Matusalem 7-Year

A pretty bottle of 1970s design. Vanilla is too much in the fragrance. Pleasure from taste no: alcohol and bitter herbs. The aftertaste does not please, but does not upset. Quality moderate booze.

I'm really not sure if I tried the 7 or 10 yo version (probably 7), but I remember it harsh, not smooth, drinkable in a Cuba Libre yes, but like HC7, not a choice I would repeat if I could have a different one.

Perfekt att använda som en drickingrediens. Inte någon favorit att avnjuta som en avec men klart en helt ok rom.

Had a very untasteful experience with this one. Not my thing.

Sweet with taste of vanilla and fudge.
My favourite dark rum for grogs.
I often use it for Cuba Libre and Fidel Castro :-)

Ok per shottini o in qualche cocktail, nient'altro da aggiungere

I tried it in a bar with ice. When i got the rum the ice was melted.
I think it would be better without the ice.
so it was a bit out of character

Not too complicated and easy to drink.
Sweet and vanilla forward.
I tried it in a pub where the other option was a Kraken Black Spiced for more money...
Definitely this wins!

manufactured by Matusalem & Co (Dominican Republic).
in fact, this rum is not bad, but not interesting at all for +- experienced drinker. especially for its price and the number 7 on the label (yes, i remember it's solera, but still). very subtle fragrance, I hardly smell anything. they say vanilla? well, ok... the taste is the same: smooth, pleasant, a little sweeter than I would like (but not cloying), but, again, nothing interesting. recomended as a first-second step to the world of real rum. but I wouldn't buy it again even like a "every day rum" because of its price.

Gyenge minőségű rum, többet nem nagyon írni róla. :-)
