It is a limited-edition rum crafted using Santa Teresa’s signature triple-aged Solera method. After this traditional aging process, the rum is aged an additional 13 months in Speyside whisky casks, combining the richness of fine rum with the distinctive notes of Scotch whisky.
The Speyside Whisky Cask Finish expression goes through four different oak barrels during its aging journey. This unique process results in a rich and balanced flavor profile, offering elements from both rum and whisky. The limited-edition nature also adds an air of exclusivity to the product.
The Solera method is a system of stacking barrels in tiers, where the rum from older barrels is mixed with younger rums as it moves down through the layers. This ensures consistency and complexity in every bottle, as the rum from the lowest tier is always a blend of various ages and profiles. Santa Teresa has been using this method since 1992, and each bottle contains some of the original "mother rum" from that year.
