- Description
- Mezan's 2012 Dominican rum spent its first three years maturing in tropical heat before a seven-year European slumber in ex-bourbon casks, creating a spirit shaped by two climate zones. On the nose, vanilla, muscovado sugar, and cinnamon dominate, with exotic pepper and orange blossom adding complexity; the palate follows with soft oak, coconut, and warming spices that build gradually. At 46% ABV, the texture is smooth and approachable without sacrificing the depth gained from split maturation. Best suited to sipping neat or in spirit-forward cocktails where its layered sweetness can shine.
