The MEZAN Dominican Republic 2012 Vintage Rum is a 10 year old rum distilled by A.F.D, one of the most modern distilleries in the Caribbean. This distillery produces its rums from freshly crushed Dominican cane, grown in the provinces of San Pedro de Macoris, La Romana, La Altagracia and El Seibo. The juice is fermented with company’s own yeasts, and distilled in their own 5-column continuous still. Matured in ex-bourbon casks the rum undergoes 3 years tropical ageing and then a further 7 years European ageing before bottling. This 10 year old rum has an intense nose with some vanilla, cinnamon, muscovado notes, coconut, orange blossom and a hint of pepper. A rich oaky frame surrounds a softer body and rounded palate with some light oak and warming exotic spices.[#intro]10 Year Old Dominican Rum, distilled by A.F.D. one of the Caribbean's most modern distilleries...[/intro]
