Ron Matusalem Gran Reserva 15

Nose - molasses, heavy oak char, caramel, vanilla, cherry, almond, amaretto, mild overripe banana funk, sweet tobacco, maple syrup, moderate to high ethanol burn. Taste - dark molasses, butterscotch, creamy vanilla, maple syrup, banana funk, sweet tobacco, cherry, almond, barrel char, malty cereal grain, moderate alcohol bite, finishing fairly long with molasses, fruit funk, butterscotch flavors. This is a decent sipper that could also be a great mixer. Its profile seems to straddle Barbados and Jamaican rum flavors. I wouldn’t mind adding a bottle to the collection.
