A cask-strength 2006 Jamaican bottled by Mezan at 16 years, an unsweetened pot-still rum in the purist tradition, with a strong, alcoholic, estery nose and a peppery, layered palate that opens with a little water, vegetal and spice-laced at 55.3%.
Description
Mezan Jamaica 2006 is a pot-still Jamaican bottled by Mezan, a house known for its natural, unsweetened approach, presented at 16 years and full cask strength. It sits in the purist tradition of letting the spirit speak, with no dosage to soften the island's edges.
Distilled from molasses on pot stills and matured in ex-bourbon oak, it carries a strong, alcoholic, ester-driven nose, the funk clearly present at this strength. The palate is peppery and layered, with the high proof concentrating the spice and fruit. Bottled unsweetened at 55.3%, this is an honest, full-strength Jamaican for drinkers who want pot-still character without compromise, vegetal and pepper-laced on the finish and best approached with a little water to open up the fruit beneath the heat.
