The award-winning Ron Santa Teresa is an independent family-owned company, built on more than 200 years of tradition.

The Hacienda is located in the Valleys of Aragua, in the heart of Venezuela and under the direction of the family's fifth generation the Hacienda produces, blends and ages luxury rums.

These finest aged rums include the delicious 1796, which uses the age-old 'Solera' method to bring out its unique flavour.

Santa Teresa 1796
One of the secrets to this very special rum is the age old 'Solera' method used for centuries by Spain's brandy and sherry producers. This selection includes carefully aged rums some of which are 35 years old, providing its deep amber colour.

Arakú
This mestizo liqueur of rum and coffee is the result of combining Santa Teresa rums, aged for two years in oak barrels, with a refined yet powerful coffee infusion. Tremendous as a solo performer as well as in countless cocktails and desserts.

Claro
Santa Teresa Claro is the result of a combination of rums, aged in oak barrels and casks for two to five years. A white rum, non-filtered to keep its fruity aroma and flavour. This is a complex, aromatic rum, light firm-bodied, clean and smooth on the palate. Ideal for mixing in cocktails and daiquiris, it also marries well with fresh fruit juices.

Gran Reserva
A product of the ingenious blending of first quality rums, aged in oak barrels and casks up to five years, Gran Reserva has an aromatic bouquet. On the palate it yields soft warmth that is fruity and woody. Its body is light and silky with a firm and distinct finish. Ideal for mixing with fruit juices and soft drinks.

Rhum Orange Liqueur
This is the ultimate blending of superb two year old rums, steeped in an exquisite maceration of orange peels. A brilliant amber-orange colour, it fills the nose with scents of fruit and spice notes. Out of the freezer, straight up or over crushed ice, it is a wonderfully mixable.

Selecto
Its satiny body is due to the blend of first class rums, aged for up to ten years. The ageing in oak hogsheads gives it the splendour of its characteristic golden colour and vanilla-wood aroma, making Selecto robust, complex on the palate and consistent to the end. Ideal for premium cocktails and accompanied with still, sparkling or tonic water.
