Santa Teresa 1796

Aroma is nicely full of vanilla and chocolate. Taste is sweet, smooth and creamy, light with again chocolate, coffee, and honey. Aftertaste is longer and pleasant.

Oak taste, barrel aging provides good flavor. Not particularly overpowered by any one flavor. Not as sweet as others. I have sampled, would enjoy adding to my collection.

Vanilla and rich notes of butterscotch, molasses and chocolate, banana sweet notes. Hints of Calvados.

I have a typical solera smell in the glas. A lot of dry fruits like plums, vanilla and burned sugar.
The flavors I already know from Pampero Aniversario. Some wet barrel, cocoa and nutmeg flavors are also there, reminds of Dictador Perpetual. Balanced smell, but not exceptional.

The taste starts with cocoa, white oak and vanilla. The tannins are getting stronger, you can interprrerte this as coffee, but it's just tannins with burned sugar. I can say it's multicolumn distillation. Some dry fruits and nutmeg are also in the taste. It's overall not complex.

A usual solera rum, the tannins are a little bit too dominant in my opinion.
I would rate it with 68 points.

Solid solera rum at a very reasonable price. Toffee, caramel and leather on the nose. More alcohol burn than Zacapa 23 but still good. Drink neat and let sit for 15 minutes.
Totally enjoyable

This rum has a sweet, smoky flavor. Unfortunately, palate doesn't differentiate the more complex flavors. The 40% alcohol content makes for a smooth sip with no burn. Definitely easy to drink neat.

Rhum très bien construit. Belle finesse et longueur en bouche.

This rum smells fruity and sweet (caramel). In mouth has a flash of sweetness and moves quickly to the spices (and some leather and chocolate). Afterburn is smooth and it last for some time. However, it is missing some balance between aroma and taste to make it a great rum (but it is close though). Maybe a higher ABV would have helped to bring up some of the flavors that are overpowered by the spices?

This is an excellent rum. Its enjoyable on it's on or with your favorite mix. Highly recommend

Aye, this be a decent rum. On the nose, she be sweet with oak, vanilla, and caramel - standard rum fare - but there also be a hint of fruit, and a tiny bit of smoke/tobacco hidin' in the background. As for taste, she not be terribly complex OR as sweet as she smells. There be a quick hit of sweet, but then that turns into a bitter, twangy, wine/sherry flavor that lingers a bit too long. Beyond that, there be a distinct oak flavor with baking spices to boot. There be a little burn goin' down the hatch, but not so much as you'd notice after several sips. Might this be good for sippin'? Aye! More so if you have a penchant for wine or sherry hijackin' the flavor of an otherwise decent rum. arrgh!
