Vlajková loď venezuelské firmy Santa Teresa. Na trhu je od roku 1996. Pod názvem 1796 Ron Antiguo de Solera byla představena u příležitosti dvoustého výročí Hacienda de Santa Teresa. Už z názvu je jasné, že zrání probíhá metodou solera. Jedná se o směs rumů starých 4 až 35 let. Ochutnal jsem 1/3 lahve při rumovo-doutníkové párty s kamarády z práce, jeden vzorek pro kontrolu degustuju ještě teď při psaní.
Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Venezuela
Aroma: Ve vůni je nejvíc znát broušená kůže, karamel, skořice a jemně čokoláda a zralé ovoce. Při důkladnějším hledání i vanilka. Při třetí sklence jsem v ní našel i pomerančovou marmeládu, a určitou podobnost s Pyratem XO. Nevím, zda to ovlivnila skutečnost, že ke třetí sklence došlo ke snoubení Santa Teresy a dominikánského doutníku Davidoff 3x3 v robustu, ale kolegové, kteří Pyrata XO také znají, mi pomeranče oba potrdili. (87 b)
Chuť: Na jazyku kakao, přezrálé ovoce, chuťově je tento rum hladivě jemný, jen s náznakem sladkosti. První dojem byl suchý, další sklenky už odhalily, že chuť není až tak přísně suchá. Po polknutí je jemnost vystřídána suchým kořením a hřejivostí alkoholu. (85 b)
Body: 86
Shrnutí: Na tento rum jsem si zuby brousil několik let, od chvíle , kdy mne poněkud zklamala mladší Santa Teresa a uviděl jsem tuhle lákavou butylku. Jedná se o dobrý rum, kolegům jemností v chuti připomínal Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva. Když budu hodně přísný, tak i přesto, že je to dobrý rum, tak bych vzhledem k ceně čekal ještě nějakou "přidanou hodnotu", když ho bezprostředně porovnám s nedávno představenou prémiovou čtyřkou Arcane-Atlantico-Zaya a Zafra, tak můj dojem je, že jejich kvalit nedosahuje. To ale může být ovlivněno tím, že mám rád výraznější chutě a vůně.

A great sipping rum. Not too spicy or sweet. Great for a casual evening with friends

I have shared this rum with many friends and family, and have yet to find anyone who didn't like it. This includes people who don't usually drink spirits neat.

I tried this alongside Plantation XO 20th Anniversary and El Dorado 15. I find it has a similar flavour profile to Plantation XO, but has a bit more character and complexity. El Dorado is a completely different style, I find.

The nose is incredible and invites you to linger longer than you might otherwise. Warming the glass with your hands enhances the nose and flavour further. This is my favourite sipping rum so far.

Many people dismiss rums with added sugar and though I tend to prefer slightly sweeter rums, I'm not so keen on overly sugared rums. Santa Teresa claim 4g per litre added sugar and people have tested it at 5g up to 6-7g. That's nowhere near as heavily sugared as many.

As an ethical consumer I would normally steer clear of Venezuelan rum, but I got this bottle as a gift. I have to say it is great. Opens with a delicacy and sweetness. Maintains a pure dark rum taste of molasses. Has plenty of salted caramel and toffee for me too. The alcohol bite is there but is wonderfully toned down. An excellent bottle. No wonder Venezuelan rum is so aggressively marketed these days!

A little harsh but not depleasant, let it some time to become smoother. Good rum for me.

I would say this is similar to zacapa 23 solero, just as sweet and a similar price range. Worthy of a purchase.

I get a small burn/spice on this one (black pepper !?).
Really enjoyable Venezuelan rum.

Tasted neat on 10/3/21 at Laka Lono.
This is a Solera rum that I really enjoyed, enough that I doodled a heart in the notes section along with the words "I like."
Update, July 26 2023

Velvety mouth and throat feel with medium but LASTING spice on the finish. Dry carmel, slight allspice, good complexity of almost spiced rum flavors. Not to sweet and love this lasting spice finish! Sipping neat is the way to go with this one.

at first I didn't know what to think of it, but over time I came to the conclusion that it is a very good bottle full of sweet finish with fruity tones
