Matusalem 15 years old

Matusalem 15 years old 1600 900 John Jeremy

The Matusalem 15 years old “Gran Reserva” is a Dominican rum. The 15 years shown on the label are calculated with the Solera method. It is therefore a blend of rum in which there is the presence of rums aged for 15 years. This brand was initially produced in Cuba at the Matusalem distillery, but after the Cuban revolution, the production moved to the Dominican Republic, where it still takes place today. This bottling is easy to find and belongs to the middle range of the brand. There is also an 18 years old and a 25 years old Matusalem.

  • Type: Rum

TASTING NOTES – MATUSALEM 15 YEARS OLD

Nose

Vanilla and spicy notes (in particular white pepper) are perceivable since the beginning. Then it is the time of rich candied fruit aromas, that complete the aromatic palette.

Palate

Very sweet. It develops mellow notes, together with vanilla, wood and cocoa. In the background are perceivable also piquant hints. An aroma of tropical fruits (especially mango and pineapple) is perceivable as well.

Finish

Medium short persistence. Sweet, with notes of wood and spices (white pepper).

Overall, the Matusalem 15 years old is a quite harmonious rum, equipped with a decent flavor profile. It is not particularly structured, but it is enjoyable and easy to appreciate.
