Equiano Rum is a never seen before blend of two cultures, two distilleries and two islands making it a perfect collaboration of east and west.  Their two expressions, Equiano Original and Equiano Light are limited batch blends from one of the best emerging distilleries in the world, Gray’s in Mauritius, and the world-renowned Barbadian distillery – Foursquare.
Bringing these two rum purists together means that Equiano is a 100% natural rum, with no spices, no colorants, no additives and no added sugar.
During Equiano Rum’s inception in 2018, its four founders pledged to donate five percent of global company profits to ground level freedom and equality projects, annually.  In addition, two dollars from each bottle sold directly through the website are automatically added to the grant-giving fund.
