The World's First Premium African Caribbean Rum Reimagines a 400-Year-Old Category – Repeating Islands

“We wanted to get some conversation flowing. We wanted people to start asking: Why shouldn’t a rum sit side-by-side with a top bourbon, a single malt whiskey, an amazing rye, some really good aged tequila, or Cognac?” Ian Burrell says, with a sense of confidence. “Because that’s what I want people to look at—the rum category. For me, it’s bigger than any one brand. Equiano meant to elevate the whole category.” Burrell should know a thing or two about this mission: He’s a household name in the spirits industry, founder of the world’s first-ever rum festival (which started way back in 2003), and a multi-award-winning global rum ambassador. And though Equiano only launched in 2020, it’s fair to say Burrell hasn’t just elevated the category—he’s reimagined it entirely in his own image. “My ethnicity here in the United Kingdom is African Caribbean,” he explains. Equiano Rum, as such, is the first African Caribbean rum.

Inside the scandalous career of Piers Morgan

Jeff Spicer/Getty Images He's been fired, censured, investigated, rebuked by a judge and questioned by police. He left "Good Morning Britain" after facing criticism for his Meghan Markle comments.  In the summer of 2015, shortly after his 50th birthday, Piers Morgan held a party of breathtaking extravagance for 300 guests in the grounds of his country home, close to the village where he grew up in East Sussex, south of London. The theme was The Great Gatsby. There was caviar, lobster, truffles and endless cocktails, served by waiters in period costume. Female guests came as flappers and men wore tuxedos or blazers. They brought wine as gifts and Rupert Murdoch, one of Morgan's mentors, sent a case from his personal vineyard. In Morgan's indoor pool synchronized swimmers performed an homage to Busby Berkeley, while a tuba player blew fire from his instrument. The host, inevitably, was dressed in a white suit and yellow tie in imitation of Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of Jay Gatsby.

The Equiano range has now been extended with the new Equiano Light rum. The rum is a blend of ‘lightly aged’ molasses rum from the Caribbean and infused with fresh sugar cane juice rum from Africa. The expression has notes of ripe sugarcane, natural vanilla and citrus, and is bottled at 43% ABV.
