Mezan Trinidad 1999 is a rum from the iconic and now sadly closed Caroni Distillery.
The Caroni Distillery was founded in 1918 and it was a Single Estate Distillery with its own sugar refinery. Renowed for its heavy “Navy” style rums it sadly closed in 2002.
Velier have in recent years “resurrected” the Caroni making it into a brand years after it last produced any rum! By buying numerous barrels from the the defunct distillery Luca Gargano and Co. have given Caroni Rum a reputation which is now reaching mythical status.
