Equiano extends range with white rum
24th February, 2021 by Nicola Carruthers
African and Caribbean brand Equiano will release a white rum across Europe this spring, the brand’s first line extension.
Equiano Light rum is bottled at 43% ABV
Described as the world’s first Afro-Caribbean rum, Equiano was created by rum authorities Ian Burrell and Richard Seale in October 2019. It is a blend of molasses rums from Barbados-based Foursquare Rum Distillery, where Seale is master distiller, and Mauritius-based Gray’s Distillery.
The Equiano range has now been extended with the new Equiano Light rum.
The rum is a blend of ‘lightly aged’ molasses rum from the Caribbean and infused with fresh sugar cane juice rum from Africa. The expression has notes of ripe sugarcane, natural vanilla and citrus, and is bottled at 43% ABV.
