In Barbados, where our Original Bumbu is made, rum isn’t just another spirit. It’s the original rum island, where rum was first created some 400 years ago. Bajans have spent the last few centuries perfecting the art of distilling and blending our country’s most famous export. At Bumbu Rum Company, we craft our rums from a blend of the finest sugarcane we can find. Our rums are exceptionally balanced and smooth, without sacrificing the richness and complexity that makes our distilleries in Barbados and Panama the world’s best – even if we’re a little biased.
Bumbu The Original Rum offers a rich and indulgent tasting experience. The aroma opens with a luxurious blend of banana cream pie and cola, setting a sweet and inviting tone. On the palate, this rum is dominated by flavours of caramel and toffee, enhanced by undercurrents of banana, chocolate, and nutmeg that add depth and complexity. This blend of flavours produces a velvety, dessert-like richness that is both bold and comforting. The finish is smooth, with lingering notes of frosted spice cake and caramelized fruit, providing a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience. This rum's sweet profile and spiced nuances make it a distinctive choice for those who appreciate a rum with pronounced flavours and a sumptuous finish.
