Ron Matusalem 15 Year Old Gran Reserva Rum--I had been wanting to try this for some time. I am impressed. $24.99 on sale at Virginia ABC. Hard to tell from the on line material, but I am guessing all of the 15 year-olds are solera method, which makes me wonder what 15 year old really means. Dominican, from molasses, from a Cuban recipe. To me a fair amount of vanilla and spice. Dark in color. Reviews seem to peg it as a beginner rum, and I suppose as overly smooth, easy, and pleasant. I like it better than that. No hogo, low esters.
I am really going to have to track down why folks think this is do much beginners rum. I think of my palate as being more or less okay. There must be something I am missing about rums. I guess it seems to me like a more intense Ron Abuelo rum, something I really like.

Ugh! Seepage. Good luck. I hope there is not a problem. My storage conditions are not perfect, I know, but I have had problems with trying to keep Port around to age. More tears shed over undrunk than drunk Port.
It might be fine. I have had a few 1977 and 1982 VPs with similar seepage and they were all fine.
1985 Grahams is excellent.
