This was first produced in Santiago de Cuba over 130 years ago. It is aged using the Solera process, so on average the rums contained herein are 15 years old.
I’ve been hesitant to try this rum for some time now but I recently bought a bottle and was pleasantly surprised
Matusalem 15 is a light bodied aromatic Cuban style rum. These type runs are made for sipping generally. The lighter body is great for warm and/or hot climates and days. Couple this with a good Cuban cigar and you will understand how and why it is. Are there more full bodied pungent rums? Of course there are and they are good for sipping as well but not so much to the Cuban common heritage. Give this rum a try sitting on a shaded terrace with nice breezes and close your eyes. You will be pleasantly surprised with the nuanced smoothness and slightly sweet undertones.
This rum is a very good rum complex and no sugar added!
$38 a bottle & it's 15yrs old? It's nice for beginners. It was my 1st & I thought the world of it till I ventured out. I won't be going here anymore. Theres just way better out there. You get what you pay for, most of the time.
On par with Zacapa. One of my favorites.
