Review: Ron Matusalem Platino Rum
Ron Matusalem Platino rum was re-launched in 2002. Their rum was first produced in Santiago de Cuba in 1872 by a family that brought from Spain a secret formula for distilling and blending rum. In the period from the 1930’s-1950’s Ron Matusalem had over a 50% market share in Cuba. Following the Cuban revolution in 1959 the government took over the distillery and the rum was not made until it was re-launched in 2002 in the Dominican Republic using the original recipe. Ron Matusalem rum is triple distilled and aged in oak barrels where they use a Solera 3 blending process, where their rum transitions from younger to older barrels in a three step aging process.
