The Ron Matusalem brand was founded in Santiago de Cuba in 1872 by the brothers Benjamin and Eduardo Camp and their partner Evaristo Álvarez. The name is derived from the biblical figure Methuselah, who lived to be 969 years old and stands for longevity and quality. After the Cuban revolution in 1959, the brand changed hands and production was relocated to the Dominican Republic, where it continues to this day.
The Ron Matusalem Gran Reserva Solera 23 is a smooth, creamy rum produced according to an old Cuban recipe. It matures for up to 23 years using the solera method, which originates from sherry production. This process consists of several rows of barrels in which older rums are partially removed and topped up with younger distillates. This results in continuous maturation and consistent quality over many years.
The age indication on the label always refers to the oldest rum contained in the blend, which underlines the high maturity and exclusivity of the product. (automated translation)
