Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-Year

Bár a 15 év érlelést nem nagyon vettem észre rajta, számomra ez egy kimondottan finom, önmagában is könnyedén iható, nagyszerű rum. Nem is drága, abszolút megéri az árát!

6,5:On the nose, we have vanilla, butter,caramel and a very light coffee note.
7,5:On the palate, it is only slightly sweet, characterized mainly by a caramel aroma, vanilla, spice, some fruitiness-peach and subtle hints of wood.
7:The moderately long finish again features caramel and vanilla aromas.

My first impression was that this was a whisky stored on rum barrels. Th taste is sharpe and nit the rum taste i aspected
Would not buy this again

Nice dark rum, with a hint of caramel. Works well on its own. Haven't tried it with cola yet

My brief first impression review: Deep rich oak molasses come to the nose, hints of a heavy body, however on the tongue the molasses and toffee dominate but the promise of robust body was not really fulfilled, hints of caramel and coconut but only enough to wish there were more of them. finish is medium but rushing the next sip. perhaps it is bit too thin to my palate preference, i didn't forget it is a 15 year Solera, so i must compare it to others in this league, it is clearly not an average of 15 years, not by taste, i would not dare to compare it's depth and average maturity to anything aged more than 6-8 years. and Botran 15 is quite a good example of similar solera method with slightly more bodied result.
Rating at first Impression is 7.5/10, but i promised myself to return to a full bottle in the near future and reconsider.

Distinguished rum with a blend of caramel, vanilla, and spice. Velvety texture, long-lasting finish.

Got this as a present and was optimistic, but this does not have a lot of aroma... Okay for a mixed drink but not pure.

Dominikánska solera o sile 40% je balená v sympatickej fľaške z tmavého skla, farba je klasická zlatohnedá. Vôňa je príjemná karamelovo-dubová, s ľahkým alkoholovým štípancom. Chuťovo mi príde trochu drsnejší a ostrejší, tónovo je však vyladený zaujímavo, hoci nie je veľmi komplexný. Prevláda vanilka, drevo, karamel, koža, pozitívne vnímam menší obsah cukru, ako býva pri tomto type rumu obvyklé. Záver je trocha dlhší, ako som pôvodne čakal, tu už vystupujú trocha horkasté tóny a na jazyku zostáva etanolový dojazd. Tento rum ničím neurazí, ani nezaujme ničím svojským, na bežný deň je však úplne v pohode. Vzhľadom k priaznivej cene do 25€ hodnotím subjektívnou silnou šestkou.
24,20€

I gave this rum several shots but it never proved drinkable to me. Too much ethanol-like smell. Some fruits in taste. We used it for grog with a lot of spices like cinnamon, badian, etc. (And btw, the grog was great.)

I assumed it was better
When i was in Santiago Cuba. They drank this 15jear.
Thats why I was curious and bought it..

Mwaaaa..
