How does this rum taste?
Equiano Light Rum is a unique blend from Afro-Caribbean Rum, crafted with rum from Grays Distillery in Mauritius and Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. It is distilled from molasses and sugar cane juice using a column still, aged three years, and bottled at 43% ABV. On the nose, it features prominent sugarcane, spice, and vanilla notes, while the palate reveals creamy sugarcane, citrus, and subtle peppery flavors. Though appreciated for its smoothness and versatility in cocktails, some find its body too light and the flavors mild. This rum is ideal for those seeking a refined, easy-to-drink option at a reasonable price, suitable for both sipping and mixing in various cocktails.

Overall an quite interesting rum that works well neat as well as in drinks and cocktails that I tasted at the Cane Rum Society in Stockholm which is the bar in Europe with largest amount of different rum on their shelves. The tasting was led by the co-founder of the brand, Mr Ian Burrell. It saw the light of they not far ago in a collaboration between Grays Distillery in Mauritius, Mr. Ian Burrell and Mr. Richard Seale owner of the Foursquare Distillery. It consists of unaged rum from Grays made from sugar cane juice and 3yo molasses based rum from Foursquare.
Both the smell and the taste are very strongly reminiscent of pretzels and pretzels. But ultimately the rum is too light for my taste and has too little body
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
A great flambéed banana note and cream toffee with candied ginger. Plus plenty of green Granny Smith apple with cinnamon and honeydew melon. Super unusual and delicious. Makes a great pornstar martini!
