Equiano Light 750 ml

Equiano Light Rum is a distinctive Afro-Caribbean spirit that masterfully blends two unique rum styles: lightly aged molasses rum from Barbados and fresh sugarcane juice rum from Mauritius. This collaboration between the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados and Gray's Distillery in Mauritius results in a rum that is both refreshing and sophisticated, challenging traditional perceptions of light rum.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Opens with a harmonious balance of fresh sugarcane, complemented by hints of vanilla, dried light oak, and subtle earthy, herbal notes. As it acclimates, aromas of light tropical fruits, citrus oils, and green apple emerge.

Palate: The initial taste reveals a medium sweetness of ripe sugarcane, layered with tropical fruit and citrus peel. Notes of green apples, pears, and hints of vanilla and light oak add depth, offering a light-bodied experience with the natural, subtle sweetness of exotic fruits.

Finish: The finish is characterized by a light dusting of wood, with the initial sweetness giving way to citrus peel, touches of vanilla, white pepper, and sweet spices.
