Afro-Caribbean Rum Equiano Light

 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!

 Creamy, rounded, buttery. Apple maybe ?

 Ist ganz okay dieser Rum, nichts besonderes aber in Ordnung. Man hat gleich Zuckerrohr in der Nase und für much riecht er auch recht würzig. Im Gaumen kommen dann Zitrusfrüchte und Zitronenschale dazu. Alkohol ganz gut eingebunden.

 Very exciting rum, especially the nose! I've never had anything comparable in a glass. It's not quite to my taste straight, the fresh sugar cane note is too present for me. But I have a very good feeling about using it in a cocktail one of these days. I think it could do very well there!
