Mezan Panama 2006 Rum

Mezan built its whole brand around a simple pitch — "The Untouched Rum" — bottling with no added color, sugar, or heavy filtration, though that transparency has its limits: the distillery behind Panama 2006 remains undisclosed, described only as growing its own sugarcane and cultivating proprietary historical yeast cultures. What is known: the rum was distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2015, making it a genuine 9-year-old, run through a multi-column still and aged twice across separate sets of white oak American Bourbon casks. It's picked up real acclaim — Tastings.com scored it 91 points, and multiple independent reviewers have called it a standout, including one blog that flatly called it "outstanding" from open to finish. Expect a soft, inviting nose of brown sugar, toasted marshmallow, sugarcane, and apricot, with the ex-bourbon barrel character coming through clearly, moving into a bright palate of candied orange, caramel, molasses, and dried pineapple, developing spice notes of nutmeg and clove as it lingers into a long finish. Bottled at 40% ABV — one reviewer wished for a slightly higher proof, but most find the balance and value genuinely excellent for the price. A great everyday sipping rum with real depth.
