The Mezan 2007 Jamaica 12yo rum is a distinctive expression crafted from rums distilled at the renowned Monymusk Distillery in Clarendon Parish, Jamaica. This exceptional rum is an intricate blend of distillates from both modern multi-column stills and traditional double-retort pot stills. This combination creates a harmonious balance of floral notes from the column stills and heavy, ester-rich notes from the pot stills.
Initially aged for 5 years in Jamaica, this rum was then imported to Europe for an additional maturation period of 7 years in second-fill ex-bourbon barrels. This meticulous aging process results in a spirit that is both light and delicate, as well as rich and aromatic. Upon tasting, the rum reveals a lively and fresh fruitiness, featuring notes of green banana and a pastel palette of fruit salad with a hint of red fruit puree. It also offers a pleasant and easy-drinking quality, with subtle industrial and metallic notes that transition to a warm, spicy finish. The palate further delights with flavors of kumquat, kiwi, pineapple, tart rhubarb, and freshly-cut grass.
The objective of this assemblage is to combine the lightness of column still distillation with the heavy, aromatic qualities of pot still distillation. The result is a rum that is both complex and well-rounded, boasting a unique flavor profile that is sure to impress rum enthusiasts. Bottled at 46% ABV and limited to just 5040 bottles, this 700ml offering from the Mezan brand captures the essence of Jamaican rum craftsmanship.

The reviewers have mixed feelings about the Mezan 2007 Jamaica 12yo rum. Some praise its complex aromatic profile, noting the almond paste and pastry cream flavors, while others find it a bit too dry and lacking in richness. One reviewer mentioned that it has a distinct Jamaican character but prefers the more affordable Hampden Younger 2016 for its sweeter profile. Another reviewer found the rum too acetone/solvent-like for their taste. Overall, the rum is recognized for its unique composition and flavor, with a strong mark of the Clarendon distillery behind it.
