About this product
Smooth. Refined. Timeless.
Matusalem 15 Años Gran Reserva is a rum with history in every drop. Originally founded in Santiago de Cuba in 1872, Matusalem was created by two Spanish brothers who brought with them the expertise of solera aging from sherry and brandy production. Though now crafted in the Dominican Republic, the spirit of old Cuba still flows through every bottle of Matusalem, earning it the title of “the Cognac of rums.”
Aged for an average of 15 years using the solera method, Matusalem 15 develops a harmony of richness and smoothness that sets it apart. The tropical climate enhances maturation, resulting in a rum that balances depth with elegance. Layers of vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, toasted nuts, and warm oak intermingle with remarkable finesse, offering a refined experience that rewards slow sipping.
For rum enthusiasts in Ireland, Matusalem 15 is a chance to taste a rum with both heritage and sophistication – a perfect introduction to the art of solera-aged rums.
Why we love it:
Matusalem 15 is a classic in every sense — offering the richness of aged rum without overpowering sweetness. Its smooth, dry finish makes it ideal for whisky drinkers exploring rum, or for anyone seeking a refined, contemplative spirit with a deep sense of history.
