Tasting Panel
Mezan 2006 Panama is amber/bronze in color and indulges the senses with a delicately smoky nose that brings up dried apricots, dates, and butterscotch. The palate is packed with flavor: layer upon layer from pecans to leather. Lush, semi-dry notes of burnt almonds stay to the lengthy finish.
From pirate life on the open sea to Caribbean island paradises, perhaps no other spirit evokes such a romantic history as Rum. Made through fermentation and distillation of molasses or the fresh-pressed juice of sugar cane, Rums range from 20% to over 70% alcohol and come in a variety of tones from clear to dark. Highest quality Rums are generally produced in pot stills and aged in wood, while less expensive Clear or “White” Rums are produced in column stills and bottled without barrel aging. Naturally, Rums form the base of tropical cocktails like Daquiris and Mojitos.
