Matusalem Gran Reserva 23-Year

Of the Matusalem rums I've tried this is the best, but it doesn't really stand out against other rums...

I think this is good rum.
However, it get too smooth and gets bored.
I like Matusalem 15year more than this.

This is a complicated one. Very very dry and too short on the tongue. Let it develop in the glas for a few minutes to get at least some of the dry fruit flavours. Too expensive.

Står oöpnad.......................................

Za ty penize si umim koupit daleko lepsi. Neurazi ale nadseni ve me nevyvolal.

Len och lätt att dricka vill dock ha lite kraftigare smakupplevelse.

This is one good rum. Contrary to the 15 YO, this has a much smoother finish and sweetnes. Perfect for sipping

Jeg havde forventer mig mere af denne rom. Den er meget middelmådig både mht. smag og duft.

Til prisen (på tilbud) er den ok. Men der findes mange bedre og billigere rom.

Flot og stilfuld flaske og ok rom, ikke den helt stor eftersmag, men såmænd en fin smag.
Ikke et genkøb.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 23 Rum er en ok rom, men den når ikke Ron Zacapa 23, til sokkeholderne og den bliver ikke genkøbt.

Super nose, dry yet balanced rom. Closes very soft even though its not a sweet rum. 5/10 sweetness. Interesting flavours, lacks a bit in depth. And a cool bottle.

Tried the Ron Matusalem 23y, 10y and 7y back-to-back. The 23y has a very nice looking bottle, a bit tacky label, but still nice. Color is semi dark, smell is a tad strong but also very much artificial butterscotch. Not bad taste, but far from great. Struggles to earn a 6.

If you pop the cork and start sniffing, the strength of the spirit is quite overwelming. But if you let it breath for a minute or two, the caramel/vanilla really comes through. Quite a strong rum, with a bit of bite, but in a good way. Nice legs in the glass and a beautiful bottle. A little dry, but a nice sipping rum.

I had high expectations for this rum due to the good reviews. There is too much alcohol smell/burn than I expected for a rum in this price class. Even the taste failed, no long aftertaste and standard taste. Even after a half hour of breathing the alcohol taste was not gone. In 1 word: disappointed!

Den er rimelig til prisen men super begejstret er jeg nu ikke for den er lidt før sprittet.

Le nez comme le palais sont très discret. La rondeur en bouche est faible, tout comme la longueur. Un rhum agréable, frais, mais peut-être un peu trop léger pour un supposé 23 ans d'âge. Il est à noter qu'il est issu de solera.

It is not tasting bad - but it does taste a bit fake. Not much oak for all that age. Probably not even close to 23 years....More like 10.

Udemærket rom, men synes ikke der er noget specielt ift hvad man ellers kam få for samme penge

For something supposedly 23 years old the taste was surprisingly bland. I was kind of disappointed

Can you drink it without coke? Yes. Is it a GOOD rum? No. Not the best I've tasted, not the worst. Would l buy it again? Properly not.

Denne har jeg læst godt om, men den har ikke fanget mig! Jeg må prøve med et par dråber vand en dag, men indtil videre har den i min smag ikke været en succes.

It's a premium quality rum whit a medium sweetness and a kind of neat end on it

I found this rum boring, lack of taste and smell, would never buy this rum my self.

I didn't like this rum very much. Pretty boring taste actually,
