Rum da meditazione, il top di casa Mezan. Molto buono, ambrato, limpido,
non troppo complesso, si sente l'età, il legno, il caramello.
The age of this rum is not very clear but I guess it is quite old. I don't know if it was aged in Trininad or in the UK. The Alcohol Abv is reduced to a low 40% which some Caroni fans would find almost an offense. Anyway...
Nose : very nice, light, refined. I found something like almonds, sweetness (pastry) a bit of oak maybe floral notes. It is sweet and subtle, very nice for me. Almost no Caroni signature although some more heavy notes appear after quite a long time.
Taste : again very subtle and complex. First it is sweet very smooth (I did not write sugar!). Then come the oak, herbal notes and some liquorice and tar for the finish. Maybe the only typical Caroni feature ? I am not sure how to describe all the flavours but I really loved this rum.
This is not a strong rum , not at all. The low Abv quite killed the beast in it but revealed the other flavours. Very surprising and interesting.
That beeing said I whish Mezan tries some more stronger Alcohol Abv...
Je ne sais pas trop l'âge de ce rhum, je crois qu'il est assez vieux. J'avais lu l'info quelque part, je ne la retrouve plus. Vieilli en GB chez Mezan ou a Trininad ? Aucune idée... le taux d'alcool à 40% sera surement considéré comme un scandale pour les amateurs de Caroni.
Au nez : délicat, subtil, raffiné... il y a un petit côté pâtisserie/pâte d'amande, un côté floral aussi. C'est tout léger, d'autres parfums arrivent progressivement sans que le style Caroni soit vraiment présent.
On goûte : d'abord tout doux avec ce petit côté pâte d'amande, puis le reste arrive : boisé, et tout à la fin arrivent enfin le "goudron" et la réglisse si typique des rhums Caroni. Je ne sais pas bien tout décrire mais j'ai trouvé tout ça vraiment très bon, tout en finesse.
Le faible taux d'alcool calme le jeu, ce n'est pas du tout le le rhum très fort et aromatique auquel on s'attend vu sa provenance mais du coup d'autres arômes se révèlent. C'est plutôt surprenant du coup.
Mezan fait des bons rhums, dommage qu'ils ne lancent pas quelques bouteilles à un taux d'alcool un peu plus élevé.

Too light to be good, easy caroni sipper 7 out of 10
A light caroni with fruity aftertaste. Not that complex and heavy like his stronger brothers.
Not as light as the Felicitas Gold of course. The aftertaste is fruity and tasty.
The dilution was a wrong decision, this would be 10 times better at cask strength.
Would rate it 7.5
Smell: Gum, leather, some citrus and oak
Taste initial: some white fruits, leather
Taste middle: citrus, gum, some bitterness and salt, spice
Finish: grapes, some tar
Aftertaste: grapes, leather
Sweetness: 1.5
Fruits: 2.5
Spice: 2/5
Mildness: 4/5
Value (85€): 2.5/5
