Santa Teresa 1796 Antiguo de Solera Rum (40%)

A Venezuelan solera rum from Hacienda Santa Teresa, blending rums of different ages. Distillates in the blend have matured for up to 35 years in former Bourbon barrels of American white oak. The result is a soft rum with balance between sweetness, spice and wood. The nose shows dried plums, vanilla and dried fruits. The palate has a silky texture with roasted almonds, dark chocolate and raisins, alongside leather, tobacco and fine oak spice. The finish is long and dry, carried by spicy wood notes. It is suited to drinking neat, over a large ice cube, or in rum cocktails such as a Rum Old Fashioned.
