Santa Teresa 1796

"One of the best rums of South America" they said. I dont know. Walomeh for me. Weird taste.

I much prefer Ron Zacapa 23, XO or Ron Centenario 20 for their fuller flavor and smoothness. Santa Teresa 1796 has considerably less body, smoothness, and comes across as “dry”.

Disappointed in this bottle, it has less body than similar priced brands. There is a distinct aftertaste that is slightly burned.

This is a delicious rum from start to finish. Somewhat sweet with nice butterscotch tones to it. Does make my tongue tingle. This is my go-to Rum. This is in my top 5 with Vizcaya VXOP , Plantation XO 20th Anniversary, Zafra 21 and Kirk and Sweeney 23 as my official sipping rums.

This is another great rum to come out of Venezuela. It has a really nice balance and lends itself to be a really nice sipper. It is also my go to for a whiskey forward cocktail when I want to substitute I a good rum!

It is not a sipping rum by any means, it is a good rum to be mixed with coke.

Rum má velmi neobvyklou chuť s jasně patrným nádechem sladkého ovoce, v Evropě je bohužel zastíněn populárnější značkou Diplomatico, byť je jeho kvalita srovnatelná.

Prachtige fles maar wat tegenvallende vlakke geur. Lang naar deze rum uitgekeken door z’n goede reputatie, maar echt top wordt ie nooit voor mij. Niet uitgesproken genoeg wellicht, kan er de vinger niet opleggen. Hele smakelijke maar geen topfavoriet.

I was expected way much more from this Rum.
When I was given one bottle I was very exited so greater was my deception.
Good nose but the ethanol is too strong to really appreciate the aromas, which seems interesting passed the ethanol. I read it in some previous comments, not all, so maybe it is not an issue on all the bottles.

I first tried this in Florida and have had it several times since. Maybe it was the beach atmosphere or the nice plantain and oak flavor, either way I love this rum!
