On the palate: Equiano delivers all the natural sweet notes of a well-aged rum from American white oak ex-bourbon casks. Named after Olaudah Equiano, an entrepreneur and freedom fighter whose autobiography shaped history.

Equiano starts its journey at Gray's distillery in Mauritius, where fresh molasses is barrelled for 10 years in a combination of French Limousin Oak and Cognac casks, giving the liquid complexity and depth of flavour. This expression blends molasses rum from the Caribbean with sugar cane juice rum from Africa to create this one-of-a-kind dram. The expression is the world's first African and Caribbean rum blend, making it one of the most unique rums on the market.Named after Olaudah Equiano, a freedom fighter who liberated himself by selling rum, Equiano rum shares its valued with its namesakes and continues to work within communities across both continents.

The company is committed to supporting ethical and sustainable practices in the production of their rum, and a portion of their profits goes towards supporting social justice causes. Blended with rum from Africa and the Caribbean, aromas of vanilla and dried oak are complimented by pears, pink grapefruit and grassy notes on the palate. The aged Barbadian component takes centre stage here, as the tropical aging of the rum, in once used American oak barrels, leaves a light dusting of wood on the finish.
