Equiano Original 70cl 43°
Equiano Original rum is the result of a unique collaboration between 2 distilleries from different continents: the Gray's distillery in Mauritius in Africa, and the Foursquare distillery, on the island of Barbados in the Caribbean.
This rum is the result of a blend of rum from Gray's aged for 10 years in French Limousin oak barrels and ex-Cognac, as well as Foursquare rum aged in old Bourbon barrels. This rum is 100% natural, with no added spices, additives or sugar. Its tasting notes warm flavours of toffee, raisins and orange peel.
The name of this rum pays homage to Olaudah Equiano, a Nigerian slave who fought for freedom and equality, and who freed himself from his condition thanks to his talents as a trader in the sale of rum. In this idea, 5% of profits from sales of Equiano rum are donated to a charitable organization focused on equality.

Equiano is the meeting of Africa and the Caribbean in a rum, thus revolutionizing traditional rum production methods.
Rum distilleries attach great importance to the rum-making process, emphasizing their traditional know-how and highlighting their local terroir.
Equiano has revolutionized these production codes and offers rums made from a blend of rum from the best distilleries in the Caribbean and Africa. Mauritius-based Gray’s distillery is teaming up with Barbados’s Foursquare distillery to create an exceptional range of rums, having won Gold medals in the world's biggest competitions on several occasions.
At the origin of this approach: Ian Burrell, the world rum ambassador and Richard Seale, owner of the Foursquare distillery.
Together, they decided to create this Equiano rum in honour of Olaudah Equiano, a Nigerian who was sold as a slave in the Caribbean and who was able to free himself from his condition thanks to his talents as a rum trader, allowing him to earn enough to break free from its chains.
A real figure in the fight against slavery, for freedom and equality thanks to his writings, he had an important impact on the law on the transatlantic slave trade.
In line with these values, Equiano rum gives back 5% of the company's profits each year and $2 from each bottle purchased directly to the Equiano Rum Codes Foundation, which finances freedom and equality projects.
