Coñac Cubano. 
 
The company first introduced Matusalem Rum in 1872 in Santiago de Cuba, it was known as the "Cognac of Rums". But after Castro gained control of the country the family producing it went into exile and after many years of inner turmoil the brand is today bottled in the city of Monte Plata in the Dominican Republic. The name Matusalem comes from a Spanish proverb "Esto es mas viejo que Matusalem" — or "It’s older than Methusalah" (an almost ageless 969 year-old from the Old Testament).
 
Matusalem Gran 15 Reserva Rum is a solera blended bottling made from molasses and aged for 15 years using the solera system in French oak casks.

Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.

Smooth sweet caramel flavour love it by the far best rum I ever had
 
Mat
Mat,
sweet caramel and vanilla aromas. really nice caramel flavour to this, lacks a bit of depth and complexity but given the price this is a really good value sipping rum.

Really great balance of spice and sweet with a very smooth finish. Great in rum-forward cocktails like a daiquiri

Good tasting rum that I use as mixing rum. No so great for sipping but a quality basic rum.
 
James

Good basic rum, not harsh and a nice aftertaste.

Nice flavour, a sweeter rum which is easy to drink. I think it is nice for people who enjoy, rum and people who are just getting into drinking rum.

Good strong taste, caramel and clove
 
Stefan

Sonny
Sonny,
really nice, smooth rum. the aging shows in the first taste but especially in the aftertaste. very prominent vanilla and caramel. great mixed but superb sipped neat or with an ice cube and a lime
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
Very fruitful flavoursome rum. Easy to drink, I can say it's one of my personal favourites, for me it's up there with Bumbu and Flor De Caña.
 
Markus

not sure if this was the thing to get me started with rum
 
Eric

Great and well balanced. Can’t beat for the price.
 
PIERI
PIERI,
sweet and spicy
 
Brian
Brian,
More complex than Havana, more subtle than Woods. It’s what spiced rums wished they tasted like.
 
Donna
Donna,
A wonderfully sweet rum. Great for sipping after dinner
 
Arthur
Arthur,
Having recently celebrated my 80th birthday and having received 6 bottles of malt whisky I haven’t had the chance to sample Writers Tears, Matusalem or the 3 sample whisky tasters.
 
Gary
Gary,
A very nice Old School Rum.
 
Emil
Emil,
A really nice rum! Sweet and easy to drink as is. A little boozy as is so i think it will be even nicer on the rocks.
 
Michael
Michael,
Very nice rum. Doesn't match up to my favorite, Larga Vida XO 2018, but that bottle will be empty soon.
 
Doug
Doug,
Nice molasses on the finish. Very tasty and with a nice complexity. For the price, I think this is definitely an above average rum that you can keep on hand easily.
 
Anders
Anders,
Ok
 
Bill
Bill,
Smooth, good caramel start, would agree that this would be good in a Cuba Libre, but lacks the punch to stand on its own.
 
Antti
Antti,
It is an outstanding, rich rum with a thick molasses finish!
