Founded in Santiago de Cuba, it is now produced in the Dominican Republic. HistoryMatusalem & Company was founded by brothers Benjamin and Eduardo Camp, who left Spain and settled in Santiago de Cuba in 1872 for the purpose of establishing a rum distillery.,[1]{{Rp|38}}[2] The Camp brothers brought with them their knowledge and expertise in the solera system of blending and distillation used in making Spanish cognac and sherry.[1]{{Rp|38}} During the 1950s, the brand was one of the top premium rums in Cuba, competing with Bacardi and Havana Club.[1]{{Rp|175}} having 50% market share. Following the Cuban revolution 1959, the family-owned Matusalem brand went into exile, and was established in the United States. The Cuban government continued to make rum in the former Matusalem factory in Santiago de Cuba.[3] Three branches of the family began feuding in 1981, resulting in court cases that extended into the mid-90s. These ended in 1995 when Dr. Claudio Alvarez Salazar, the great-grandson of the founder, gained control of the Matusalem trademark in an out-of-court settlement.{{Citation needed|date=October 2015}} In 2002, Matusalem and Company was relaunched, with branding focused on its Cuban roots, and targeting the high-end market in the United States.[4]{{Rp|86–87}} The rum is produced in the Dominican Republic, but was not formally made available in that country until 2015.[5] The company has engaged in litigation over its use of phrases like "The Spirit of Cuba" in Italy.[6][7] NameThe name "Matusalem" is Spanish for Methuselah, the Old Testament patriarch said to have lived for 969 years. It was chosen as a reference to the aging process used in producing the brand,[1]{{Rp|38}} and popularized with the phrase "mas viejo que Matusalen" (older than Methuselah).[4]{{Rp|78}} Current Portfolio{{Refimprove section|date=October 2015}}Seven different products are currently manufactured by Matusalem and Company:
