Santa Teresa 1796

I’ll start off by saying that this is a great rum. Not overly spectacular but worth picking up especially if you find it a discounted price. The fancy, eye catching packaging makes for a striking display but only adds to the price. I’ve been sitting here typing this, with it sitting beside me, and I smell yellow butterscotch hard candies and hint of cream sherry. Up close, those fragrances are pronounced with the addition touches of baking molasses cookies and a slight tropical floral note. In the mouth it starts off with sweet vanilla, brown sugar and baking spice with the development of wood, sherry and floral notes. Not very pronounced flavors and kind of a quick finish with a little sweetness, sherry and floral notes lingering on the lips and tongue. The spirit isn’t overly thick or thin and leaves nice long legs in the glass. Relatively smooth up front but the alcohol is a little hot at the finish. SUM:: A good clean sipper that isn’t overly sweet. However it’s a little underwhelming, and not very complex. Does have nice, mild sherry notes which I love. Drop the fancy packaging and knock $2-4 off the price and it’s a solid value. Cheers!

This is absolutely one of the best runs I've had. Great flavors, extremely smooth, not even the slightest bit of burn. I HIGHLY recommend this one to any that want a full flavored rum.

Tried it neat at the Laka Lono Rum Club (Omaha, NE) as part of their explorers club. It was very nice, a variety of flavors. Ended harsher than I’d care for but fruit and floral and maybe carmel up front. Not sweet, not medicine-y. Pretty amber-carmel color.

Très bon rhum sucré, facile à boire strait ou avec de la glace.

A great rum taste without much sharp taste. If you enjoy the wonderful flavour of rum this is a good rum for you. Very well balanced especially for the price point - this one is worth more.

A somewhat dryer, less sweet palate; definitely smell sweeter than it tastes. Also a relatively stronger burn. Still nice though, especially if you prefer this style.

This rum had everything i love in a rum. Very smooth, Sweet but not so much it masks the other flavors, same for the alcohol burn. It has a great aftertaste that keeps lingering andere continues tot show different subtle flavors. Great sipper!

I always thought this was too light for me, that it would be lost in a cocktail. Had a sip in an Old fashioned and it was great. Not so much in the Junglebird though! Smelt naturally sweet to me but surprised by the long and very dry finish. Others noted cacao and savoury notes!

un peu doux mais je lui trouve peu de goût , pas un mauvais rhum tout de même

Light amber colour
Not much nose.
Pleasant in the mouth but restrained aromas along a cognac.
Very dry 1/5
Gentle burn, aromas do not linger.

Nice if you like a decent brandy but pales against something like a Foursquare special cask edition.
