The Duppy Share Spiced Rum is distilled with meticulous attention to detail at a distillery renowned for its innovative approach to rum production. This spiced rum is a tribute to the rich heritage of Caribbean rum-making, expertly infused with a blend of spices and tropical flavours that reflect the vibrant spirit of its origins. The use of traditional pot stills and aged in ex-bourbon barrels enriches the rum with a complex character, making it a distinguished member of the premium rum category.
The Duppy Share is named after the Caribbean spirits, known as 'Duppies,' who, according to island folklore, swoop between the islands stealing the best share of the rum. These spirits are said to have a fine taste in rum, choosing only the best to steal, which inspired the brand's focus on quality and character.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: The rum presents a luminous amber hue, indicative of its time spent maturing in oak barrels, which imparts a graceful ageing to its profile.
- Aroma: A rich tapestry of scents greets the nose; vibrant notes of clove and nutmeg are beautifully intertwined with hints of cinnamon and vanilla, offering a warm, inviting introduction.
- Flavour: On the palate, The Duppy Share Spiced Rum delivers a robust spice-forward profile balanced with undertones of sweet caramel and tropical fruits like pineapple and banana. These elements combine to create a dynamic taste experience that evolves with each sip.
- Mouthfeel: The texture is luxuriously smooth, with a body that coats the palate, leading to a lingering finish that resonates with the warmth of spices and the sweetness of tropical fruit.
The Duppy Share Spiced Rum is an excellent companion to a variety of culinary delights. Its rich and spicy profile complements the smoky flavours of grilled meats, making it ideal for barbecue dishes. It also pairs splendidly with creamy desserts such as vanilla bean ice cream or coconut custard, where its spice elements can play off the sweetness of the dishes. For a unique pairing, consider spicy Asian cuisines, where the rum's bold flavours stand up to the intense spices and herbs used in dishes such as Thai curries or Indian biryanis.
