Mezan Trinidad 2003 16yr 46%

RX1108 Good 3,000 bottles

Introducing the Trinidad 2003, a limited release rum from independent bottler Mezan, distilled in Trinidad from molasses and aged for 16 years. With an ABV of 46% and only 3000 bottles available, this rum offers a woody, vanilla, fruity, red fruits, and sugary aroma. The flavor is a combination of spicy, cherry, woody, alcoholic, and red fruits notes. RumX users appreciate its smoothness, interesting aromas, and subtle hints of red fruit, and its long finish with gentle warmth and light spice mixed with damp earth. While somewhat lacking in balance, this unique rum still offers an intriguing and enjoyable experience.

How does this rum taste?

Despite its developped nose of smoky tobacco, sweet fruit and light earthiness, the Mezan Trinidad's taste is deemed underwhelming, with a stark alcoholic presence, flat profile, and unexpected notes of metallic copper. However, the gently warm, earthy finish pleasantly lingers. Best for cocktails.

“Le tabac (presque du tabac froid) et le fumé embaument d'abord le nez. Vient ensuite une effluve beaucoup plus sucrée et un fruit doux (mangue ? cerise ?). Ça donne envie. En bouche, d'abord l'alcool puis une forte amertume. Puis un peu de douceur et de fruit sucré, léger. Comme souvent, l'aération amène un peu de rondeur et de douceur. Au final, le nez était prometteur. Dommage que le goût ne soit pas à l'avenant. Ça reste agréable, mais l'alcool est trop présent malgré la réduction pour laisser la place aux arômes.”

“It’s a bit flat for my tastes, some subtle interesting notes on the nose which is nougat and red fruit or cherry. The mouth is a bit empty, copper and metallic elements with a hint of washing up liquid. The finish is long, with gentle warmth and light spice mixed with damp earth. My first Mezan and pretty disappointing, with not enough going on and lack of balance”
