Master of rums and our flagship, Santa Teresa 1796 results from a careful blend of Santa Teresa's finest aged spirits, ranging from 4 to 35 years.

Santa Teresa 1796 is the first of the premium añejo rums in the world to be aged in the old Solera that combines barrel and cask "crianzas", followed by a cascade process. These factors, along with the lightness ensured by good aging, provide it with a mature body and turn 1796 into an exceptional product.
