Distillery
Matusalem & Co
Monte Plata, Dominican Republic · since 1872
Matusalem was born in 1872 in Santiago de Cuba, when Spanish brothers Benjamín and Eduardo Camp and their partner Evaristo Álvarez opened a rum distillery inspired by the solera ageing of brandy and sherry. After the 1959 revolution the family went into exile; in 1995 Claudio Álvarez, Evaristo's great-grandson, recovered the brand. The rum is now made in the Dominican Republic, with a facility in Monte Plata since 2016.

Region
Where the distillery or house that makes this spirit is located. Origin matters: climate, water and local traditions shape the style.
Country
Dominican Republic
Country of origin of this spirit.
Age
23 years
Time in wood as stated by the producer. Rules vary by category and country: with some solera-aged rums, for example, the number may describe the blend rather than its youngest component. Once bottled, the spirit does not age.
Cask
The cask the spirit matured in gives colour, aroma and texture. Many houses use casks that previously held another drink:
A finish is a final period of maturation in a second cask.
Style & still
Base
The raw material that is fermented and distilled.
Alcohol
40%
% ABV is alcohol by volume. In the European Union the legal minimum is 40% for whiskey and 37.5% for gin, rum and vodka. Cask strength means bottled at the cask's natural strength, without dilution. A few drops of water can open up the aromas.
Bottle
700 ml
A 700 ml bottle gives about 17 measures of 4 cl. Once opened, store it upright, tightly closed and away from light and heat: spirits keep well for months but slowly lose aroma once the bottle is half empty.

Tasting notes
Tasting notes describe what is in the glass: appearance (colour), nose (aromas) and palate (flavour, texture and finish). They are a guide, not a rule — everyone perceives aromas differently.
To taste, use a tulip-shaped tasting glass and a small measure; bring your nose in slowly and, if you like, add a few drops of water to open up the aromas.
