Mezan XO Jamaica

I find this pretty one dimensional.

For me the nose is the best bit. A pleasant subtle amalgam of acetone, varnish and banana.

The taste though is all banana. Not strong, with a subtle burn, a touch of oak and just a little sweet.

The finish is short, leaving a bit of banana overlaying distinct dryness.

Overall, I find it too simple. If I just want funk, I would rather drink Smith and Cross - it has more richness and a longer finish. For a simple supper, I'd rather drink Mount Gay Eclipse.

Premier nez très fruité sur des arômes de poire un délice. Second nez l alcool est plus present.
En bouche très sec une certaine amertume, le boisé à la part belle. Belle longueur en bouche.

Lovely pale gold natural colour, smells of banana. Lots of flavours in the mouth with a slight burn, delicious.

Érdekes tiszta rum! Kellemes illat. Az íza letisutult, egyszerű. Nekem nem ez lesz a kedvencem,de long drinkben szupi volt!

I fell in love with this bottle at first sip, now if I want real rum I go for this one.

Nose 6/10
Mouth 7/10
Finish 6/10
Price value ratio 6/10

I think I rated this too low the first time around. It is actually a pretty decent jamaican rum, not super funky, a good entry jamaican.

Like a bowl of fruit. Packed with citrus and sugar. Very nice but slightly overwhelming

On the nose: Mild, tropical fruits, banana, pineapple and some sugar cane, some rubber, cotton candy / powdered sugar, some baked banana with honey.

On the palate: tropical fruits, grilled banana, pineapple, molasses, spices, sweet, then a little bit tart.

In the finish: spices, oak, first sweet, then a little bit tart with little tannins, some dark chocolate.

In der Nase: Mild, tropische Früchte, Banane, Ananas und etwas Zuckerrohr, etwas Gummi, Zuckerwatte / Puderzucker, etwas gebackene Banane mit Honig. Am Gaumen: tropische Früchte, gegrillte Banane, Ananas, Melasse, Gewürze, süß, dann etwas herber werdend. Am Gaumen: Gewürze, Eiche, erst süß, dann etwas herb mit wenig Tanninen, etwas dunkle Schokolade.

This is a Rhum in its purest expression, without addition, only filtering, which make you appreciate his honest taste, smooth but not too sweet, with many flavours for a pleasant moment.
