A bit too subtitle, but pretty much delicious. Strong vanilla with some exotic fruits. One of the best out of not expensive rums. Thanks Matusalem!
Nice rim with craft ice. Mellows out fast but quite enjoyable. Don’t wait too long as it weakens fast.

I had a couple of spanish style soleras before and this one fits in quite good. Very drinkable for beginners and for everybody else. Good midrange rum.

Tohle pro mě bylo zklamání .Silně nadhodnocený. Chuť je moc řídká, alkoholová.

Denna var tyvärr en besvikelse för mina smaklökar. Alldeles för tunn i smaken och med alldeles för mycket spritsmak. Helt ok eftersmak men alldeles för lite sötma.

This the one of the best ratio price/quality rums I ever drink.

Was at an all-inclusive resort and this caught my eye. Needless to say, i finished the bottle and made sure to grab one before coming back to the states. Very solid for the price (I paid about 35$).

Výborný rum na pohodové chvíle s přáteli. Vůně po vanilce a maslovém karamelu, se špetkou dubu a rašeliny. V pozadí jsou cítit sušené meruňky. Chuťově dost podobný rumu Abuelo Gran Reserva 12, ale není tak nakyslý. Dobré pití za dobrou cenu.

Big disappointing just because i had big expectations but its still a good one , little bit overpriced.
It's a seven but at that price it deserves a 6.

One of my favorite things about Matusalem is how they enjoy reminding us of their great history, which begin in Cuba. They have awesome ads and really do a good job of getting you excited. Now, we all know, when these rum companies spend millions of dollars on advertising, that they are trying to over compensate for their lack of complexity / taste or they want us to know that their brand is for making frozen cocktails.
Matusalem is a stupendous, refined rum that is slightly above average sipper and mixer. It's beautiful in everyday - beautiful bottle, color, smell - but to be honest, I've used it more to spice up ice cream, milkshakes and cake, than make a cocktail out of it. At about $35 a pop, I'd personally still buy it because it's one of a kind: smooth, light, fragrant. I would recommend trying it as a digestif, instead of the typical port wine. But hey, if I could, I would replace every beverage with rum.
