Santa Teresa1796 Ron Antiguo de SoleraType: Premium Aged Rum Tasting Notes: Santa Teresa 1796 Ron Antiguo de Solera Toasty aromas of caramel, almond butter, cotton candy and very old oak are followed by saddle leather, vanilla, Sherry and dark caramel. Palate entry is perfectly balanced and sweet; by mid-palate the flavor profile is honeyed, slightly cocoa-like, buttery to the feel and utterly decadent. Finishes long, layered, creamy and dark chocolate bittersweet. Best Buy. Other Notes: Master of rums and the flagship of the house, Santa Teresa 1796 results from a careful blend of Santa Teresa’s finest aged spirits ranging from 4 to 35 years that is then further aged in a style borrowed from the Spanish sherry producers. Santa Teresa 1796 is the first premium añejo rum in the world to be aged in the Solera method: a cascade process in four levels of oak barrels that combines barrel ageing and cask "crianzas". The blend of añejo (aged) rums enters the top barrels and is aged until it reaches a desired level of maturity. Half of the contents of the top barrels are then transferred to the oak barrels below that have also had half of their contents removed and transferred to the barrels below and so on until the fourth set of barrels. When the cascade is concluded, the golden liquid is transferred to large Limousin oak casks that, again, are only ever half emptied thus producing an even softer and rounder rum. This system is unique in Venezuela and the Rum industry. Quite possibly the best rum in the world! Wine & Spirits - Best Rum of the Year 2003! Rhum Orange - LiqueurType: Rum Liqueur Tasting Notes: Splendid golden amber color, its fragrant aromas reveal the scent of oranges. Other Notes: A rum liqueur, Rhum Orange is the perfect blending of the finest rums aged for at least 2 years with an exquisite orange peel maceration. Fantastic after a meal on the rocks or blended in cocktails. Substitute for Triple Sec in your next Margarita! 91 points –Beverage Tasting Institute 2005 Review Gran ReservaType: Aged rum Notes: 2-year old rum. This golden hued añejo has aromatic, spicy notes with brown sugar, molasses, dark caramel and a touch of mineral. Initial palate sensation is soft, slightly sweet showing fruit, woody vanilla and light honey. Graceful, firm bittersweet finish of brown sugar and spice. May, 2005 Wine Enthusiast Magazine – 90-95 points!!! Highly Recommended! Arakú - Coffee LiqueurType: Coffee liqueur Tasting Notes: Fine tropical spices and a touch of the purest cane sugar are then added to this combination, creating a golden mahogany, voluptuous and aromatic liqueur with a firm velvety and definitely sensual body. Other Notes: This mestizo liqueur of rum and coffee is the result of mixing the Santa Teresa rums, aged for at least 2 years in barrels of American White Oak, with a strong concentration of coffee from Santa Teresa’s own coffee plantation. |
