The story behind it

The maker

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.

How it is made

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.
