Matusalem rum - not a pure rum
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:50 pm
Busted. Uses flavourings in the form of macerated fruits / extracts of such.

All I can say is that Matusalem has never ever publicly stated in their process description anything about using macerated fruits or extracts of such as a flavouring ingredient. For daring to suggest that some rum producers were hiding such facts, Mr. Hamilton called me a liar, and closed me from his so-called "Ministry" forum for good, after a very distasteful email exchange (distasteful on his part). I think the final word for me was "either to prove that what I am suggesting (about any rum producer hiding the use of additives), or apologize to all."
An apology to me would now be most welcome..from Mr. Hamilton, and some of the other unpleasant individuals from his forum, that chose to viciously attack me due to my posts which were not in any way agressive there.
On the topic of hidden additives to actually get some flavour to the otherwise apparently not-so-flavourful rums, I am very disappointed that Matusalem, as many others no doubt, choose to lie to the public / hide facts from the public, rather than tell the truth, and actually use their unique, ancient methodology as part of their marketing story.
