Triple aged rum through our unique Solera process

Santa Teresa 1796 is the first triple aged rum, with blends aged up to 35 years, through our unique Solera process. Every bottle of Santa Teresa 1796 has some of the very first Ron Madre (mother rum) running through it. Since we first filled the Solera casks in 1992, they have never been emptied.

The triple aging process:
1. Traditional aging: three types of alcohol; light, heavy and pot-still, are all aged separately from 4 -35 years. With their complex flavors and aromas, our Maestros Roneros carefully blend them to create our Santa Teresa 1796.
1) Light: wood, vanilla, clove, and other spices.
2) Heavy: apple, pear, banana, fermented fresh fruits, honey.
3) Pot Still: leather, dark chocolate, tobacco, rum cellar.

2. Solera Cask aging: Our Solera is a unique aging method, exclusively used for Santa Teresa 1796. It consists of a system of four rows of Hogshead barrels filled with rum, which cascade down one barrel to another, from top to bottom, until it reaches the ground, or suelo in Spanish, hence the name Solera. The result is a smooth and balanced rum since the Solera works as a delicate refining process that achieves something like a cotton shirt going through a journey that transforms it into a silk shirt. This magic happens because the barrels in the Solera are only half emptied and replenished with half of the barrel right above. Therefore, in each bottle, there is always a portion of that first blend created for its launch, the original Ron Madre from 1992, which ensures the consistency of the flavor over time.

3. Solera Vat aging: aged a third time in large vats made of French limousine oak, which are never emptied, achieving its distinctive smoothness and balance.

The craftsmanship of our Maestros Roneros

Nancy Duarte and Néstor Ortega who, with over 70 years of combined experience, created Santa Teresa 1796, a smooth and balanced rum with a very low sugar content of only 3 grams per 750ml bottle.

Artisanal process in every aspect

All the work behind Santa Teresa 1796 is a dedicated process that requires patience and determination. One of the craftsmen who does the waxing of the Santa Teresa 1796 bottles is José Cobi, a former criminal who has spent time in prison, and today is our expert craftsman lightly dipping the bottle in a cauldron with hot wax to seal the cork.

Welcome to the Hacienda Santa Teresa

The Hacienda Santa Teresa was founded in the Aragua Valleys of Venezuela in 1796, where it still stands to this day. It was first founded as a plantation growing coffee, cacao and sugar cane - the raw material used for rum. Our Hacienda is more than a home. It has withstood wars, revolutions, and invasions. Throughout our history, several events have allowed us to face adversities and rise to the challenge. This is a key element of the Santa Teresa mindset and continues to motivate us to produce the world’s best rums, all whilst making a positive impact within our community.

[H3]
A unique location

The Hacienda Santa Teresa has always been strategically located. It offers an abundancy of water, lush terrain, warm days and cold nights, all ideal for agricultural activities. It was the perfect location for maturing rum and growing sugarcane. The making of outstanding rums has become this country’s legacy over the ages.

Today, the Hacienda Santa Teresa is where all the magic happens. From harvesting the sugarcane to bottling our award-winning rum. The Aragua Valleys provide the perfect environmental conditions to age our remarkable liquid.

A family-owned rum distillery built on over 227 years of rum craftsmanship

Santa Teresa is the oldest family-owned rum company in Venezuela. In 1826, a young German merchant named Gustav Julius Vollmer arrived in Venezuela and met a woman of revolutionary blood named Panchita Rivas. Soon after, the two married, and the Vollmer Rivas family was born.

It’s currently operated by the 5th generation of the Vollmer family, the great-great grandsons of Gustav Julius.

After over 227 years, we have learned that greatness takes no shortcuts. That’s why we transform lives, and that’s how we make our rum in the Hacienda Santa Teresa.

Santa Teresa 1796: Great Rum, Greater Purpose

Over the past 227 years, Santa Teresa has always been committed to making a positive impact in its community. Undoubtedly, the most emblematic of Santa Teresa’s many initiatives emerged from danger and darkness.

In 2003, a group of gang members broke into the Hacienda and ambushed a security guard. The criminals were given two options: The choice to transform their lives and become an active force of the Santa Teresa Family or deal with the consequences of their actions at the hands of the law. The men accepted the offer and Project Alcatraz was born.

Project Alcatraz is a program, led by the Santa Teresa Foundation, that recruits criminal gangs, rehabilitates them, and reinserts them into society. It combines vocational training, the formation of values, psychological support, and the sport of rugby. Through rugby, they learn the values of respect, discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship, and humility - values that are key to transforming these lives with positive redirection.

To this day, Project Alcatraz has recruited 11 gangs with more than 200 former members, and the Project has programs that run across 35 Venezuelan prisons. The Project also has a prevention program that impacts more than 2,000 kids, teaching them important life lessons through rugby, every day at the Hacienda.

Since its initiation 20 years ago, Project Alcatraz has continued to work on crime prevention and the social reinsertion of former prisoners and gang members. To this day, it has accomplished:

● The dismantling of 11 criminal gangs in Venezuela, without the use of violence.
● The reintegration of 216 young men from these gangs into society.
● Presence in 21 male and 14 female penitentiary centers, with 71% of Venezuelan prisons embracing the discipline and values of rugby through Project Alcatraz.
● The establishment of the first female penitentiary rugby team in the world.
● With over 10 international awards for its work, Project Alcatraz has served as a case study in places like Harvard University.
