An interesting rum at Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is made from a mixture of several premium extra old rums from Barbados. It is created in honor of Master Blender Alexander Gabriel!
Rums were first aged for 8 to 15 years in ex-bourbon oak barrels in Barbados before mixing. They were then transported to the southwest of France, where they matured for 2 to 10 years in Ferrand oak barrels. They were combined and mixed for a long time until they reached the right synchronization.
The rum was filled into luxury design bottles, which are wrapped in a straw net. The bottle is contained in a minimalist brown-gold gift box.
Equiano is a unique Afro-Caribbean unsweetened molasses rum. This blend is mixed with molasses from Gray's distilleries on the African island of Mauritius and Foursquare on the island of Barbados.
Rum is first aged in Mauritius for 10 years in Limousin French oak and ex-cognac barrels. They are then transported to Barbados, where they are mixed with rum, which has been aged for at least 8 years in ex-bourbon barrels in Barbados.
Rum is named after the Nigerian writer Olaudah Equiano, who was a prominent aboliconist, a traveler, and one of the first slave freedom fighters in Africa. By trading in rum, Olaudah redeemed himself from slavery and could devote himself to the slave liberation movement. This is one of the reasons why the rum company (Equiano Rum Co) devotes a certain percentage of its profits to promoting equality.
Equiano is exclusively mixed and bottled at Foursquare Distillery in Barbados.
