Equiano Original 8-Year

One of many with no added sugar and spicy. Taste of vanilla, raisins, orange.

Soft taste, nice party rum, when you do not expect strong personality/finish, easly applicable... I have to say, that after 1st sip, I underestimated the taste, but now I think soft milk chockolate, little almonds and soft soft vanilla flavour plays arround ;-)

Equiano - afro karibský kalibr. Foursquare tady má svůj podpis. Celkem dobře pitelný rum. Nicméně si myslím, že obsah lahve by měl mít jinou cenovku.

A nice and mellow rum pleasant on the palate. Not too sweet. I would not be ashamed to serve it to anyone with no experience with rum that would not like to get a sugar shock. Would buy again.

A deep leather color with nice legs. Oak on the nose with subtle hints of vanilla, simple but very nice. Clean palate, simple but elegant. Decent mouth feel, dry finish with some pepper on the back.

Overall a very nice mid range rum. Perfectly suited neat or in high end cocktails, far too nice for simple mixers. 7/10

A well balanced rum with a flowery taste with a spicy aftertaste. I can feel some arrack and raisin also.

Sugar estimated at 5 GPL. This is another fairly dry Mauritian rum that has been enhanced by the use of cognac and bourbon barrels. Overall it's still got that vegetal flavour that I find with the Mauritian rums, but it's better than any other rum from Mauritius that I have tasted. This is a bit overproof and that shows through in the taste and burn. It's spicy and has a taste of sweetness and would be best served over ice. Straight up I found it to have a whiskey taste but the cognac is also present. Bit of caramel and a fair amount of oak. It's not a bad rum and is a
Solid 7, but for $87 CDN, it's overpriced.

Nose - Dry. Wine, spice. Simple.

Taste - Dry rum, but sweetness can be tasted too. Very good. Foursquare roots are felt, but this blend is little weak in flavor field for me. Finish is spicy.
