Matusalem Gran Reserva Solera 23 Años

 Sie haben diesen großen Bruder des 15-Jährigen hinzugefügt und er ist viel besser. Sie sind immer noch nicht so weit, obwohl sie es geschafft haben, ihn schwerer im Geschmack zu machen. Ich glaube, mit dieser Version wollten sie Zacapa und El Dorado herausfordern, aber sie haben noch einen weiten Weg vor sich, und für den Preis ist dies ein guter Rum.

 8:On the nose, this rum begins with light caramel, butterscotch. Molasses and toasted wood then descend to deeper notes. Then tobacco and vanilla add a little variety to the profile. On the nose it is a very sweet, light rum, smooth and velvety. Aeration won't alter this profile, and the rum remains soft, like a tender caramel. The vanilla, too, is delicate. There's also a certain sweetness that leads us towards caramel candy. Resting gives the caramelized nuts and coconut time to spice things up a little. 8:On the palate entry is surprising, gripping the taste buds like a piece of toasted wood and later coconut.The rum is much less round than expected at first, for although the sensation is sweet, the caramel aromas are quite dry and dark. Then the rum softens again, with honey and vanilla and hints of roasted nuts and becomes very round. 8:The finish is soft and sweet, with burnt and roasted notes that linger on the tongue.. Edit:9.3.25-a tasty easy sipper

 This is a good daily driver. Nothing special on the palate. The finish is quite short.

 Update: You will probably not be too impressed with this ron the first time you sip it but when you actually buy the bottle and use it as a sipper the relative lack of added sugar compared to the more crowd-pleasing expressions from e.g. O&O will really start to be appreciated. I now like it more than my Quorhum 30 year even though I was sure of the opposite when I first got the two. There is a confidence to letting a rum stand on its own with less additives and I enjoy and appreciate that more and more each day with this rum compared to the Quorhum which serves as my other current Dominican easy sipper. Let yourself go through at least a third of this bottle and watch it grow as your favorite relaxed ron sip. Original review: I currently have a thing for Dominicans as my easy sippers. Pronounced vanilla note, goes down so easy you barely notice it (making it work well as background sip material while doing something else). But please, do not pay more than 65€ tops for this thing, and even that is pushing it in my opinion.

 Schöner daily Sipper und in Sachen Komplexität eine deutliche Weiterentwicklung zum 15 Jährigen Evergreen. Ist ein solider Rum den man dort geboten bekommt der aufgrund seines milden Auftretens auch für Einsteiger geeignet ist. Preis Leistung finde ich anständig.

 I would like to compare it with the Unhiq and I was kind of surprised that that it was not better. Still very pleasant and round experience with little bit more warm and rough aspects. I would like to compare it directly against its 15 years old variant. I think that the it not so big improvement after all with respect to the price.

 Good Rum. It took me a while to finish the bottle, it didn't appeal to me. With ice it feels better. Salu! 🥃

 tolles Produkt! Für Anfänger bis Experienced werden ihn sehr mögen.

 An artisan rum

 Weiß durch noch mehr Nuancen sowie gesteigerter Milde im Gegensatz zum 15YO an Nase und Gaumen zu gefallen. Leider aber recht zurückhaltend an der Nase, was ihn Punkte kostet. Gefälliger, nicht allzu komplexer Sipper.

 Der Geschmack erinnert an Lakritze und geröstete Mandeln mit Noten von Haselnüssen. Dieser frische und fruchtige Geschmack geht in einen eher sherryartigen Nachgeschmack über

 Ein klasse rum, ausdrucksstark

 Ohne großes Interesse. Vanille, Karamell und Holz von Anfang bis Ende. Keine Tiefe. Keine Entwicklung zu erkennen. Nichts Interessantes.

 Very well rounded rum, some alcohol in the nose, as well as a slight burn in the taste. Both are actually pleasant and very well done. Also a fan of the complexity that this has to offer, every sip is a different experience.
