Matusalem is good stuff, it's made in South Florida "from the original Cuban recipe", and using it doesn't annoy the Cuban ladies down here (which is very important).

From an article on the web:

"Matusalem & Co. produces and distributes premium rum products around the world, including the exclusive "Gran Reserva," once known in Cuba as the "Cognac of Rums." Founded in Cuba in 1872, but forced to shut down Cuban operations in 1960, the company now thrives in Miami, distilling and selling nearly 3,000,000 bottles of rum annually.

A descendent of the Matusalem & Co. founding family, Dr. Claudio Alvarez, now serves as president and CEO. Dr. Alvarez hopes that someday, changes in the political climate between Cuba and the United States will enable Matusalem & Co. to return to its homeland, where the company once generated sales of 12 million bottles of rum each year.
