Santa Teresa 1796 Arabica Coffee Cask Finish Rum (75cl, 46%)

A Venezuelan rum from Santa Teresa, the limited second release in the Cask Finish Series from July 2024. It takes the triple-aged Solera 1796 and finishes it for three months in American white oak casks seasoned with the estate's own Arabica coffee, in a 750ml bottle at 46% ABV. No coffee is added to the rum. Organically grown, medium-roast Arabica beans from Hacienda Santa Teresa are cold-brewed with 4-year-old rum instead of water, that brew rests six months in oak, and the Solera rum finishes in those coffee-seasoned casks. Hacienda Santa Teresa has made rum in Venezuela's Aragua Valley since 1796. The glass shows reddish-amber colour. The nose shows fresh-brewed coffee, cocoa, charred wood, vanilla and toasted almonds. The palate is a rich, earthy harmony of coffee, brown sugar, cocoa nibs, tobacco and dried fruit. The finish is deep and smooth, with cocoa, coffee and oak.
