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.

Recommended for everyday siping. Possible to have it for better price, than similar rums. Nice, but nothing special.

J'ai offert (puis goûté!) cette bouteille il y a 2 ans.
Ce rhum est agréable à boire mais ses arômes manquent d'ampleur pour un 15 ans.
Pas un incontournable.

Lidt for kedelig og klart overvurderet rom. Prisen er for høj til smagen.

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.
