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.
Equiano Light Rum is a young white Afro-Caribbean rum created by two authorities in the world of rum, Ian Burrell and Richard Seale. It is a combination of fine-grained molasses rum from the Caribbean island of Barbados from the renowned local distillery Foursquare Rum Distillery and fresh sugar cane juice from the African island of Mauritius, produced by Gray's Distillery. It is rum, which is a perfect example of the fact that even young and white rums can be as sophisticated as dark rums aged for years. The taste profile develops the typical grass-vegetable taste of rum from sugar cane juice, tropical fruit, delicate dry tones of oak wood with predominant vanilla and citrus peel.
Equiano Light Rum is best enjoyed in classic cocktails.
We especially recommend it as the basis of the Daiquiri cocktail.
