This is a Christmas present for our son, he lives his rum and I thought I'd buy this for him as its new, found it advertised on Facebook and liked the way it was presented and also the cause it helps

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Such a lovely flavourful rounded rum, would be such a waste to mix this with anything as it’s an excellent sipper on its own. It has lots of spices, vanilla and oak. Really good casks have been used i... See more

Dispatch problem.

The goods were supposedly dispatched but didn't appear to be in transit on enquiring i was told they were still in the warehouse this was rectified but the courier company used were slow to deliver. I must add this is the 3rd year I've purchased goods from Equiano and the first time there's been any problems.

Ordered

Ordered, quoted 2 days. The 2 emails for the company both bounce back as not found.
Poor service, pay on credit card to give yourself protection

Excellent Rum!

Such a lovely flavourful rounded rum, would be such a waste to mix this with anything as it’s an excellent sipper on its own. It has lots of spices, vanilla and oak. Really good casks have been used in the making of this rum

Did not receive my full order

I made 2 orders. In my first order, I ordered 1 large bottle or aged rum, which was delivered efficiently. In the 2nd order, I ordered 1 large bottle and 1 small bottle of aged rum. I received the large bottle, but did not receive the small bottle. I had sent an email expressing an item was missing. But I got no response. It's not ok to take a customer's money for an item, not send the goods and then not communicate. Granted mistakes happen, but there seems to be no resolution. Other than that, the bottle looks very classy. I can't comment on the taste of the rum as the two large bottle I bought are gifts, whilst the small bottle that I didn't receive would have been a present to me.
