Mezan Chiriqui 3yr 40%
Delicate, subtly sweet, but overall watered-down.
Chiriqui delivers a light aroma of caramel and honey with a peppery, slightly sweet profile. Our RumX community notes that while the muscatel twist is interesting, the overall experience can be thin and watery – a decent intro rum with cocktail potential.

How does this rum taste?
- Subtle honey aroma
- Unique muscatel twist
- Versatile for cocktails
Chiriqui, produced in Panama and bottled by Mezan, offers a light, gentle profile with hints of caramel, honey, and a touch of grapes on the nose. Our community notes that while its subtle sweetness and a peppery kick can be inviting, the overall experience may feel diluted and watery. Its 3-year aging and column still distillation impart delicate nuances, making it a potential starting point for rum newcomers or a creative addition to cocktails. RumX members appreciate the unique muscatel twist although some find the finish a bit short. Overall, this rum provides an accessible, if somewhat understated, tasting journey that invites experimentation and mixology.

"Whatever the moscatel cask did. It should have not done that. This is watery, extremely alcoholic and barren of any flavour. This god forsaken land of rum was not meant to be drank straight. This is not fun."

"Part of the 1423 rum Christmas-calendar from 2023. The nose is very spirit-y and spicy despite it being 40% ABV. In the notes I found spices, wood and some hints of molasses. Might be good in a cocktail"

"Very light on the nose. There's not much going on here, but the muscatel barrel is noticeable. This gives it a very pleasant sweetness that works surprisingly well with the clear pepper note. A hint of grappa and a gentle, even pleasant spiciness on the finish - but mild and not alcoholic. I'm very surprised here. Very, very boring nose, but then the taste is quite unique - it should be dull, but I really like it. A very unusual combination. Addendum: unfortunately extremely flat after a few hits. Ouch..."

"Auch ein stinknormaler Durchscnittsrum. Nicht besonders gut, aber auch nicht wirklich schlecht. Kann man auch pur genießen. Schmeckt leicht alkoholisch, aber ich mag das ja :) Von daher, vielleicht nichts für Feinschmecker, aber ansonsten okay."
