    How does this rum taste?

    Complex nose aromas
    Limited edition rarity
    Versatile for cocktails

    Mezan Trinidad Rum 2003 is an intriguing limited release from Trinidad, with just 3000 bottles available. Distilled from molasses and aged for 16 years, this rum boasts a 46% ABV. The aroma is characterized by notes of wood, vanilla, and red fruits, while the palate offers a spicy and woody essence with hints of cherry. Some users find the taste complex yet slightly overpowering in alcohol, with a mix of bitter and sweet notes that make it more suitable for cocktails rather than neat sipping. Despite promising aromas, the finish is described as short and light. This Mezan rum is often praised for its nose but received mixed reviews regarding its palate and overall balance.

     An open bottle for this tasting. The nose is light, diluted but with aromas of earth, bourbon, vegetal and pear. On the palate, the aromas of the nose are absent. It's flat and watery. The finish is very short, with a lingering vegetal edge. The empty glass is on the bourbon. A disappointing Trinidad rum, the nose is fine but the palate and finish are flat and diluted. Should be very pleasant in mixology.

     8,2:On the nose , we find a molasses rum with roundly medicinal accents. Aromatic herbs, sometimes resinous, sometimes chlorophyll, bring depth and freshness. The toasted oak takes us back to a little more familiar territory, as do the slightly tart red fruits which follow, burnt sugar . With airing, an icing sugar. We then bounce from one marshmallow to another, then coming across a soft vanilla or powdered strawberries. Once again, the lightly toasted white wood brings us its slightly more robust aromas with dried, nutty fruits. 8,5:The palate is coated by a woody and caramelized wave, with a fairly pleasant concentration, then surprisingly a nice wave of grapefruit. Vanilla envelops a pinch of roasted spices, then we find notes of slightly resinous molasses. Nuts are caught in a brittle but nevertheless delicious nougatine and dried, poached fruits. After long time, blackcurrant heavily.... 8,2:The finish is fine and light, with caramelized and dark fruits. There is a small layer of smoke.
