Give the gift of an exquisite Rum Old Fashioned…
The Santa Teresa 1796 Rum Old Fashioned Gift Pack is a revelation for cocktail lovers and wannabe bartenders.
Contains:
- Santa Teresa 1796 Rum 40% - 700ml
- The Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas’ Own Decanter Bitters 30% - 20ml
- Santa Teresa Jigger
To make the perfect Venezuelan Old Fashioned put one level teaspoon of sugar into a rocks glass and dissolve it with a dash of water. Add three drops of bitters; the ones in this gift pack are based on a recipe by Professor Jerry Thomas who is widely considered to the most important bartender of the 19th Century. Measure out 50ml of 1796 Rum in the golden Santa Teresa Jigger and pour it into the glass. Add lots of ice stir and garnish with a strip of orange peel pinched over the glass to release the oils before dropping it in.
We're also huge fans of a Christmas Pudding Old Fashioned at any time of the year. To make one simply combine 45ml of Santa Teresa 1796 Rum 5ml of maple syrup 5ml of cherry syrup (or Vestal’s Black Cherry Vodka) and a couple of dashes of bitters in a glass filled with ice and stir. Garnish with orange peel studded with a couple of cloves.
Venezuela’s Santa Teresa was founded in 1796. This bottling was first released in 1996 to celebrate their two centuries of rum making. Everyone fell in love with it – as demonstrated by gold medals at The Rum Masters and International Wine & Spirit Competition. Now it's become a permanent fixture in the range not to mention on many backbars and in many rum collections.
This old house takes column and pot still rum aged for between four and thirty-five years in Bourbon barrels blends them together and then further matures it through a solera system much like those employed in Sherry production. The solera system comprises a series of old barrels stacked on top of each other. Bottles are filled from the barrels at the bottom which contain the oldest spirit. The space is then topped up from the row above and so on and so on with the new blend filled into the gap at the top. This constant mixing results in huge complexity and a wonderful balance between the leathery 35-year-old components and the fresher 4-year-old rum in the blend.
Santa Teresa 1796 makes a delicious Old Fashioned allowing its honey smoothness and rich flavours of prunes praline buttery shortbread maple syrup Madeira flambéed banana leather baked apple dried and spiced Christmas cake fruit tobacco vanilla and cigar smoke to shine. Sometimes the old-fashioned ones are the best!
