Our next guests are Ian Burrell and Aaisha Dadral, Co-founders of The Equiano Rum Company, creators of the world’s first African and Caribbean rums. This pioneering venture not only celebrates the rich heritage of rum but also champions the values of freedom and equality, inspired by the legendary figure Olaudah Equiano.
Ian, known globally as the Rum Ambassador, has spent decades entertaining and educating audiences about the diverse and exhilarating world of rum. He is the visionary behind The UK RumFest, which has inspired a wave of similar festivals worldwide. Ian is one of the most traveled and respected figures in the rum industry, known for his passion and deep knowledge of the craft.
Aaisha, a branding and marketing executive, began her illustrious career in the music industry with major record labels like Island Records, Mercury/Def Jam Records, and Levels Entertainment. She is also the founder of Crave, a brand studio that showcases her innovative approach to branding and marketing. Her expertise has been instrumental in shaping Equiano Rum’s distinctive identity and global appeal.
Together with their partner Amanda, Ian and Aaisha have set out to make a significant impact not only in the rum category but in the global spirits industry. Drawing inspiration from the remarkable journey of Olaudah Equiano—from slavery to freedom—they have introduced the world’s first African and Caribbean rum. This unique blend not only pays homage to Equiano’s legacy but also contributes a percentage of the profits to organizations dedicated to freedom and equality annually.
The story of Equiano Rum is not just about producing exceptional spirits; it’s about creating a brand that embodies resilience, liberation, and a commitment to positive change. This ethos resonates deeply with those who believe in the transformative power of storytelling and the importance of honoring cultural heritage while driving social progress.
