Matusalem Gran Reserva 23: The Masterpiece of Dominican Solera Rum

Indulge in the "Cognac of Rums" with Matusalem Gran Reserva 23, an ultra-premium Dominican Rum that represents the pinnacle of the Matusalem family’s heritage. Crafted for the most discerning palates, this multi-award-winning spirit is a testament to the timeless elegance of the Solera aging system and the sophisticated artistry of Cuban-style rum production.

The Art of the Solera 23 System

The secret to the velvet-smooth profile of Matusalem 23 lies in its unique maturation process. Utilizing the traditional Solera method, various aged rums are married in selected French oak barrels. This dynamic aging process allows younger rums to take on the character of older "mother" spirits, creating a final blend that possesses incredible depth, consistency, and a refined woody character that is the hallmark of premium aged rum.

Sensory Profile

  • Nose: A sophisticated and floral bouquet. Expect rich aromas of fresh honey and golden syrup, beautifully layered with hints of roasted almonds, vanilla, and a sophisticated touch of cedarwood.
  • Palate: Exceptionally silky and full-bodied. The palate is treated to a majestic symphony of creamy butterscotch and dried fruits, followed by notes of dark chocolate, spicy oak, and a delicate hint of orange peel.
  • Finish: Long, elegant, and persistent. The sweetness of the caramel fades gracefully into a dry, spiced oak finish with lingering notes of sweet tobacco and roasted coffee.

A Cuban Legacy Born in the Dominican Republic

Founded in 1872 in Santiago de Cuba, Matusalem was established by the Camp and Salabert brothers, who brought their knowledge of Sherry distillation and Solera aging to the world of spirits. Today, produced in the Dominican Republic, Matusalem continues to use the same secret family recipe and traditional methods that earned it the nickname "The Spirit of Cuba."

How to Enjoy Matusalem 23: To fully appreciate the complexity of this Solera Rum, it is best enjoyed neat in a snifter or on a single large ice sphere. Its refined profile also makes it the ultimate choice for a high-end "Old Fashioned" for those who appreciate a rum with a woody, cognac-like structure.
