Founded in 1796, Hacienda Santa Teresa has weathered wars, revolutions, and economic crises under the stewardship of the Vollmer family. Today, the brand is notable not only for its world-class rums but also for Project Alcatraz, a social program that recruits and rehabilitates local gang members through rugby and vocational training.
Santa Teresa is crafted at a historic production estate in Venezuela's fertile Aragua Valley where sugar cane has been grown for over two centuries. The rum is aged in American oak barrels and finished using a complex artisanal solera system where younger rums are continuously married with older reserves.
