Bundle Blue Mauritius Gold + Equiano Rum
Blue and gold, two colours that generally don't go together, but in Mauritius they go hand in hand. Blue sea and golden sand, a great combination. Also Blue Mauritius Gold, a stunning rum rich in tropical fruits, notes of dark chocolate and toasted nuts. A rum that comes from paradise.
A molasses rum, distilled at 95%. The molasses is aged for 36 hours before distillation. The white spirit is then reduced to 60%, blended and stored in ex-wine Porto casks, which gradually develops its natural flavour while eliminating the bitterness otherwise typical of aged alcohol. In less than a year, the colour stabilisation process is complete. Due to its maturation process, there may be some sediment in the bottle. The precious liquid is poured into heavy French glass and sealed with a wooden stopper and a transparent seal.
Colour: amber with gold highlights
Nose: leather, wood, dried fruit, coconut
Taste: cinnamon, nutmeg, spices, orange, grapes
Finish: medium length, vanilla, fruit, nuts, dark chocolate
Equiano is a unique Afro-Caribbean unsweetened molasses rum. This blend is mixed with molasses from Gray's distilleries on the African island of Mauritius and Foursquare on the island of Barbados.
Rum is first aged in Mauritius for 10 years in Limousin French oak and cognac barrels. They are then transported to Barbados, where they are mixed with rum, which has been aged for at least 8 years in bourbon barrels in Barbados.
Rum is named after the Nigerian writer Olaudah Equiano, who was a prominent aboliconist, a traveler, and one of the first slave freedom fighters in Africa. By trading in rum, Olaudah redeemed himself from slavery and could devote himself to the slave liberation movement. This is one of the reasons why the rum company (Equiano Rum Co) devotes a certain percentage of its profits to promoting equality.
Equiano is exclusively mixed and bottled at Foursquare Distillery in Barbados.
Aroma: delicate pleasant aroma of orange and tropical fruit.
Taste: slightly sweet taste of orange, caramel, butter biscuits and raisins.
Conclusion: shorter, less intense but gentle. A slight hint of oak, anise, pepper and hot orange peel.
