To mark the hacienda's bicentennial in 1996, Alberto Vollmer Herrera, of the fourth generation, challenged the company to create a rum that drew on everything it had learned in its first 200 years. The result was the world's first super-premium rum made using the solera method. The rum is a blend aged up to 35 years in bourbon oak barrels, with fermentation, distillation and blending all done on the estate using its own sugarcane and natural water, and every bottle is wax sealed by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly dry yet smooth and balanced, this amber rum opens with a fruity aroma and notes of wood, followed by vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate, hints of honey and a peppery finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hand-sealed bottle with its estate label makes it a handsome gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe solera method blends younger and older rums over time, building consistency and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dry finish sets it apart from sweeter aged rums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat in a tulip glass to enjoy the aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single large ice cube softens it for slow sipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes an excellent rum Old Fashioned with a touch of demerara syrup and bitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with a fine cigar for a classic after-dinner ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruity, with wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate, honey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry and peppery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hacienda Santa Teresa, est. 1796\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-estate solera rum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solera blend aged up to 35 years in bourbon oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aragua Valley, Venezuela\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or on a large cube, or stir a rum Old Fashioned.
