Equiano Rum 70cl

Equiano Rum is a distinct blended Rum, bringing together spirit from Gray’s Distillery in Mauritius and Foursquare in Barbados. The Mauritian rum is matured in ex-cognac casks for a minimum of 10 years, then blended with award-winning ex-bourbon cask rum from Barbados to create a layered, characterful pour.

On the nose, rich dried fruit notes of raisins and sultanas sit alongside sweet toffee, butterscotch and caramel, finishing with suggestions of orange peel, vanilla and buttered wood. The palate follows with warm toffee and butterscotch, with chewy raisin and brown sugar flavours. Although naturally sweet with no added sugar or spices, the finish is medium to sweet, with touches of oak, anise, sweet pepper and a hint of bitter orange peel.
