A Venezuelan ron from Santa Teresa finished in a cacao cask, sweet and chocolate-heavy with coffee, orange and dried fruit over an oily base, bottled at 43%, a rich dessert-leaning pour that reads as a chocolate bomb.
Description
This 1796 Chao Cacao Cask is a special edition from Santa Teresa, the Venezuelan house known for its solera aged 1796 and its smooth, dessert-leaning DOC style. Here the signature ron is given a cacao cask treatment that pushes the chocolate character to the fore, a themed release rather than a standard bottling.
Built on a molasses base and finished in cacao wood at 43%, it is sweet and chocolate-led from nose to finish, with coffee, orange and dried fruit alongside an oily texture on the palate. The cacao cask makes it read as a genuine chocolate bomb, sweet and indulgent rather than dry or restrained. This is firmly in the rich, after-dinner category, best enjoyed by those who want an overtly chocolatey, sweet Venezuelan ron and not those seeking a lean or spirit-forward style.
