Tasting Notes

On the Nose: Rich notes of dried fruits such as raisins and sultanas combined with sweet toffee, butterscotch and caramel culminating with a suggestion of orange peel, vanilla and buttered wood. On the palate: Equiano delivers all the natural sweet notes of a well-aged rum from American white oak ex-bourbon casks. It has a warm toffee and butterscotch mouth-feel, with chewy raisins and brown sugar flavours that emerge from the liquid as it caresses your tongue. To finish: Although Equiano is a naturally sweet rum, it has a medium to sweet ending with touches of oak, anise, sweet pepper with a hint of bitter orange peel.
