I was prepared to drink an atrocious medicine and it ended up being a very good revelation. And I'm not a fan at all of Fernet Branca.

Matusalem Rum Gran Reserva Solera 15
"Durant l'ère prospère de Cuba, le plus recherché des rhums était le Matusalem, créé à Santiago de Cuba en 1872 par une société familiale dont les fondateurs avaient conçu une formule secrète de distillation et d'assemblage. Matusalem Gran Reserva est produit à partir de rhums présélectionnés vieillis en fûts de chêne et assemblés selon la méthode de la Solera avec une cœur d'assemblage de 15 ans d'âge. Le rhum ainsi créé offre une saveur et une douceur exceptionnelles qui en font un produit sans équivalent. Aujourd'hui Matusalem, un des plus fins rhums du monde, est fabriqué dans la République Dominicaine selon la formule secrète crée par une famille en 1872."
