Matusalem GRAN RESERVA is our crowning achievement. Originally produced over 130 years ago in Santiago de Cuba and known as the "Cognac of Rums," this Solera 15 super premium rum is the perfect choice for those looking for exceptional quality and sophisticated taste. Not all rums are created equal, and just one sip of Matusalem GRAN RESERVA emphasizes that point. Complex, yet velvety smooth, with pronounced bouquet and flavor, GRAN RESERVA is ideally enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but will also make your favorite cocktail even better.
The super premium quality of our Spirit of Cuba® Matusalem GRAN RESERVA Rum is best enjoyed neat or on-the-rocks, but can also be savored with your favorite mixers. See our recipe page for some of our suggestions for enjoying the silky texture, aroma and flavor of our flagship rum. GRAN RESERVA has been Solera aged for approximately 15 years, with the main blender rums carefully united with more exuberent, younger rums, resulting in an exquisite bouquet and flavor. With Matusalem Gran Reserva you're free to indulge your appreciation for the finer things in life. You'll find that Gran Reserva is exotic, sensous, complex, free-spirited and worldly.
COLOR: Gran Reserva has a rich, golden color comparable to those found in the world's best oak-barrel aged spirits. Its clear, brilliant red and amber tones come from the Solera system of blending young and mature rums in oak casks.
NOSE: Gran Reserva imparts a keen sense of its grace through its aroma of sweet vanilla, molasses, caramel and plums. This lavish offering results in a mellow, rich, subtle and exquisitely refined rum.
TASTE: Superbly blended in the grand Cuban tradition, Gran Reserva offers a delicate taste. Velvety smooth, with an exceptional bouquet and delicate flavors of vanilla, molasses and caramel, its complex palate generates barely any heat. Gran Reserva's satiny texture is that of a unique super-premium rum.
FINISH: Gran Reserva's dry, toasty flavors take center stage before slowly ebbing away in a long satisfying finish.
