Mezan Belize 2008 10 years 46° : Description and customer reviews

Mezan Belize 2008 is a traditional molasses rum distilled in triple columns and aged for 10 years in old ex-bourbon casks (6 years on site, with a high proportion of angels, and 4 years in Europe).

After a slow reduction to 46°, the rum is bottled like all Mezan rums, without the addition of coloring or sugar, and without cold filtration.

Nico's tasting notes

At first, the nose plays cat-and-mouse with our senses. It wanders between the solvent, which reveals brief hints of white wood, and a damp, slightly muffled woodiness. A little aeration is needed for the aromatic profile to take shape. The wood then appears more clearly, but in a dark, relatively severe form. However, we're not unpleasantly surprised, for the concentration is there, accompanied by a nutty oiliness that will soon open the whole into something much warmer.

With a little air and time, the rum reveals itself to be rather round and sweet, with a concentrated soy sauce-like woodiness. The oiliness of the nuts contributes to this sensation of thickness, then the solvent returns to reveal a lovely, elegant, deep woodiness. Cinnamon and cocoa are underscored by heady floral notes.

The palate is full, ample and open to fruit. The mid-palate refocuses on a woodiness fairly typical of English style and bourbon casks (toffee, vanilla, coconut, tobacco), with a fairly dark character that gives it extra class. Caramel, roast and molasses notes follow.

The finish continues with notes of caramelization, and the rum concentrates into a plum and banana jam enhanced by vanilla and sweet almond.

"The concentration of this rum requires a little aeration. Your patience will be rewarded by an elegant woodiness and a very greedy finish..."
