Matusalem Gran Reserva 23-Year

Very simple and disappointing. Just vanilla sugar on Nose, and soft brown sugar on Taste, without any harshness.

Nice fat bottle and a tasty rum, full of sugar and a sweet spicyness.

Good aromatic, smooth, little sweet, good for slow sipping, but less value for money comparing to the Gran Reserva 15.

It‘s not a bad rum but not a great one either. Nothing complex or challenging.
Would drink again but not sure if I would buy again.

Not as good as other rums in same category (Zacapa, Diplomatico, Centenario) but a fine beginners rum.

Nose is fruity and sweet
Taste is creamy with long finish.

Much better than the 10 year old but still sort of lifeless. Thin. No body. No bite. There is some flavor, molasses and a little mocha which was nice. There is some complexity here. Some sultana and coffee notes in the background. One would expect that from a rum aged this long. This is pretty sweet. Finish is good and medium in length. Better on ice than neat. There is that solera aftertaste in the background which I am not a fan of. Bottom line is there are MANY rums of this age and younger which blow this away and cost less.

This one of the finess rum that I have tasted. It is so smooth that you never tast the alcahol in the drink.

Nice full flavour and aroma, not to sweet. Bottle is nice and heavy. It is a tie for me with Plantation Barbados XO 20th anniversary

The nose is round with toffee, vanilla, orange, fudge and cherry's. The palette is sweet with butterscotch, vanilla, a bit of chocolate, marcipan, orange peel and some nuttiness.

Barva je bohatá zlatá až jantarová s vanilkovým, karamelovým, švestkovým aroma. Chuť bych popsal jako sametově hladkou, komplexní, vanilka, karamel, melasa, dubové dřevo, bez příznaku surového alkoholu a závěr suchý, dlouhotrvající, charakteristické chutě setrvávají na středu jazyka.
