Is Matusalem Rum still produced in Cuba?
Unfortunately,
as with so many other successful Cuban companies,
the Alvarez family fled Cuba with the ascension of the
Castro
regime. It is now bottled and produced in Santiago,
Dominican
Republic where the environment weather pattern,
sugar cane,
soil and water - is most similar to Cuba. Further more,
production
in the Dominican Republic allows
the rum to be made available in the United States. Still,
the same recipe and strict standards that were developed
by the companys founders remain the foundation
of Matusalem Rum.
