The Mezan 2000 Long Pond Jamaica 18yo rum is a unique and exceptional spirit that stands out in the world of fine rums. Bottled at a robust strength of 58.63% ABV and presented in a 700ml volume, this Jamaican gem from the Long Pond distillery offers a sensory journey unlike any other. It opens with a powerful aroma that dominates even after aeration, with subtle notes of wood making a marginal appearance. The rum is vividly fruity throughout, with a hint of copper and a touch of solvent. The aroma of fermenting fruits like banana and pineapple lends it a distinct acidity, while the exotic fruit basket ripens to its extreme, showcasing distinctly tropical flavors. Overripe papaya, juicy mango, and perhaps even jackfruit contribute to its pure Jamaican identity, complementing a hint of polished wood that adds a touch of elegance and honeyed light. On the palate, the attack is marked by a smoky, sulfurous metal character, as if the rum were tasted straight from the still, giving it a frank and somewhat "industrial" feel. The texture starts light but thickens, releasing its full fruitiness before tightening around the bergamot note. True to the Mezan brand's commitment to authenticity, this rum undergoes no cold filtration or additives, preserving its natural complexity. With a very tropical nose followed by a precise bitterness reminiscent of gin, this rum is a testament to traditional Jamaican rum-making methods and offers an unforgettable sensory experience.
