Equiano Original 8-Year

Great product from Richard Seale. Similiar to R.L.Seale's. Not that dry, a bit sweeter start and with characteristic Foursquare profile.

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

Everyone has already mentioned Ian Burrell / Seale collaboration so straight to the rum. Great bottle look and presentation. Beautiful light brown hues to the rum in the glass. I’m nosing a slight cinnamon scent very pleasing. Easy drinking the cinnamon, notes of cognac, very subdued bourbon flavors. Really quite nice slightly sweet, hope it’s produced again.

I just wonder whether the Mauritian and Bajan rums wouldn't be better by themselves rather than blended.

But what there is, is very pleasant. An intense sweetness (natural) married with soft oak, and a nice touch from the Cognac casks. Smooth and with a medium-long finish. It's a very good rum, but as I said, separately they might be better or at least, more interesting. Ultimately I have a fair few 8yo-14yo Barbados rums so that's nothing new. But I have far few Mauritian rums, and a 10yo would be more interesting to me than this blend.

This nice brown African/Caribbean rum gives you the experience of a sweet joyride down the beach side

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.

Smooth. Gentle, yet robust and flavorful. This rum would make a beautiful addition to any bar.

Velmi zajímavý původ a promítá do chuti. Neumím popisovat chuť rumu, který prostě chutná. Je malinko nasládlý a do krku mi sjel hodně rychle. Musím udělat nové ochutnávací kolečko.

This rum cant be bad. Elegant taste with citruses. Bitter taste connected with slight sweetness. Wooden ending

expensive for an 8 years old. and doesnt live up to the price concidereing there are some 23 or 30 year olds you can get for that price range. quorhum and ophyum.
