Equiano Rum, the maker of the world’s first African and Caribbean rums, has introduced the launch of its first classic launch, an 11-year-old mix of Grey’s and Foursquare Rums.
Ominira, which suggests ‘freedom’ in Yoruba, is a tribute to the model’s namesake Olaudah Equiano with the 11 yr age assertion a nod to the age at which he was kidnapped and enslaved and the 52% abv a reference to the age to which he lived.
“Classic rum has shortly advanced right into a extremely cherished collector’s merchandise, and it’s an unimaginable honour to be unveiling Equiano’s first classic rum, Ominira, to market,” mentioned world rum ambassador and Equiano co-founder Ian Burrell.
“Ominira is a uncommon mix that fantastically marries rums from two of one of the best distilleries on this planet, and two cultures that characterize Equiano’s identification. The result’s a unprecedented piece of rum historical past that encapsulates the liberty and spirit of our model’s namesake, Olaudah Equiano – a liquid to have fun, toast and share with family members.”
The mix options rums distilled by acclaimed Barbadian distillery Foursquare and the Mauritius-based Grey’s distillery, that are matured in bourbon and cognac casks and completed in sherry.
The bottling marks the primary launch to the model’s Legacy Blends Sequence and is proscribed to three,000 bottles obtainable by means of the Equiano Rum web site.
Ominira might be obtainable on 15 April 2024 at an rrp of £180.
