Duppy Share Aged Caribbean Rum

The Duppy Share Aged: A Liquid Treasure from the Caribbean

Calling all rum lovers! Set sail for an unforgettable journey with The Duppy Share Aged, a meticulously crafted blend of aged Caribbean rums that embodies the vibrancy and spirit of the islands. This award-winning expression is a must-have for any rum aficionado's collection, offering a complex flavour profile that's both bold and beautifully balanced.

Island Inspiration and Heritage

The Duppy Share name itself draws inspiration from rich Caribbean folklore. Legends speak of mischievous "duppies," spirits who sneak between islands, taking their fair share of rum as it matures in casks. This whimsical tale reflects the rum's essence – a blend that captures the soul of the Caribbean in every sip.

A Symphony of Flavours

The marriage of these two rums results in a captivating flavour experience. Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect on your tasting adventure:

• Colour: The Duppy Share Aged boasts a warm, amber hue, hinting at the rich aged rums within the blend.
• Nose: As you raise the glass to your nose, a wave of enticing aromas greets you. The initial burst might be dominated by ripe tropical fruits, like mango, banana, and pineapple, courtesy of the Jamaican pot still rum. Hints of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of oak peek through from the Barbadian component, adding depth and complexity.
• Palate: The first sip is an explosion of flavour. The Jamaican rum brings forth its bold, fruity character, with notes of banana, passionfruit, and a hint of peppery spice. The Barbadian rum then steps in, introducing a smooth, buttery texture and subtle oaky undertones. The two rums work in perfect harmony, creating a delightful tension between fiery and smooth, sweet and spicy.
• Finish: The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant warmth on the palate. The oaky notes from the aging casks become more prominent, intertwined with lingering hints of vanilla and tropical fruits.

Unveiling the Duppy Share Aged's Versatility

The Duppy Share Aged is a true chameleon, equally adept at being enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a base for creative cocktails. Here are some suggestions to unlock its full potential:
