Venezuela's Oldest Rum Estate, in an Everyday Anejo
Hacienda Santa Teresa, founded in 1796, is Venezuela's oldest rum producer, and the estate still grows and harvests its own sugar cane in the Aragua Valley. Gran Reserva is the hacienda's house anejo: rums distilled from that estate molasses, rested two to five years in oak, and blended for smoothness and fruit — the approachable end of the range, a step below the flagship Santa Teresa 1796, and the bottle the estate itself points to for cocktails.

Tasting Notes
Rich and fruity on the nose — sugar cane, tropical fruit and spice over vanilla — then a mild, aromatic palate of caramel, fruit and a hint of vanilla with gentle oak, finishing long and fruity with woody spice.
How to Enjoy
Built for mixing and easy sipping alike: a proper Cuba Libre, a rum Old Fashioned, a Daiquiri with a little oak behind it, or simply over a big cube where the caramel and fruit can show. It is the natural step up from white rum in a Mojito or rum punch.
