Enjoyable easy sipper. Not all that complex but has very good flavours on the exhale. Most of the flavours I found came at the back of the drink. Worth having in the cabinet.
Almost everyone complains about the booziness and sweetness. And within minutes out the bottle that is absolutely true.
Luckily, I waited for my ice ball to melt a little. Everything transformed. The smoothness others mention came to life. While it isn't the most complex, the body holds up well even as it mellows.
This is an underrated gem. A very nice rum for a relaxed evening.
En rom jeg tit tager frem hvis der er gæster. De fleste kan lide. Også selvom de ikke drikker rom normalt.
Aroma, colour just average. Taste mild - hard to feel something special but smooth for drinking.
Enjoyable. I just was 3 weeks in Diminican Republic and I've never seen a bottle of Matusalem. Only Barcelo, Brugal, Permudez, Opthimus, Cubaney, UNHIQ and Punta Cana in the local Shops and Bars
pas si sec que ca
nez léger orange caramel vanille
bouche assez doux mais pas sirupeux , légèrement anestesiant,
belle longueur , vive mais pas trop alcoolisée , subtil fruit confi
Well its ok for sipping, but there is nothing special on the palate just the average taste you would expect from a rum in this price class.
The first sipping rum I ever purchased. Nice and smooth. Not too sweet. One I'll happily go back to.
when you see nr.15 on the label, you would probably expect more. but its still good rum, with kind of stronger afterburn similar to 7-rated rums in my cabinet.
71/100

La 1ère "bonne bouteille" que j'ai achetée après m'être initié au rhum (Havana Club et Santiago de Cuba) lors de vacances à Cuba l'année dernière.
Séduit par le packaging, je m'étais laissé tenter...
Sur le coup, je manquais évidemment de références pour comparer et il me semblait plutôt bon...
Quelques mois et quelques découvertes plus tard, je me rends compte qu'au final, ce rhum est assez plat!
Peu de personnalité, pas vraiment de saveur particulière qui s'en dégage, peu d'épaisseur: l'alcool prend le dessus sur le reste.
On ne peut pas dire qu'il soit mauvais mais pour un prix similaire, il y a clairement des rhums plus intéressants à découvrir sur le plan gustatif!
