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.

Very respected and storied distillery. But this is very average. I expected more and am now am 100% convinced that the Solera system is cheating, marketing and BAD for rum. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING AND DRINKING. This might have been an exceptional rum if left to age and mature on its own merits. But in the solera system it is married with several barrels of different rums. Ask yourself; "Do I like this Rum that offers all manner of cask influences on its taste profile". Or would you prefer a real and properly aged rum that carries the characteristics of its individual process from distillation to bottle. I MUCH prefer the later. This could have only 1% of 35 year old rum but certainly no more thasn 5%. That is how solera works. I have tried more than 2 dozen solera rums now. There have been some good ones. There have been not been any great rums using the solera system. Not even one. In can't help thinking a lot of fine rum has been waisted trying to save time and gain marketing spin. Just say "NO" to solera. It works fine for Sherry..........but who cares???

Tried this on advice from a store owner. Very enjoyable. Fairly smooth, not too sweet and a reasonable, but not great flavor.
Come da aspettativa, bella la confezione, amabile al palato.

This is probably the best all around $50-70 rum I have encountered.
Smooth and complex in flavor, this rum is a great sipping rum.
Like all good spirits, enjoy it chills with just a few drops of water to open up the flavor and aroma.
Diplomatico is better advertised but Santa Teresa is the better quality rum from Venezuela. This rum is incredible
Great flavor, i really like this rum and can recommend it.

Hiermit hat es 2010 angefangen, hatte zwei Flaschen aus Venezuela mitgenommen. Jahre später nachbestellt, war leider nicht mehr so gut. Nostalgie spielt hier auch mit.

This is pretty tasty with one rock, or neat... cooling it off brought out the deep brown sugar and spices, really drinkable.

Is always a great choice. Solera system 4 to 34 really kicked me off

Very nice, well balanced Rum with heaps of flavour. Enough to keep your interest for sure. A touch sweet but an easy to get along with drink.
