Santa Teresa 1796

For a good solera rum, it’s pretty harsh. I find that this rum guards its secrets well. But boy is it a great mixer. Great for a Queen’s Park Swizzle. Even better in a Charles Dickens Punch.

Alas - I gave this as a gift before it could be sampled at home!
Perhaps my friends saved me a bit ;-)

A good solera with a smooth finish until the burn kicks in. Great mixer.

One of the favorit. A bit sweet. .

This Rum is one of my favourites.

The ritual preparation: I pour 30cc of teresa rum in a wide tumbler and then let two drops of water slide of my index and middle finger into the glas.
Then I will let the glass set to breathe for 20minutes, then after the smell of the alcohol has vaporised and the full scent of the aroma is present I start to sipp.

Hmmm. Caramel, Butterscotch, perhaps some honey and a hint of vannila and maybe some wood as well. A very rich palette, that scent is just amazing.

The rum is less sweet than the Eldorado 12 which I also love

This is a dry rum and that's one of the main reasons I appreciate this rum so much. Price/quality is very good.

Peppery fruit aroma, fruity taste, low alcohol burn, hint of sherry? Long warming finish

No taste comes from this. Tasted this with a friend and he said the alcohol is not subtle and I agree.

Found this at a Hilton hotel on La Defense area in Paris.

Great sipper and and notes of butterscotch and caramel. Almost burnt caramel. Quite sweet on the back end.

An ice cube really opened this one up.

7,8:The nose of this rum opens with typical notes of molasses and caramel. Simple and pleasant, it evolves on a rather fat and sweet blond tobacco. It's easy to see how the cask has been burned, as a toasty woodiness gives the whole a firm hold.
When the glass is shaken a little, a fairly powerful alcohol takes flight, bringing with it fruity notes and a sort of strawberry candy. This second nose takes a decisive step away from the first impressions, giving way to cane sugar syrup.
7:On the palate, the rum recaptures the character seen on the nose in the opening moments. There are burnt notes of sugar, molasses and wood, with a hint of vanilla. Its texture is very smooth, round and also tangy at times. But in the end, it's the toasted profile that stands out: a slice of toasted bread comes out.
7:The finish is light and easy, like a milky caramel candy.

Fairly average, bit harsh up front. Would probably use as a mixer than anything else. No extra points given, but the new bottle is really nice.
