Equiano Rum is a blend of Carribbean and African rums, from Gray's distillery in the Mauritius and Foursquare distillery in Barbados. This is a traditional style of rum – created without any additional sweetening, flavouring or enhancing, it is the sole product of barrels that have matured the spirit of two great producers. There is a full and rich quality to its taste, with warm butterscotch, flowing caramel and a tang of orange and anise to finish.
Distillery notes
"Equiano is a multi award winning premium aged rum, that is the world’s first African & Caribbean blend. The collaboration of two distilleries on two different continents creates something entirely new for a centuries old craft.
Equiano is 100% natural, with no spices, no additives and no added sugar. All of our rich and deep flavours come from the ex-bourbon and ex-cognac casks that it tropically matures in.
Like any quality premium rum, Equiano subtly delivers tropical warmth as soon as its aroma touches your nose. Rich, notes of dried fruits such as raisins and sultanas combine with sweet toffee, butterscotch and caramel culminating with a suggestion of orange peel, vanilla and buttered wood.
Equiano delivers all the natural sweet notes of a well-aged rum from American white oak ex-bourbon casks. It has a warm toffee and butterscotch mouth-feel, with chewy raisins and brown sugar flavours that emerge from the liquid as it caresses your tongue."
