The Mezan 2008 Panama 10yo is a distinguished rum bottled at 46% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle. This exceptional spirit hails from Panama, crafted from a light molasses base and distilled using a state-of-the-art multiple column still at a distillery renowned for cultivating its own sugarcane. Limited to just 3800 bottles, this 10-year-old rum was distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2018, representing the meticulous craftsmanship of the Mezan brand.
The initial palate is both round and rich, bursting with flavors that captivate the senses. The first sip unveils notes of leather, soy sauce, and molasses, followed by an intriguing blend of sweet spices and syrup of very ripe fruit that envelops the palate. The journey concludes with a well-rounded wood finish accented by hints of tobacco and vanilla.
The nose is initially vibrant, featuring fresh and fragrant vegetal notes that soon give way to lightly toasted aromas like grilled nuts and caramel. Vanilla makes its presence known, accompanied by a slightly spicy note of cinnamon, tonka, cocoa, and tobacco. Over time, the profile becomes more rounded and balanced, revealing the true character of this rum.
Aeration further enhances the complexity of this rum, unveiling a body rich in structure and aromatics. Expect a symphony of very ripe fruits such as mirabelle and apricot, soft wood, confit vegetables, along with subtle hints of leather, spices, and exotic barks. After a careful reduction to 46% ABV, the rum is bottled without the addition of coloring or sugar and without cold filtration, staying true to Mezan's commitment to purity.
The finish remains aromatic, characterized by light black olive and subtle sugarcane aromas, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
This rum is unique due to its artisanal production process, including being distilled from a light molasses base and aged for 10 years. It is also bottled without the addition of coloring or sugar and without cold filtration, preserving its natural flavors.
This rum can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the base for high-quality cocktails. Its complex flavor profile also makes it perfect for sipping slowly to appreciate its full range of aromas and tastes.
The key flavor notes include leather, soy sauce, molasses, sweet spices, very ripe fruit, wood, tobacco, and vanilla.
Aeration helps to reveal the full body and rich aromatics of the rum, bringing out additional flavors and complexities that are not immediately apparent.
