SPIRIT OF SOUTH AMERICA

Santa Teresa Gran Reserva Añejo Rum

LCBO 545376, $30.95 Venezuela’s 200-year-old Santa Teresa distillery keeps innovation in mind. It makes the world’s first solera-style rum, crafted—like sherry—by gradually blending older rums with younger to create spirits like this blend, aged for up to five years in American oak. It’s silky smooth with caramel-spice notes—and it’s great on the rocks or with your favourite mix.
