“Santa Teresa is considered the premium product from Venezuela compared to Diageo's Pampero and the eternally sweet Diplomatico/Botucal. Venezuela has its own style, which is rather strong for Spanish-style rums. Santa Teresa is probably the most elegant of the aforementioned rums, relying on an authentic solera process.Although the 1796 Solera also contains portions of heavy rums, the nose is very typical of Spanish style rums very light: little distillate, lots of wood and quite sweet caramel - much more lovely than the burnt bitternotes from Guyana. I also find something like coffee dissolved Nutella. In the mouth, the first thing I notice is the sweetness. There is definitely sugar in here. Otherwise, the profile is quite similar: coffee, milk chocolate, sweet caramel plus some coconut. Not unlike a sweet, light Foursquare. In the finish, the sugar glues the astringency shut, and the little bitterness that remains is immediately noticeable in a negative way.Compared to the Don Q Reserva 7, the Zuber in particular is noticeable in a negative way. Although the Santa Teresa is more powerful, the sweetness spoils the impression. It also lacks fruit to balance the wood.”

“A commercial Hispanic rum, classic and bland. The nose is soft, sweet, caramelized and vanilla, with some chocolate, sweet spices and a hint of dried fruits. In the mouth, we find a syrupy rum, diluted and without surprise. The trio of caramel, vanilla and chocolate dominate on a light profile with subtle woody and nutty notes.The finish is equally short and unmemorable.Terribly bland for a rum that has won several awards in various competitions. It's been a long time since I made such a short comment.”

“A rum that probably does not have the notoriety of eg Diplomatico (Botucal) or Ron Zacapo, but absolutely does not have to hide from these. Super price performance, no artificial flavors, comes across really honest. I like this rum very much.”

“Very pleasant nose. Lots of sweetness and a little wood. The palate is as sweet as expected but its not clogging. Think wood covered in caramel. The finish is shorter than i'd have liked but for the time it's with you it's got a nice dried fruit and biscuit notes to it. Overall, a good rum that would make a great gift.”

“Very nice rum, sweet with oak and barrel as its main ingredient. Retaste: Again the price for the bottle is ruining it for me. Absolutely not corresponding with what this rum offers. Do not get me wrong it is quite nice rum but a little bit dull and does not offer anything special or outstanding in the 👃 or 👅.”
