Matusalem Gran Reserva 15-year rum is produced using a combination of rums aged on average 15 years and distilled from molasses using the solera process.
The Matusalem company was established in 1872 originally in Santiago de Cuba. The company fled the country following the Cuban Revolution in 1959 and the Gran Reserva rum is now produced in the Dominican Republic.

I started my rum hobby with this one and I have a special relation ship to it. I even offered it at my wedding in stead of cognac and a lot of people tried their first sipping rums with the 15 yo Matusalem as well. It is in no means a bad rum, but in retrospect after tasting so many good rums this can't hold up to many standards. It is not smooth not balanced and burns in the finish. It still has some charm and is still too good to be a mixer. It is priced reasonable, therefore still worth a 7.
To much ethanol taste and not overly complex.
Decent for sipping but there are better ones out there.
Very hot, average flavors, and too hot of a finish. Not worth your time.

I admit I have not had the opportunity to try an actual Cuban rum. Maybe those days are over as the US thaw's our relationship with that island country. I want to know if reality of rums and cigars are as good as the mystique. I liked this and the 18 year very much.
Lui, j'ai du mal a finir la bouteille.
Il n'est pas mauvais, mais il est trop fort en bouche pour moi. Je préfère les rhums plus doux et plus parfumés.
trop d'alcool sur le palais, manque de longueur et de caractère.
il faut privilégier le 23 ans pour se faire vraiment plaisir.
It does what it can do, but It just wont ever be "up there". I like the older brother for beeing different than many other rums, even though its still not up there. But this is something funny in between.
Nose: Vanilla, Dried fruit (maybe figns?)
Taste. Too much alcohol for my liking, yet some caramel and sweetness after.
Aftertaste: Short and semi-dry.
All in all drinkable, but wont be a rebuy on my account. Would imagine this would be really good in drinks though. But my ratings are as always, as a sipper.
I know the solera system but this solera 15 did not meet any of my expectations when looking for a sipping rum. Its thin and leaves a strong alcohol flavor (the harshness is well received on average by Cubans but is not my thing). I suppose this matusalem will be good for mixing but for the price ~44CAD in Ontario, Canada is not worth for such purpose. Next!...
Agree with most reviewers on this site. Drinkable but in middle of the pack.
Smooth and very well blended.
"The aftertaste is quite spicy and hot. Not in an alcohol burn way."

I didn't have high expectations but this one was so balanced that I just grabbed the bottle and basically ran away with it. Very good harmony of typical rum notes. Nothing jumping out, just very balanced. And for that I rate it highly.
