Tasting Notes
ADDITIONAL INFO
Equiano is 100% natural, with no spices, no additives and no added sugar. All of our rich and deep flavours come from the ex-bourbon and ex-cognac casks that it tropically matures in.
Named after Olaudah Equiano, a freedom fighter who liberated himself by selling rum. Equiano stood for equality and that is why 5% of company profits & £2 of every bottle purchased here will go to ground level freedom and equality projects annually.
EQUIANO HAS BEEN THE VISION OF TWO LEGENDARY INDUSTRY FIGURES
IAN BURRELL - Global Ambassador to the Rum Category
One of the most travelled and highly acclaimed specialists within the drinks industry, and the only Global World Rum Ambassador, Ian has been nominated six times for International Spirits Ambassador at the Spirited Awards and since 2013 he became the drinks expert on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch
RICHARD SEALE - Master Blender at Foursquare & Equiano.

Our rum is a collaboration between two purists, the prestigious Gray’s distillery in Mauritius and the multi award winning Foursquare distillery in Barbados.
Carefully cultivated in two different yet distinct tropical climates, means Equiano matures at a far faster rate than other dark spirits, delivering a liquid that is like no other.
