Santa Teresa Unveils New Look for Its Flagship Rum

Published by

Santa Teresa has introduced a bold new look for its flagship rum, Santa Teresa 1796. The Venezuela-based distiller, distributed internationally by Bacardi, has redesigned the packaging while keeping the liquid unchanged. This update reflects the brand’s rich history and commitment to craftsmanship.

A Tribute to Tradition in a New Design

The refreshed design includes a redesigned canister and a rosette top, both elements that honor Santa Teresa’s heritage. The most noticeable change appears on the 70cl bottle, where the brand name stands out in blue instead of gold. Additionally, the number 1796 has been enlarged to emphasize the rum’s legacy.

Expanding the Portfolio with Innovation

Santa Teresa continues to innovate beyond its flagship rum. Five months ago, the brand introduced the Arabica Coffee Cask Finish edition. This limited release features rum finished for three months in American oak barrels previously used to age four-year-old rum infused with ground Arabica coffee beans. This launch demonstrates Santa Teresa’s dedication to crafting unique and high-quality expressions.

Commitment to Social Impact

Beyond its exceptional rum, Santa Teresa remains deeply invested in social responsibility. In 2023, the brand amplified its Project Alcatraz initiative through a global marketing campaign. This long-standing program, running for over 20 years, focuses on social reintegration while also highlighting Santa Teresa’s sourcing and production processes.

A Fresh Look with the Same Exceptional Taste

While the packaging has evolved, Santa Teresa 1796 maintains its renowned flavor profile. This latest update ensures that the brand continues to stand out on shelves while preserving the authenticity and craftsmanship that have defined Santa Teresa for generations.
