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.

This is a great rum, especiall...

This is a great rum, especially for the price! Nose is wonderful. Finish is better than expected based on other reviews. You've got to be patient. It's not bold and lingering, but it's there. Very easy to drink. Good, sweet flavors. Vanilla, oak, heavy caramel to me. I really like this rum, neat is best in my opinion. If you want a sweeter, easy drinking rum without a bitter aftertaste, this is for you. Cheers! KP from NC

I have found this a bit bland....

I have found this a bit bland. The nose is promising, very vanilla, very caramel. Seems legit, structured and balanced. Seems well worth the price which is btw very low. In the mouth tho it is very underwhelming, almost like watered down. There is almost no aftertaste which one would expect when it comes to this age statement. I think if you are searching for something this bottle is promising, you will be better of with adding a few bucks and trying some expressions from Plantation

It's Alright, I Guess

A very nice and affordable rum...

A very nice and affordable rum. Works well alone, but also great with cola and lime at least.

The nose is sweet of brown sug...

The nose is sweet of brown sugar as is the first second on the tongue. I don’t get the caramel or the wood on the front end of the Flaviar spiral. After a few seconds it’s all alcohol of a young rum. Solaré does not mean it’s well aged; it means there is one molecule of 15 year aged rum in there somewhere. The wood sense comes to me a full minute after swallowing. There are more rounded non-solaré rums for the same or less money.
