SANTA TERESA 1796 Cacao Cask Finish 43% - Clos des Spiritueux
A true emblem of Venezuelan know-how, the Santa Teresa 1796 vintage offers a refined expression of traditional Hispanic rum. Thanks to perfect mastery of fermentation, precise distillation, and long aging using the solera system, this rum develops a silky and complex aromatic profile, marked by a subtle freshness. The Cacao Cask Finish edition adds a gourmet and elegant note, while respecting the unique identity of the Santa Teresa rum house.
The Santa Teresa 1796 Cacao Cask Finish blends molasses rums that have been aged for a long time and then refined for several months in barrels that have contained noble ingredients derived from the cocoa bean. These barrels, carefully infused with cocoa aromas, bring a praline and spicy dimension without ever masking the finesse of the rum. Bottled at 43%, this rum offers a beautiful aromatic intensity and a silky texture. A limited edition launched in 2025 in France, this Santa Teresa 1796 Cacao Cask Finish is available in exclusive quantities on Clos des Spiritueux depending on our arrivals.
On the nose, this rum reveals delicate aromas of cocoa, orange peel, and fresh vanilla, enhanced by notes of toasted walnuts, delicate honey, and a subtle hint of blond tobacco. The palate, broad and elegant, reveals flavors of crème brûlée, refined molasses, and roasted hazelnut, balanced by nuances of sweet coffee and baking spices. The long, harmonious finish combines milk chocolate, candied orange, and toasted wood for an exceptional sensory experience.
Enjoy neat between 16 and 18°C in a tulip glass, or over a large ice cube for a tight, precise mouthfeel. This rum is also an ideal base for your cocktails: Old Fashioned revisited with cocoa syrup and orange bitters, chocolatey El Presidente, or balanced Espresso Rumtini. It pairs beautifully with chocolate fondant, pecan pie, roasted pineapple, or mature hard cheese.
