Matusalem Clasico 10-Year

Hard to rate...room temperature to much of alcohol in taste...even cold....even on the rocks...still to strong alcohol fragrance...But on the end you can feel nice, sweet caramel.

A well rounded,often well blended,smooth rum,as close to the Cuban style rums that you can buy in the U.S.A. without having to cross the border. Very drinkable on it's own.Usually has a slightly sweet taste with a light barrel char.I actually like it better than their 15 or 18 year expressions which are less sweet.One thing that I have definitely noticed is the lack of consistancy though.One bottle will have a heavy,harsh,whisky taste,while a different batch will be sweet and mild...Seems like they are relying more on a brand name than a dependable product to generate repeat sales.

Good
Taste smooth
Nice color. Nice nice nice nice nice nice some text for 50 char

This rum has a light yellow/golden colour to it along with a pleasant caramel smell. Sipping it is too harsh for my liking, although I do like the mild syrupy sweet aftertaste on my lips. Having just picked up a book on Rum (written by a whiskey guy), I went with his suggestion for drinking (some) Spanish Caribbean rums and tried it with a little clementine juice - wow - pretty good combo. I would rate this rum a 6.5, or higher if it had less of an alcohol smell and burn...

It starts off strong. There are some nice caramel aromas. The thing that gets me about this rum is the finish. Perhaps I am a novice rum drinker, but there is something harsh about the finish, which I don't like.I'll usually make a cocktail with this rum and avoid it for months only to question my earlier impression and try again. I'll have to try the 15

Rather sweet and floral perhaps a little sickly some similarity to a younger Pampero. Not impressive for its price point and if the youngest rum is 10 years old pigs have wings. Spirit of Cuba... no Dominican Republic, more false impressions. If you are after a light sweet floral rum this is good as a mixer. After 2 glasses I switched to something else after a couple it is sickly

It's drinkable. Not really interesting as a sipper.

A little harsh, but not too bad. Lots of spice, some toffee notes.

Its a good rum for the Cubas Libres, the people love it in the parties.

I like it. A little bit of sweet and very fruity. I prefer more young rums because the rum flavor. The older they are they smell more like burbon because the storage in burbon casks....
