Product description
Rum Duppy Share is a product of Westborne Drinks, a London-based company.
The name Duppy Share is a reference to Caribbean folklore, and to a phenomenon that occurs during the maturation of rum in oak barrels. Duppy are Caribbean spirits who have a special fondness for rum. They visit local rum distilleries and reduce the contents of the barrels by the best share. This is how the loss of rum in the barrels, which is essentially the result of evaporation, is justified. In Scotland, it is called the angels' share, but in the Caribbean, angels are too gentle figures.
Rum Duppy Share XO is a blend of rums from several distilleries and several countries scattered across the Caribbean. The blend consists of molasses-based and column-distilled distillates, aged in oak barrels for 12 years.
Aroma : Accents of stewed fruit, raisins and oak.
