Upon arriving in Santiago de Cuba, the Camp brothers wasted no time in setting up their rum distillery. They were determined to create a rum that would rival the best in the world, and they knew that the solera system would be the key to achieving their goal. The solera system is a traditional method of blending and aging spirits, which involves the gradual mixing of different aged rums to create a harmonious and complex final product.
The Camp brothers applied their expertise in the solera system to the production of Matusalem rum, carefully selecting and blending rums of different ages to achieve the desired flavor profile. They believed in using only the finest ingredients and employing meticulous attention to detail in every step of the production process.
