Matusalem - Gran Reserva 15 Year Old

I agree with the other reviewers this is a nice smooth rum, tried it over ice and on its own I prefer it neat. Hints of caramel.

When it was time to buy another bottle of rum, I decided to try something new. It was a tough choice between the Matusalem Gran Reserva and R.L. Seales, but in the end I went for the Matusalem and I'm pleased that I did. It's not as complex as the Havana Club anejo 7, but it makes up for that by sheer smoothness. It goes down easy and lights a warm fire at the bottom of your throat. Repeated tasting will reveal a very sweet caramel flavour with an almost liquorice aftertaste. It's quite unusual compared to the more vanilla orientated rums I've tried in the past, but enjoyable. Perhaps not an all-time classic rum, but certainly a great effort, and extremely drinkable. Enjoy it straight without ice for full appreciation.

This is a stunning bottle of rum, Best served straight, no ice, accompanied with chocolate, mmmmm

This is a brilliant well rounded rum and sure to be a favourite to anyone dicovering it. I like its slowly developing taste as it swirls in your mouth there is a complexity about it that takes several glasses to fully appreciate and I well reccommend it to all serious rum drinkers.
