The Duppy Share Caribbean Rum

The Duppy Share is a blended Caribbean rum bringing together pot and column still rum from two well-regarded houses, Worthy Park in Jamaica for fruit and a touch of funk, and Foursquare in Barbados for balance. The name nods to the duppy, the local ghost said to take the angel's share, and the bottle is pitched squarely as a smooth, good-value everyday rum.

The blend marries Jamaican pot still character with the rounded Bajan style, aged in ex-bourbon oak, giving a soft, accessible profile rather than a heavy or funky one. Expect tropical fruit, light spice and a vanilla, buttery touch over gentle oak, with a fruity finish that runs a little thin. At 40% it is mild and approachable, a gentle introduction to a hint of Jamaican funk for drinkers used to softer Barbados-style rums, and an easy pour neat or in simple mixed drinks.
