Duppy Share - George Frost

Introducing George Frost. He runs Duppy Share, a London based, Caribbean born drinks business inspired by rum folklore.  A brand so synonymous with rum in the UK, that you’d be hard pressed to remember that they’re only seven years old. No doubt you’ve tasted their blends of Jamaican and Barmudan rums, on the streets of Notting Hill carnival, mixed your own at a house party, or danced the night away with a raised, golden Duppy cup in your hand. (And if you haven’t I’d recommend their 5 year old, oak aged blend to get you started).  But while the story of rum and the caribbean, is one of fun, excitement and a welcoming nature. George’s story is one that is bittersweet. He lost his father aged 26 and his brother two years later. Realising how ‘fragile’ life is, he was inspired to take the leap to start Duppy Share, spurred on by his father’s motto ‘Never waste a second.’  In this episode we get up close and personal with George, delving into Duppy’s origin story, his recent collaboration with grime artists Kano and of course the rum itself.
