Santa Teresa 1796 Arabica Coffee Cask Finish (750ML)

A couple of years ago, Venezuela’s oldest rum producer, Santa Teresa introduced the Speyside Cask Finish Rum, a revolutionary step as it was the first new expression under the Santa Teresa label in 30 years. Now they're back with another unique edition, Coffee Cask, and it's magnificent. From the distillery, "Crafted with top-quality Arabica coffee beans, organically grown, roasted to a medium level, and ground coarsely under the guidance of the brand’s master distillers at Hacienda Santa Teresa, this single-estate masterpiece represents the first Venezuelan rum ever finished in coffee casks. The production process begins with the selection of premium Arabica coffee beans, which then go through a cold brew process with 4-year-old rums instead of water. This cold brew mixture is placed in selected American white oak barrels, where it rests for six months, allowing the barrel to add maturity and complexity while absorbing the rich coffee notes. At the end of this period, the cold brew is extracted, and Santa Teresa 1796, once it’s undergone its triple aging process through the unique Solera method, is introduced to the coffee-infused barrels. This final step, lasting three months, allows the rum to acquire subtle notes of coffee." Get what you can. ~Allegra A
