Matusalem Clasico 10-Year

I really liked the 15 but this one is not really close to it. Light colour , quite dry and sweetish , was okay to sip , bit of a burn , but like many middle of the road rums i thought it would make a good mixer... But not for me ! Don't know why but it just didn't gel for me , maybe it was my taste buds ? Will give it a second chance tonight...

Матусалем 10 классико -
Несколько приятней, чем матусалем 7.
Он жгуч, весьма, но и у него весьма выраженный вкус. В сравнении с матусалем 7 , у которого вкус менее выражен, но все так же жгуч, как и десятка.
За весь вечер дегустации не сумел уловить ничего особенного в этом напитке, говоря об это вкусе.
К слову запах, точно так же: несколько приятней чем матусалем 7, но все же при глубоком вдохе не очень приятно...
этот ром не для того что бы им наслаждаться и по истине смаковать его.
Я ставлю ему твёрдую 6, но не более.

Matusalem 7 : 5+
Matusalem 10 Classico : 6
Matusalem 15 : 7

Truly a high end drink for a discriminating rum connoisseur. A little high on the sweetness scale for me but it is a quality rum.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Dominikánská republika
Aroma: Dominující složkou je kůže, pak trocha vanilky a laku. Vůně je dost výrazná, to se mi líbí. (84 b)
Chuť: Příjemně nasládlý rum, vanilkový. Mísí se v něm jak jemnost, tak ostrost, která je znát zejména v dochuti. (82 b)
Body: 83
Shrnutí: V přímém souboji s kostarickým Centenario 9y Conmemorativo u mě vyhrál Matusalém díky lepší a výraznější vůni, v chuti byly oba rumy srovnatelné, s podobným chuťovým profilem.

smells sweet but a bit to sharp a bit to unnatural. Same Milky warm creamy ness to the rum that makes it like drinking delicate vanilla silk. Simple elegant and lush. I love I love it I love it. So smooth and sugary but still has a kick. All the matusalem are very similar but this and the white are best. Ever so slightly bitter aftertaste that would improve with a better quality. 9

This is a steady effort but doesn’t quite hit the spot. The sweetness is there but with a spiced finish that lacks some refinement

This a really good rum to always keep at home. Goes well neat, isn't sweet.

Lots of vanilla, some caramel, it is reasonably smooth and thats that. No aftertaste. No memories. Forgettable gold rum. There are better choices in this price range.

I was skeptical but I have been surprised before. I am not a fan of Solera finished rum and am not fond of Dominican rum either. This had 2 strikes right away. And no surprises. One taste and it was strike 3. Very forgettable. Very thin. No balance. I would have expected a little complexity from a 10 year old but all I tasted was that artificial solera aftertaste. I will try the 23 year old Gran Reservation but I am not expecting much.

Flavourful rum that is especially smooth for the price. Heavy hitter for its weight.
