Mezan X.O Jamacia Rum
Mezan is an independent UK bottler founded in 2012 by Neil Mathieson, who'd already been quietly laying down rum stock through his spirits importing business since the 1990s. Unlike most of Mezan's single-cask releases, Jamaica XO is a genuine blend, combining rum from two well-respected distilleries, Hampden Estate and Monymusk, aged in old bourbon casks with no added sugar, coloring, or heavy filtration. That transparency has real fans — reviewers consistently praise Mezan for not artificially darkening the rum to look older, which is exactly why this XO pours a notably pale straw color that surprises people expecting something darker given the name. Reception is honestly mixed on the actual character: Christopher Null at Drinkhacker found it rustic and a bit rough for something billed as "extra old," picking up petrol and rubber notes he didn't love, while other reviewers describe genuine complexity — ripe banana, pineapple, toffee, and tropical fruit, with Jamaican funk balanced against light oak. The Lone Caner initially found it deceptively mild before warming up to real appreciation with time in the glass. Bottled at 40% ABV, it's widely considered a solid, affordable entry point into Jamaican rum style, though opinions vary on execution.
