Equiano Light Review
British-owned Equiano Rum honors history and gives to great causes — two very worthy reasons for buying this bottle alone. But the spirit more than succeeds by its own merits. Made using a blend of Caribbean and African rums, it draws you in with attractive vanilla and tropical fruit aromas. The palate is lively, energetic, and serves a mix of fresh fruit and sweet notes. We love it in cocktails.
