Matusalem Insolito: The World's First Pink Rum
Probably, you might already heard about Matusalem rum (we also wrote about it here). The brand that prides itself on a product with the title "cognac among rums" also came out some time ago with a limited edition rum, which you wouldn't recognize from a bottle of rosé wine. To be clear, it is just great design that hides the World's First Pink Rum.
The limited edition was named Matusalem Insolito. Insólito (in Spanish, French and Italian translation) expresses something rare, unusual and pushing the boundaries. Blend was created by Cynthia Vargas, the Master Blender of the Matusalem, inspired by delicious pink wines from the Provence region of France
After blending, it was filtered through charcoal and then matured for three years using the solera system in ex-wine Tempranillo barrels. This maturing added a special charm to (already good taste of) the rum. And that's where a loving fusion of Dominican rum and wine was born. The result is a pioneering rum, of which only 8,000 bottles were produced.
