  Ron Matusalem 15 years Gran Reserva El ron de cuba Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865416-15

  The name Matusalem comes from the Bible's oldest man, Methuselah, and there is something fitting in that: a rum built on an ageing method that never quite stops.

  Expert description

  Ron Matusalem 15 Gran Reserva Solera is a Rum from the Dominican Republic, matured through the solera system and bottled at 40%.

  The rum comes from Matusalem, a house originally founded in Santiago de Cuba and now producing in the Dominican Republic. The solera system, originally borrowed from sherry and brandy production, means the number 15 is not a fixed minimum age for every drop, but a reflection of the average maturation level in an ongoing blend, where no more than a third of each cask is drawn off every three months and replaced with rum from the level above. The result is a rum with a deep, layered sweetness and a surprising complexity for its price bracket.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Woody notes, dry citrus and rich caramel.

  Palate

  Oak, tropical fruit such as banana and papaya, dates and raisins, seasoned with sweet baking spice.

  Finish

  Chocolate, caramel and a hint of citrus that fades gently.

  Ron Matusalem 15 Years Old Gran Reserva Solera Dark Rum 40%

  Item no.: 505956-498755

  The swallow in Matusalem's logo has followed the brand since 1888, back when founder Pablo Nonell had already introduced the solera system to Cuba, and Gran Reserva carries that legacy forward in its most mature form.

  Expert Description

  Ron Matusalem 15 Year Gran Reserva is a Dark Rum made using the solera system, bottled at 40%.

  The Matusalem brand was founded by Spanish immigrant Pablo Nonell, who opened his first distillery in Santiago de Cuba in 1872 and became one of the pioneers of the solera system in the Cuban rum industry. After Nonell, his nephews Enrique and Benjamin Camp took over the business, and later the Álvarez family came to lead it. Following legal disputes in the 1990s, production was firmly established in the Dominican Republic in 2016, where the brand is now sold in more than 70 countries. Gran Reserva 15 Year is one of the house's most mature releases, built on the solera's layers of multiple vintages of rum.

  The result is a deep, dark rum, where caramel and dried fruit meet a warm, rounded finish.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Caramel, dried fruit and a touch of vanilla.

  Palate

  Deep and rounded with brown sugar and light spice.

  Ron Matusalem 23 years Gran Reserva El ron de cuba Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865416-63

  There are several Matusalem expressions, but the 23 is the one that feels like a culmination, the ultimate statement of the house's solera philosophy.

  Expert description

  Ron Matusalem 23 Year Gran Reserva is a Rum from the Dominican Republic, matured through the solera system in French oak casks and bottled at 40%.

  The rum comes from Matusalem, a house founded in Santiago de Cuba that has produced in the Dominican Republic since the Cuban revolution in 1959. The number 23 refers to the oldest components in the solera blend, where rum of varying ages is continuously blended and drawn from the bottom casks. The use of French oak, unlike the more common American oak in the house's other expressions, gives this release an extra layer of elegance and complexity.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Caramel, toasted oak, coffee and banana, with fresh honey, crisp almond and cedar wood.

  Palate

  Smoothly balanced, with honey, vanilla and molasses, alongside roasted almonds and leather.

  Finish

  Spiced and long-lasting, lightly bittersweet, with dark chocolate, roasted nuts and baking spices such as cinnamon and cloves.

  Did you know?

  Matusalem is one of very few rum houses to use French oak rather than American in its oldest solera releases, a technique borrowed directly from cognac production and part of why the 23 comes across as more elegant than the younger Matusalem expressions.
