Matusalem Gran Reserva 23-Year

If you pop the cork and start sniffing, the strength of the spirit is quite overwelming. But if you let it breath for a minute or two, the caramel/vanilla really comes through. Quite a strong rum, with a bit of bite, but in a good way. Nice legs in the glass and a beautiful bottle. A little dry, but a nice sipping rum.

Good sipping rum, a little strong in the start but smooth at the finish.

Had heard a lot of bad reviews on this one, but decided to try it myself. Very nice nose and sweet tones. Easy to drink and smooth

rhum équilibré très parfumé, à déguster en début d'apéro pour en saisir toute la saveur !!

Super nose, dry yet balanced rom. Closes very soft even though its not a sweet rum. 5/10 sweetness. Interesting flavours, lacks a bit in depth. And a cool bottle.

Matusalem Gran Reserva 23 Rum er en ok rom, men den når ikke Ron Zacapa 23, til sokkeholderne og den bliver ikke genkøbt.

Avec de bons souvenirs du 15ans, je me dis que le 23 doit être encore bien meilleur. Mais désillusion, j'ai beau réessayer, je ne lui trouve rien d’exceptionnel. Pour un 23ans ses arômes sont fins, mais trop légers et écrasés par l'alcool.
Grosse décéption

This is a nice rum with notes of toffee and touch of banana. The problem is it lack that X factor to make it stand out from the pack. The small thing which makes you remember it long after the glass is empty. I would recommend to take quite big sips, as that allows you to get a better taste of the different notes.

But a little too dry for my taste. Good flavour but not much aftertaste. Very nice Smell.

Well it's better than its younger brother but its just not me. To dry for my taste.
