What it tastes like.

The Matusalem Rum company was started by the Camp brothers in 1872 as a family affair. The ‘new’ Cuban rum rapidly caught on in the world’s markets. In the early 1940’s the company experienced a period of tremendous growth and by the 1950s it had already captured 50% of the Cuban market, making it the leading rum sold in Cuba. Today, descendants of the founders produce Ron Matusalem in the Dominican Republic.

Solera 7 is a new addition to the range, produced from molasses and drawn from the company’s Solera system. Expect a fruity, medium bodied rum with plenty of sweet spice flavours. The brand “Matusalem” was named after the Biblical Patriarch, Methuselah who was said to have lived for 969 years, so symbolising the patient ageing and old world craftsmanship used to give Ron Matusalem Rum its exceptional flavour. 40% Alc./Vol.

About Matusalem.

Dominican Republic ·Est. 1872

Ron Matusalem is a rum brand founded in 1872 by the Camp brothers in Santiago de Cuba. Following the Cuban Revolution the operation moved out of Cuba (initially to Puerto Rico, later to the Dominican Republic), where the rum is now produced using the original solera-style ageing system the brand calls Solera Cubana.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Ron Matusalem

Dominican Republic

"Benjamin and Eduardo Camp founded Ron Matusalem in Santiago de Cuba in 1872, naming it for the biblical figure Methuselah — alluding to the long ageing of the rum. The brand built its early reputation on a solera-style fractional ageing system the company calls Solera Cubana, drawn from the Spanish sherry tradition.
