Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Elegant and bright with aromas of vanilla, coconut, and a distinct floral honey note from the Moscatel finish.
- Palate: Light to medium-bodied. You'll find a spicy entry of cinnamon and ginger, which quickly gives way to the sweetness of dried apricots, peaches, and a touch of oak.
- Finish: Clean and peppery with a lingering hint of tropical fruit and woody vanilla.
Food Pairings & Serving
- Savory: Pairs surprisingly well with Spiced Pork Belly or Caribbean-style jerk chicken.
- Dessert: Excellent with Grilled Pineapple or a light coconut flan.
- The "Mixer" Serve: Because it is dry (no added sugar), it makes for an exceptionally clean Classic Daiquiri or a sophisticated Rum Old Fashioned.
- The "Neat" Serve: It is accessible enough to be enjoyed neat or on a large rock of ice for those who prefer a drier, "whiskey-drinker's" style of rum.
About the brand
Mezan is an independent bottler known as "The Untouched Rum" specialist. Their philosophy is to provide rums that are as close to their natural state as possible—meaning they are un-sweetened, un-colored, and only lightly filtered. Unlike many commercial rums, Mezan does not add sugar or caramel coloring, focusing instead on the authentic characteristics of the distillery and the specific region of origin.
