eichenfässern. Abgefüllt wird er mit 40% Alkohol. Zuckerkulör wird als Farbstoff hinzugefügt. Ansonsten wurde nur geringfügig Zucker nachgewiesen, welcher auch vom Fass stammen kann. Die Flasche ist ansehnlich und der wachsartige Überzug am Verschluss macht die Flasche edel und speziell.

Der dunkel braune Rum gibt sich in der Nase mit klassischen Rum Noten. Pflaume, tropische Früchte und Holz sind zu entdecken. Man muss aber die Nase durchaus tief ins Glas halten. Am Gaumen ist der Rum süß mit Vanille Aromen und wieder tropischen Früchten. Es schmiegen sich Holznoten ein und die zumindest teilweise lange Lagerung und das Limousin Fass sind durchaus merkbar. Vor dem Abgang wird der Akohol etwas zu präsent und es wird scharf beim Abgang, welcher von süßen Fassnoten begleitet wird.

Beim ersten Trinken war der Santa Teresa schmackhaft aber im Vergleich zu anderen Rums etwas langweilig, da die gewisse Würze fehlt. Auch finde ich keine tiefere Komplexität. Mit der Zeit habe ich den Rum mehr schätzen gelernt, weil er halt nicht zu anspruchsvoll ist und gut für müde Abende ist. Einer der besseren Soleras!

This is probably one of the most underrated rums I've tried besides the Ron Centenario 20-Year.

Smells and tastes of caramel, butterscotch, molasses, honey, vanilla, and a light oak. This is exactly the type of rum I love. It's especially good for the low price of only $38.49 (Total Wine & More, 2020 price).

Bit disappointed with this one. Starts off well but to much of a rougher ethanol burn overpowers what flavor initially comes through. If Zacapa xo is a nine, El Dorado 15 and Plantation 20 year are an 8 I can't give this more than a 6. The sealed cork was covered in mould as well. First time I've ever seen that

It was a long time since I wanted to try it and I finally tasted today. I must say, it is really an excellent rum and above all value for incredibly reasonable price. You will be satisfied immediately, first sip! I'm sure in the future I will take another bottle. I love it! Highly recommended

Santa Teresa 1796 is my first rum love. It has a perfect balance of spice that lingers. Slight hints of molasses and nutmeg with a little oak.

If it was slightly more sweet, it would be a 9 for me. I'll admit that

If you think Diplomatico is now too sweet and flat, give Santa Teresa 1796 a try. I find it quite similar in style to the popular Venezuelan rum, but with much less sugar and some added complexity from the solera aging process. You get the same honey, butterscotch, and chocolate notes, but with more nuts, dried fruits, and a touch of smoky oak. Strikes a great balance between all facets to remain approachable, yet interesting with every sip. My favorite Latin style rum to date.

Nice dark leather color with pastry notes with caramel, honey, toffee, butterscotch. Same notes in mouth added with chocolate. Smooth, very short, no aftertaste. A little disappointed but for the price, it's ok.
I just tried with a drop of water and other fragrances are emerging, perhaps on ice.

This rum is outstanding as both a sipper or mixed. It's pleasant, accommodating, flexible and delicious. Perhaps more of a generalist in it's applicability, if I had to settle on having only one rum, this would be it.

Pleasant aroma. Sipping some proved to be interesting. Definitely a complex series of flavors and I don't claim to be anywhere near an expert but there is a distinct sweetness and some fruitiness to it. Gives a good burn but it not harsh nor overpowering. This would be excellent as a mixer as long as the ingredients used are not overpowering. This rum needs complimentary flavors that are subtle.

This is one smooth rum without any cloying sweetness or added flavorings. It's a perfect straight-up sipping rum, one of the best in the $50 US category. Excellent.
