Greetings,

After speaking with Jim Tirrel from Matusalem, I was informed that the Classic Black 7 YO will be coming back. They had too much pressure, especially from European markets, after announcing that it will be discontinued. As all other Matusalem products at this time (excluding Cuba of course) it will be from the DR.

This is a fine general market rum that is an okay sipper, but a great mixer. I wonder if it will be the same out of the DR? We shall see...

Cheers, Dan

Any new products from Matusalem will be from the DR according to the brand manager. I wouldn't hold my breath for the new Classic Black but I do believe there is too much business there to leave it just sitting on the table.

I was just reviewing some research notes from Puerto Rico and noticed that it wasn't too long ago that Matusalem was bottled in Puerto Rico.
