Rum Shark Santa Teresa Salto Angel (Edition T2V) Era of Discovery 2009

Sipped neat, this is a hot, cask-strength Venezuelan that trades polish for punch. Expect vanilla, dark chocolate, orange and honeyed sweetness up front, then a sharp, woody kick that catches a few tasters off guard. One member summed it up as "oranges and sugar on the nose, but very rough in mouth" — and still loved it. Reads dry-ish despite the sweet notes.

The community says
  • Orange and chocolate
  • Full-bodied flavor

The look inside the bottle

How does Rum Shark Santa Teresa Salto Angel (Edition T2V) Era of Discovery 2009 taste?

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Hot, cask-strength orange-and-chocolate sipper Most find it fuller and more interesting than the lighter 47% version, with real vanilla-chocolate-orange character. The catch: it runs hot and stinging, so the alcohol isn't for everyone.

Perfect for

Cask-strength fans who like a hot, orange-forward sipper

Pleasant rum, fuller and more flavorful compared to 47, more strength, a successful piece for evening sipping with cigars. Taste of vanilla, dark chocolate, orange, honeyed sweetness. Aroma - citrus, orange, honey scent.

13 years of tropical aging already gives a little hope for a good rum. The nose is sharp and smells of vanilla. On the palate very sweet and sharply woody. Very sharp. The finish is again sharp with vanilla and some wood.

Santa Teresa 

Avg Rating 7.4/10 24 Rums

Santa Teresa is Venezuela's oldest rum house, run by the fifth generation of the Vollmer family on a hacienda where Simon Bolivar once ratified the abolition of slavery. It distils on columns dating back to 1905 and a reinstated pot still, and ages its flagship 1796 in a solera running since 1992. Beyond the rum, it is known worldwide for Project Alcatraz, a gang-rehabilitation programme built on work and rugby.
