Mezan XO Jamaica is a mixture of kegs from two Jamaican distilleries: Monymusk and Hampden. Hampden Distillery has Scottish roots and is one of the oldest sugar plantations in the country. It has always been known as a distillery for the production of high caliber rum, which produces alcohol for blending.
It is made from a mixture of first-class rums aged 4 to 23 years, which were poured into other barrels, where they matured together many years before bottling. Rums were distilled from premium molasses using Pot and Column Stills.
This process is repeated in small batches (approx. 5,000 bottles), thus maintaining quality and consistency.
The aroma is distinctive - fresh, with clean esters and notes of banana and sweet spices (e.g., caramel, vanilla, honey), typical of Jamaican rums. The taste is smooth, light to medium-bodied, with notes of ripe banana, pastry, citrus, delicate spices, butter, and caramel. The finish is long-lasting, spicy with vanilla, candied peel and hints of tobacco or dry oak.
It is suitable for neat drinking, but also works great in sophisticated cocktails - its distinctive aromas add structure and complexity.
