This Matusalem 15 years is easy to drink. Not a lot of legs and a clear amber color. A little burn at the begining but quickly gone. There is almost no aftertaste. I like the shape of the bottle and its really nice sticker. Personaly, i'll put this one in the middle range of my ranking.

MATUSALEN 15. Another finished bottle, this one from Dominican Republic with high pride in Cuban heritage, this rum is 15 years solera style (NO REAL 15 YEARS OLD), they label this Rum as ”Super Premium” on their website but, it isn't a premium rum.  It really isn't. But as an alternative to the sweet entry level rums, it is okay.
Value for money is okay. Anyhow I only recommend buying it, if you want to try a lighter cuban style of rum, and have trouble finding other options. As for the sipping experience, in my opinion, you can find a lot of better rums in this price range

Rhum très rond, très sucré et très agréable en fin de repas !

Another gift at xmas. Loved it with ginger ale at New Years, but again, I'm sure I had a few by then. I do recall the overal smoothness and hints of oak. I was a bit surprised it was a 15 year because it didn't have the wow factor I could have had for a rum aged that long.

This is one of my favorite drinks. The taste is strong, smooth and very good. Excellent on ice or straight up. A bit expensive, not good enough for 15YO rum, but I wouldn't double mind to buy another of it for the collection.

A bit too smokey for me as i like my rums to be more on the sweet and smooth side. If i can remember there was a pretty harsh burn as well.

Very strong and powerful rum.
Soft round smooth attack with powerful long finish.

A bit disappointing for a up to 15 years old rums blend ...
