Matusalem
Gran Reserva 23 Year Aged Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Dominican Republic
Alcohol: 40%
Brilliant bronze color. Aromas and flavors of book-pressed flowers, ripe banana tree, cocoa-dusted dark roasted nuts and oranges, and creme brulee with tropical fruit compote with a satiny, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, very long finish with accents of roasted coconut milk in a copper mug, waffles with peach-pepper jam, sweet and peppery spices, and sandalwood. A round and poised very-long-aged Rum with lovely integration of fruity cane and spicy barrel flavors; this is an easy choice for a fine sipping Rum.
