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.

Strong smell of alcohol, vanilla is so strong that it feels sweet, very sweet, which is strange, because all hygrometer test results were 0. Vanilla flavor might be artificial. The finish is very flat. It is pleasant in the mouth if you like a vanilla taste (which I don't).

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.

bon rhum mais dans la même gamme de prix lui préférer l'abuelo 12 ans qui est vraiment meilleur

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.

For a 15yo, the price is very reasonable. Too reasonable. Too commercial.
