Description
Established in 1872 in Santiago de Cuba, Matusalem has a storied history in rum production. The Gran Reserva 15 Year Old is a testament to the brand’s legacy, embodying the craftsmanship and tradition of Cuban rum-making. After relocating to the Dominican Republic following the Cuban Revolution, Matusalem continued to produce its signature rum using the Solera aging process. This method involves blending rums of various ages, with the youngest spirit being at least 15 years old, resulting in a harmonious and consistent product. The rum is aged in a combination of French Limousin oak casks and other selected barrels, imparting rich flavors and a smooth texture. On the nose, it presents aromas of dried fruits, caramel, and vanilla. The palate reveals a complex blend of tropical fruits, oak, and subtle spices, leading to a long and satisfying finish. With an alcohol content of 40% ABV, Matusalem 15 Year Old Gran Reserva Rum is a versatile spirit, perfect for sipping or enhancing classic cocktails like the Old Cuban. Its enduring popularity and esteemed reputation make it a distinguished choice for rum aficionados seeking a refined and authentic experience.
