In the whisky world, the angels take their share of whisky from the casks maturing it. In the Caribbean, it's the mischievous Duppy spirits that travel from island to island, taking their share of rum from the casks. This legend is where the stylish Duppy Share Caribbean Rum takes its name. It's made from a blend of bourbon-barrel-matured 5 year old rum from Barbados and 3 year old rum from Jamaica. A bright, bold and altogether very handsome rum.
Green banana, cinnamon, slightly oily, caramel.
Sultana and raisin, followed by vanilla and a hint of brine.
Lasting brown sugar, ginger and fresh lime.
This is ok as part of a cocktail, seriously lacking in taste when drunk straight. Mount Gay and Appleton Estate are better for a lower price.
Cheap and Nasty.
Yum in my tum
The Duppy Share represents a rum that can easily take you on a sipping experience without being overly challenging. A lovely bold rush of Jamaican pot still rum develops into a great rounded Bajan rum finish. Plenty of flavour, but really quite approachable. Blended from rums of truly authentic origin. I'm happy sipping it neat, but have enjoyed many daiquris and rum punches with this as the base spirit.
Received as a present....billed as a smooth sipping rum....it is neither! If this was a £17 bottle of golden rum to mic with lemonade or in a Daiquiri it would be perfectly acceptable. It isn't though....it's the best part of £30, billed as premium and a cut above the others. Quite simply it isn't Don't waste your money
