Mezan Chiriquí Moscatel Cask Finish

Rum Mezan Chiriquí Moscatel Cask Finish

BOTTLE NOT CARTONED 700ml

Mezan Chiriquí Moscatel Cask Finish is a distinctive blend of rums all produced from molasses. The Mezan range is a limited collection, in fact as a bottler Mezan has chosen to produce small batches by specifically selecting unique rums from the Caribbean. In the case of Mezan Chiriquí Moscatel Cask Finish each rum has been chosen to represent the character of the nation that produced it and with the Chiriquí rum we are in Panama. The name Chiriquí is taken from the Panamanian city of the same name Chiriquí, located on the west coast of the country.

Chiriquí rums are all born from structurally sweet and soft molasses which is fermented and then distilled in column stills. The total aging is 3 years and takes place in ex Bourbon American oak barrels for the first period and afterwards a maturation in ex Moscatel barrels follows. In Spain, the Moscatel grape is used above all for the production of sweet wines, so using the barrels that contained former Moscatel wine, sugary and raisin scents are attributed to the rum. Mezan Chiriquí Moscatel Cask Finish is bottled without sugar, without filtration and without adding caramel. Considerably spiced with flavors of vanilla but also pepper, a tropical return and notes of raisins and candied orange typical of Moscatel. For the packaging Mezan has chosen to depict in the label some particular designs that refer to the illustrations on the hand-woven fabrics of the Panamanian people who produce them. 

TASTE: Wide bouquet with aromas of nuts, caramelized dried fruit, raisins and spices. Soft, warm with classic Moscatel raisin notes.

AGING: American oak barrels ex Bourbon and barrels ex Moscatel.
