Mezan Jamaican XO Rum
Mezan Jamaican XO Rum is a 40% ABV (80 proof) Jamaican rum — a blend of stocks from respected Jamaican distilleries including Monymusk and Hampden Estate, re-casked and re-aged after blending so the components meld ("double matured"), then bottled with no added color and no added sugar. Molasses-based, lightly filtered, in a 750mL bottle. Order Jamaican rum online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Jamaica, Blended and Re-Rested
Jamaican rum is famous for its high-ester, funky pot-still character, and Mezan's XO leans into it two ways: first by blending stocks from more than one respected Jamaican distillery — including Monymusk and Hampden Estate — then by re-casking the blend and aging it again so the rums knit together. That double maturation rounds the edges without dulling the funk: pineapple, apricot, white grape, and orange on the nose over burnt sugar and light molasses, pale straw in the glass, and a palate that stays lively rather than heavy. Like all Mezan rums, nothing is added — no color, no sugar. Explore more Mezan rums, dive into the rum collection, or try the Mezan Guyana 2005 for a Demerara-style vintage contrast.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw with a nose of pineapple, apricot, white grape, and orange over burnt sugar and light molasses. The palate is bright and expressive — tropical fruit and gentle funk — with a clean, balanced finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat to catch the full Jamaican character, or in a daiquiri where the blend's fruit and funk shine through lime and sugar.
