How does this rum taste?
Most reviewers love how approachable the 1796 Solera Rum is, with its smooth blend of vanilla, caramel, and honey coming through both on the nose and palate. Many mention a hint of spice and light dried fruit, making it enjoyable neat, as a relaxed sipper after dinner, or as a classic mixer for cocktails like Old Fashioned. It's an easy recommendation for newcomers, and a solid choice if you want reliable, balanced flavor without intense sweetness.

No wonder this rum won the 2010 International Rum Expert Panel silwer medal. A great rum at an affordable price.
Rather a restrained, not too intense nose. Unfortunately also very weak and not very aromatic on the palate. Drier than expected, which I like, but also very thin and very watered down in terms of mouthfeel and, unfortunately, a certain alcoholic sharpness that doesn't quite want to go away. The finish reminds me more of strongly burnt, slightly bitter cookies... If it weren't for the alcoholic spiciness, 10-15 points more would certainly be possible here...
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.
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.
