Santa Teresa 1796 Rum

A nice rum to sip neat. Sweet with strong woody notes followed by a suggestion of butterscotch and fruit. Would make a nice gift but it's a little on the expensive end.

The ideal sipping ron. If you think Diplomatico is now too sweet and flat, give Santa Teresa 1796 a try. I find it quite similar in style to the popular Venezuelan rum, but with much less sugar and some added complexity from the solera aging process. You get the same honey, butterscotch, and chocolate notes, but with more nuts, dried fruits, and a touch of smoky oak. Strikes a great balance between all facets to remain approachable, yet interesting with every sip. My favorite Latin style rum to date.

It is an excellent rum to drink with a couple of ice cubes. It is a must.

Good sipping rum
