Santa Teresa 1796

Santa Teresa 1796 Solera!
Quick review-

Product of Venezuela, made from a solera blend of rums aged 4 to 35 years then finished for an extra year in French oak casks.

On the nose I'm getting caramel, butterscotch vanilla and cherrie.

First sip- not too different from the nose. Lots of vanilla and molasses popping out. Subtle hints of almond and oak. Fairly smooth with a nice long lasting burn on the finish. Doesn't list this in the flavor profile but I'm tasting cherrie on the exhale.
I could see me keeping a bottle of this on deck at all times. Very good quality rum and not crazy expensive.
Na Zdrowie!! 🥃🥃✌

Had my sister pick a bottle up when she was traveling. Beautiful bottle popped the cork and was greeted with a wonderful almost familiar aroma wow ! Reminds me of Dictador 12 , I mix all my rums 1 shot rum 2 shots coke 2 shots water with two ice cubes and man does this rum feel nice in the throat very smooth very easy drinking . I recommend if you get a chance pick a bottle up and enjoy , note : my buddy drinks state on the rocks and loved this rum

Très bon rhum dans la classe moyenne, appréciable pour la routine.

One of my favorite rums but it disappears to fast! Truly a great rum that isn’t overpriced.

Aroma is sweet with charred wood.
Taste is smooth lightly sweet in the beginning. Hints of oak, caramel, vanilla.
Finish is mild and lightly bitter.

Need to retaste

And no added vanilla. In fact no added anything. Just a great, natural rum.
So you're drinking real rum here. Not sugared alcohol from certain other Venezuelan "rums".

Delicious, smooth, good good good good drink.
Have to say I feel dicky when I get into the flavour description but if you like the smooth notes and subtle complexities of the plantation 20th anivessary rum, you will like this!

If you're looking for a complex flavor in a dry aged rum, this is it.

Solera = complex aging technique that blends older and younger rums. Average age tastes like a 25 year in this bottle.

Santa Teresa gets good ratings so I tried. Its good, but for $35, there are much better rums. Not buying this one again unless I get for $20.

Really pleasant rum but with very short aftertaste.
