    "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 very mature and elegant rum that has a lot to offer for reasonable money. A positive example of solera matured rums in the Spanish style"

    "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."
