Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-Year

This rum doesn't have a real good taste. Its flavour is mostrly covered by alcohol taste, but anyway has notes of molasses and a sweet aftertaste. I wouldn't recommend it as a good rum, but for its price it can be a good deal imho (you can find it for around 20 euros, which is the bare minimal for a decent rum). For starters, it's an ok choice.

Good memories with this one. Good for a Tuesday evening drink.

Love this rum! Very affordable, great balance, really nice! Will be always refilled.

Quite good rum with a good price/qualità ratio. Nice smell of vanille, long lasting in mouth, smooth. To much alcoholic at the beginning. After some minutes and warm up, It works Better.

Nice taste, but it doesn't make it in the Champions League

Sweeter rum, with dark colour and well balanced taste. But The rum taste is not intensive. Very good neutral taste rum.

První ochutnávka přináší velmi příjemný pocit, jak se postupně dostáváme z pevnosti měkkého, lehkého pálení k chuti citrusů a koření, následované karamelem a tmavým ovocem. Je to skoro jako bych pil dva rumy najednou – mladý a starý. Jak objevuji víc, cítim papriku, všehochuť a trochu prachové tóny dubu. Rum se trefuje do zadní strany krku chutí zralých švestek s náznakem čutní. Když se pozastavím, abych si mohl užít závěr, má ústa se zůstávají v pocitu radosti, a jak postupně mizí lehké tóny, vyplývá na povrch chuť koření na pečení a karamelizovaného cukru.

Golden spirit, quite industrial alcholic note. Solera aging, so nothing special at all... it is a very basic rum, I’ve tried both the cuban and the rest of the world version and the cuban one is slightly better. Very entry level and basic one, good choice only if you don’t have much money to spend since it has a good quality/cost range.

taste - 6/10
sweetness - 7/10
price/value rating - 6/10

Enjoyable to do drink. Very smooth with a slight molasses taste. Good to sip on or mix.
