Santa Teresa 1796 Solera Rum

Hacienda Santa Teresa

A rugby ball next to a hundred-year-old still. The sounds emanating from a distillery mixed with the commotion of an ongoing game. A worker taking a break to play rugby. There is no doubt that Hacienda Santa Teresa is an extraordinary place. Hacienda Santa Teresa At Hacienda Santa Teresa we could've opted for not aging every single one of our rums in American white oak and French Limousin oak barrels for more than 25 years or not using our Solera System. But had we gone that route, our life wouldn't be as fun and our rum wouldn't be as great. It takes 24 hours to transport the sugar cane from our fields to the Sugar Processing Plant to safeguard its qualities. After it's processed, we obtain molasses-a dark and rich syrup used to produce our rums. Making rum requires teamwork. And the fermentation process is no different. In this step, we rely heavily on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a species of yeast that allows a perfect fermentation inside our barrels, turning the sugar in the molasses into alcohol. Our rums are aged for a minimum of two years in American white oak or French limousin oak barrels. It's a long process that requires patience, but the rewarding results allow us to enjoy high-quality rums featuring an unparalleled flavor. It's not about aged rums or young rums. It's about finding that balance between one and the other. Almost like we do with life itself. This is how we do things in Santa Teresa. We bring together the best of both worlds: the vitality and spark of young rums with the character and stoutness of the aged ones.
