The Duppy Share Aged Caribbean Rum 70 cl 40%

Two islands, two rum styles and one journey to London, where they are brought together and bottled under a name that plays with rum culture's oldest myth.

Expert Description

The Duppy Share Aged is a Caribbean Rum, a blend of 3-year-old Jamaican pot-still rum and 5-year-old Barbados rum, bottled at 40%.

Both rum components are aged in ex-bourbon casks in their respective home countries, after which they are shipped to London, where The Duppy Share blends and bottles the final rum. The powerful, 100% pot-still-distilled Jamaican rum provides a pronounced, funky foundation, while the 5-year-old Barbados rum adds a smooth, buttery softness that balances the whole.

The result is a bright, bold and well-proportioned rum where the two islands' styles meet in harmony.
