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.

I've never used 'dry' to describe a rum before, but it fits the bill here. This is very tasty, nice golden color, very light oak, some mild caramel, maybe nutmeg. But ... slightly dry. Not harsh, but a slight alcohol nose, not there to taste though. Good for sipping, I've never mixed it. But I did try with a splash of water, to see if it would open up more. It did, but only slightly. A few more drops, and it washed out. Quite surprising, considering the age (or potential age) of the rum. If you have it on ice, I'd suggest finishing it before the ice melts.
