Troppo forte e senza profondità né aromi, buono solo per uno shot

Just about nice enough to drink with ice but also not bad with mixer

A little sweet for me to drink all the time, but for $20 it is a great deal.

Better than a bacardi but its not something you buy for a special occasion. Not bad as a mixer and would recommend it to keep stocked in cabinet if the price is right. Flavour is slightly smoother than white rums but tastes similar.

Another budget rum. Decent if I keep the price in mind, but nothing to write home about.

From 2 to 5 years in oak barrel, which we can smell in nose with caramel. In taste is fruit and cinamon also.

Smooth, mellow, and great value for money. So much better than other rums in this price category.

It’s a good rhum to mix with coke and lime. Made me fall in love with rhum and cokes. With no mixer, it can be a but rough.

Me encanta el contraste de la dureza y el dulzor que queda al final del trago, todavía más cuando el litro sale a 7'5€ aunque para tomarlo solo o con hielo prefiero otros que salen por algo más.

I had the chance today to either replace my bottle of 1796 that lasted for five months or choose this cheaper little brother that I had never tried. When it came to $18 versus $44, this one won out and I just had to find out for myself if it is really as bad as many of the reviews say. For being only a few more dollars more than bottom shelf rums like Bacardi or Captain Morgan but having the Santa Teresa name, I figured that I could not lose.
It's dry. It burns slightly. It is very young. Is it horrible? Not really. It tastes like it was distilled a few hours ago and then had wood chips added for a couple of more hours. Somehow, it is smooth. It is by no means rot gut. For those on a tight budget and trying to break away from Bacardi and Captain Morgan, this rum was meant for you as your entry into the world of great rum distillers. However, it's older brother 1796 is definitely worth the extra money, but the two cannot even be compared except that both have the trademark Venezuelan quality. This one is also so cheap that one will never feel guilty about using it as a mixer or on the rocks, but neat just does not cut it. Since it is dry, feel free to tie one on and probably have no penalty the next day. It certainly tastes better than Don Q Cristal, which is the ultimate penalty free rum for getting drunk on.
