Mezan Dominican Republic 2012 Vintage Rum 46%

Description

Mezan Dominican Republic 2012 Vintage Rum is part of the Mezan range of single distillery bottlings of rum.

The idea behind the Mezan range of rums is to bring to the consumer the story of the diversity of rum amongst the Caribbean Islands – styles and methods of production, and therefore the rums vary widely. Mezan rums are also bottled as natural as possible – after the casks have been selected – they are not chill-filtered, nor is there any colour, sugar or other flavourings added.

This fine Dominican rum is produced by the Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos (AFD) distillery. The distillery is Spanish owned and was founded in 2009, it is one of the most modern, and environmentally friendly, distilleries in the Carribean. Their rums are produced from sugarcane juice gathered from freshly crushed Dominican cane, grown in the provinces of San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, La Altagracia and El Seibo. The juice is fermented with the company’s own yeasts, developed over more than fifty years of production, and then distilled in their own 5-column continuous still. This light rum has a relatively low ester content which develops well when aged.

Mezan Dominican Republic 2012 Vintage Rum is aged in ex Bourbon casks. After the casks have been selected the rum is bottled non chill-filtered and no colouring, caramel, sugar or other flavourings are added. Pure, unaltered rum.

Distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2022 as a 10 year old Rum at 46% ABV. 3 years tropical ageing and 7 years ageing in Europe.
