Bumbu The Original Barbados Rum
$46.00
Bumbu The Original Barbados Rum is made with a blend of sugar cane “from eight different countries” in the Caribbean and South America, the bottle contains a blend of rums, some aged as long as 15 years. The end result is a maple syrup hue and fruity, peach nectar-like notes on the nose and palate. Look for a lightly sweet flavor, evoking brown sugar, vanilla, fruit and nuts, with a round, cinnamon- and ginger-laced finish.

About
Bumbu is made at a historic Barbadian distillery founded in 1893 and continuously operated for more than 120 years. Our rum is distilled using two continuous stills and aged up to 15 years in grade-A, once-used Kentucky bourbon barrels. The yeast used during fermentation is a distillery secret that dates back as far as 1840, when some of our original iron pot stills were cast.
Bumbu The Original Barbados Rum is based on the original recipe created by 16th and 17th century sailors of the West Indies, who blended native Caribbean ingredients into their rum and called it “Bumbu” – truly the original craft spirit. Using the same all-natural native spices and no artificial colors or flavors, our rum is an authentic revival of this piece of Caribbean history, distilled in small batches and blended by hand. We’re pretty sure our great-great-grandfathers would approve.
Our ultra-heavyweight glass bottle is a work of art on its own, adorned with a tarnished metal ”X” in front and map of the Caribbean across the back. Our favorite part is the old-fashioned, oversized cork – you’ll hear a celebratory POP each time you crack open the bottle. We like to sip our Bumbu The Original Barbados Rum straight, but try it over ice or in your favorite cocktail.
