Equiano Original 8-Year

A well balanced rum with a flowery taste with a spicy aftertaste. I can feel some arrack and raisin also.

Soft taste, nice party rum, when you do not expect strong personality/finish, easly applicable... I have to say, that after 1st sip, I underestimated the taste, but now I think soft milk chockolate, little almonds and soft soft vanilla flavour plays arround ;-)

A smooth rum, with hints of oak. Just a little afterburn. Mixing wasn’t as nice as straight.

For the age and proof it is amazing smooth. Mild fruity sweetness with just a tiny hint of cognac. Flavor seems to disappear from the palate quickly, that would be my only knock on it. Wish it had a little more body and depth. Solid sipper

bohatej a príjemnej chuti, v ktorej dominuje čokoláda a dub, doplnená karamelom, zázvorom, olivami a melasou.

I bought a bottle of this for $30 US. Which is in the low price end of decent rum.

This was a really pleasant surprise.

The nose is very pleasant with no ethanol. Not particularly strong. Notes of citrus and caramel.

Unusual flavor... in a good way. Perhaps it's the power of suggestion, but there are definitely nice notes of "Cognac Oak", not sure how else to describe it. It is dry without being too dry. Lots of dried fruit flavors (without the sweetness).

The finish is long and reminds me of the aftertaste of dry sherry with some smoky notes lingering at the end of the finish.

Au nez un peu boisé, au goût noisette caramel et vanille. Il a une longue finale. Vraiment un rhum âgé (un peu cher) mais qui est vraiment. Je rachèterais une bouteille si ce n était pas du prix élevé.

Definitely worth adding to the rum cabinet. Very smooth, almost no bite, great flavor, but not complex. A little sweeter than my favorites. Just compared to Trouvadore, and I judge them equal. Great, but not spectacular.

I'm still new to rum drinking, but it seems unlikely to me that Foursquare would blend their rum with an African rum, but they did, and I like it. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but I'd say it tastes like a mix of Pasador de Oro Gran Reserva with a bit more bite and extra flavor like you'd expect from adding Foursquare to the mix. The woody notes from Foursquare are definitely present, and mixed with what I perceive to be a spanish solera type rum from Mauritius. I think I paid something like $43 for it, definitely a good value.

La complessiva leggerezza, il fruttato profumo che dona piacere e, anzitutto, l'esplosione delle note d'arancia sono le caratteristiche del Rum Equiano Original 8 Year.
