Matusalem Gran Reserva 23 is our ultra-premium rum — an extra-aged elegant liquid for the sophisticated palate. It is rich and smooth, with a burst of spices venturing in for a memorable finish. Matusalem Gran Reserva 23 brings together a distinctive mix of flavors made with a selection of the finest reserves of aged rum. Using the Solera system we combine mature spirits in oak barrels to create a rum that is unmistakably superior in quality, taste and smoothness. Today our rum is produced in the Dominican Republic using the same secret formula created by my family in 1872. Matusalem is truly considered one of the best rums in the world. Taste: Delightful smoothness, well balanced with traces of honey, vanilla and molasses with a spiced and lasting finish. Aroma: Complex yet refined and very elegant, with a strong finish of caramel, toasted oak, coffee, and banana.
