Bumbu The Original Rum

About Bumbu The Original Rum

Bumbu The Original Rum is a premium rum product that hails from Barbados, the birthplace of rum itself. Known for its sophisticated process of creating, Bumbu’s carefully selected sugarcane is sourced from eight different countries renowned for their superior sugarcane production. The sugarcane is distilled using pure Barbadian water, giving Bumbu its unique and exceptional taste. This handcrafted rum undergoes a fermentation process for up to seven days, then carefully distilled using early colonial era pot stills. Aging takes place in beautiful Kentucky bourbon oak barrels for up to 15 years delivering a rich and unique product with complexity and depth. With its distinctive packaging that pays tribute to the seafarers of the 16-19th centuries who made their own homemade ‘Bumbu,’ this is a rum that grabs attention at first sight and lingers long after the last sip.
