The remaining ‘must’, which has an alcohol content of around 8% ABV, is then distilled, either using continuous column distillation or pot still distillation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery rum style Santa Teresa makes is aged separately in former American whiskey barrels. There are approximately 100,000 of these ageing at any given time. In Venezuela, alcohol must be rested in wood for at least two years – the longest rum ageing requirement in the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe distillery, which started life as a sugar cane plantation when it was founded back in 1796, is located in El Consejo within the fertile valley of Aragua. History buffs will have noticed at this point that Hacienda Santa Teresa actually predates the country’s fight for independence (which occurred in 1811). This essentially means that Santa Teresa as an estate is older than Venezuela as a country. The distillery itself was founded in 1826 by the husband and wife team of Gustav Julius Vollmer, an immigrant from Hamburg, and Panchita Ribas y Palacios who was the sole survivor of a family who were murdered in the Venezuelan battle for independence from Spain. They reinstated the sugarcane crop after its absence during the war and began producing aguardiente for locals. This action was to be the foundation of a family business that to date has lasted five generations. The Vollmer family still own and run the Santa Teresa Hacienda to this day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor much of its history, Santa Teresa has been beloved to Venezuelans, but the rum was rarely seen elsewhere. It took nearly sixty years before it was produced first at a commercial level, which sometime around 1885. When the brand was officially registered in 1909 it became the very first Venezuelan rum trademark and the country’s third trademark overall. International recognition was aided by a distribution deal with Bacardi Limited, which was penned in December 2016, making it the global importer for the brand outside of Venezuela.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1796\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo commemorate the Hacienda’s bicentennial in 1996, Alberto Vollmer Herrera, member of the 4th generation of the family, challenged the company to develop a rum that could leverage all of its mastery learned in the first 200 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSanta Teresa 1796 is a bold and elegant rum with blends up to 35 years aged in bourbon oak barrels, then further aged through the artisanal Solera method resulting in a dry, smooth and balanced rum.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNose: Caramel sweetness, toffee brittle, pepper.
