Afro-Caribbean Rum Grays Equiano

Equiano from Afro-Caribbean Rum is a blend that bridges Africa and the Caribbean, marrying aged molasses rum across origins, with Foursquare's influence clear in its polished, balanced shape. It is a pot and column blend matured in ex-bourbon oak and bottled at nine years, an approachable sipper that aims for natural roundness over heavy sweetening.

The profile sits in a soft, dry-leaning register: vanilla, wood and honey with dried fruit, closing on orange peel, oak and a little spice and sharpness. It keeps a gentle sweetness while nudging toward the drier, Foursquare-leaning end of the style, so it lands somewhere between a sugared crowd-pleaser and a transparent aged rum. At 43% it stays easy and even, a tidy neat starter or a casual companion to a cigar.
