Equiano Original 8-Year

The African sugar cane part is dominant for my feeling. This is what's I'm missing a lot in "regular rum". It is bold, smooth and extraordinary. No touch of alcohol from it's 43°.
Fruity, a yota spicy and easy on palate. Average long aftertaste.

Thanks Foursquare!

After 180+ reviews I am still amazed when I try a new rum that tastes nothing like I have tried before. This rum is dry (which is my favourite type of rum), somewhat spicy at 43% ABV and very tasty for an 8 year rum (not that I expected anything different with Richard Seale partnership in this offering). The nose is so appealing, the dryness, fruitness and toffee flavors are so well balanced the oak. A sip leaves your tastes buds wanting more and a nice warmth follows nicely after each sip. This rum is definitely a must to anyone that prefer dry rums. A definite 9 rating for me. Well done 👍

bohatej a príjemnej chuti, v ktorej dominuje čokoláda a dub, doplnená karamelom, zázvorom, olivami a melasou.

Rum molto dolce, seppur senza zuccheri aggiunti. Ottenuto da un perfetto blend di Grey Distillery nelle Mauritius e la Foursquare Distillery nelle Barbados. Presenta note dolci, zucchero di canna, toffee, butterscotch, uva sultanina con un finale molto lungo di arance e rovere.
Molto facile da bere, potrebbe non piacere ai puristi dei rum agricoli in stile francese, resta comunque uno dei miei rum preferiti, lo consoglio.

Oh wow! The nose is pretty bland, not a lot to smell there. But the body is nice and full with so many different tastes coming in and out! It's nice and rough, I could taste raisins, oak, some leathery notes. You can feel the age in the finish. If the taste was stronger and the nose was more present and pleasant it could be a ten!

Super rum. Zaujímavý blend. Sedela mi tá ostrosť, pomaranč mi vôbec nevadil. Určite si kúpim fľašku

this is a great rum especially for the money, better than most!

The Equiano Rum is a blend from Mauritius (10y) and Barbados (8y). The wedding took place in the Foursquare Distillery. No additives have been added. The number of bottles is limited.

The rum shows a mild sweet and a slightly fruity note in the nose. On the palate you can taste the natural barrel sweetness and aromas of vanilla and caramel. Dry and natural, he has classic unadulterated rum flavors. A little sharpness in the finish with a light wood note harmonize with a little sweetness, which then quickly goes into the background again.

For less than 50Euro you get a limited authentic rum, which brings its own character and stands out from the crowd. The rum also does everything right in design. The Bernstein-coloured rum is kept dignified and is a true eye-catcher.

THe Equiano is perfect for all fans of dry rums who don't want artificial sweetness. I can also imagine the rum is good for beginners. Clear purchase recommendation. Try it... it is limited!

Der Equiano Rum ist ein Blend aus Mauritius (10y) und Barbados (8y). Die Hochzeit hat in der Foursquare Distillerie statt gefunden. Es wurden keine Zusatzstoffe hinzugefügt. Die Flaschen Anzahl ist limitiert.

Der Rum zeigt in der Nase eine milde süße und eine leicht fruchtige Note. Am Gaumen schmeckt man die natürliche Fass Süße und Aromen von Vanille und Karamell. Trocken und natürlich verwöhnt er bein Trinken mit klassischen unverfälschten Rum Aromen. Etwas Schärfe im Abgang mit einer leichten Holznote harmonieren mit etwas Süße die sich dann aber auch wieder schnell in den Hintergrund begibt.

Für unter 50Euro bekommt man einen limitierten authentischen Rum, welcher einen eigenen Charakter mit bringt und sich von der Masse abhebt. Auch im Design macht der Rum alles richtig. Der Berstein farbende Rum wird würdevoll aufbewahrt und ist ein wahrer hingucker.

Ich kann den Equiano für alle Fans von trockenen Rums, die keine künstliche Süße möchten, empfehlen. Ich kann mir den Rum auch gut für Einsteiger vorstellen. Klare Kaufempfehlung. Zuschlagen...ist limitiert!

Nice elegant, fresh and warm rum with gentle long sweetness and fruits with some vanilla and oak.

Bought this out of curiosity and very glad I did. Warm sweet glow with a long smooth finish. Just needs an ice cube to bring it out.
