Bumbu

Bumbu Subheading

 

Legendary taste

Based on a recipe that dates back to the 16th century West Indies, Bumbu Original Spiced Rum has made a name for itself over many years. Produced in Barbados, the native Caribbean ingredients, mixed with carefully selected spices make for a delightfully palatable rum.

The Bumbu distillery has been active for over 120 years. The rum that comes out of this factory is aged meticulously for up to 15 years, in former bourbon barrels, which helps give Bumbu its unique and distinctive flavours. Creating the perfect craft rum is an art form that Bumbu have truly mastered.

Bumbu’s ultra-heavyweight glass bottle is a work of art on its own, adorned with a tarnished metal “X” on the front and map of the Caribbean across the back. And the best part? The old-fashioned, oversized cork means you’ll hear a festive POP each time you crack open the bottle, because every time you drink Bumbu, it should be a celebration.
