Rum Mezan Guyana 2005 was distilled in 2005 at the Diamond Distillery (Guyana) using the iconic Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still - a unique aluminium distillation system preserved from the former Port Mourant distillery and moved first to Uitvlugt and then to Diamond. This technology produces distinctly pointy, ester-rich distillates with a characteristic ester expression.
The rum matures for approximately 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels made of American white oak, first in the tropical conditions of Guyana and then in continental Europe. This process allows for a softer golden colour to be achieved, revealing the rich character of the port mourant distillate, while remaining free of colouring or sweeteners - typical of ‘The Untouched Rum’ philosophy.
The aroma of the rum is complex, with initial impressions of freshness - green pepper, menthol, sweet bananas, strawberry notes and a subtle hint of clementine. The taste is spicy and tropical - a combination of ginger, pepper, banana, lime, with final touches of mint and oak.
This rum is suitable for slow tasting neat; for some tasters, the full spectrum of aromas will only open up after adding a drop of water.
