The world's first Afro-Caribbean rum, blended from aged molasses rums from Barbados & Mauritius, Equiano is named for Olaudah Equiano - born in 1745 and sold into slavery as a teenager, he purchased his freedom with the profits of selling rum on the side. He went on to become a freedom fighter: a writer and speaker, his powerful memoirs went on to inform the transatlantic slave trade act and impact the freedom of people all over the world. Equiano’s values distill the beliefs of the distillery perfectly and that is why they give 5% of company profits and $2 of every bottle purchased to ground-level freedom and equality projects annually.
Equiano Light is refreshingly unique, a blend of lightly aged molasses rum from the Caribbean fused with fresh sugar cane juice from Africa. Aromas of fresh sugarcane with hints of vanilla, dried light oak and touches of earthy, herbal notes. Medium sweet with tropical fruit and citrus peel, layered with green apples, pears and hints of vanilla and light oak on the palalte.
