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 company s founders remain the foundation of Matusalem Rum.
