Introducing the Equiano Original Journey of Discovery, a unique blend of rum that brings together the best of Barbados and Mauritius. This exceptional product is the result of a collaboration between two renowned figures in the world of rum: Richard Seale, known for his commitment to authentic rum and his Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, and Ian Burrell, the brains behind the UK Rum Festival and Brand Ambassador for Gray's Distillery in Mauritius.
The Equiano African-Caribbean Rum is a high-quality product that combines the finest rums from these two distinct regions. The first rum in the blend comes from Mauritius, specifically from Gray's distillery, and is a molasses rum distilled in columns and aged for 10 years in Cognac casks. This rum is then shipped to Barbados, where it is expertly blended with another molasses rum from Foursquare, which has been matured for 8 years.
The final product is a unique blend that celebrates the journey of Olaudah Equiano, a Nigerian who was forced into the colonies as a slave and gained his freedom through his rum trading skills. The rum is a testament to the rich history and tradition of rum-making in both the Caribbean and Africa.
The Equiano Original Journey of Discovery is a well-balanced and flavorful rum, with a minimum age of 8 years. The blend of rums from Gray's distillery in Mauritius, aged in French Limousin oak and ex-Cognac casks, and Foursquare distillery in Barbados, aged in American white oak casks, results in a rounded and flavorful rum with a great balance between fruity sweetness and soft, oaky spice.
This exceptional rum is marked by its rich and profound flavors, with no added sugar, spices, flavorings, or colorings. The extended maturation of the rum in two distinct tropical climates enables it to develop at an accelerated pace, resulting in a truly distinctive and unparalleled liquid.
