Bumbu The Original is a high-quality craft rum with a rich history, based on 16th and 17th-century recipes used by West Indian sailors. Created by Bumbu, it is distilled by WIRD in Barbados, a region renowned for its rum-making heritage. This exquisite rum is crafted using spices native to the Caribbean, sugar cane sourced from the islands and South America, and is aged for up to 15 years in bourbon barrels made from American white oak. The aging process utilizes high-quality water filtered through Barbados limestone, ensuring the purity and excellence of the final product. Importantly, no artificial colors, flavors, or additives are used during production, preserving the authenticity of Bumbu The Original. The rum boasts a sweet and rounded flavor profile, with delightful notes of banana candy, cinnamon, vanilla, and a slight spicy barley sugar undertone. Additional layers of flavor include roasted coffee and a syrupy, toasty oak essence. The maceration of spices from across the Caribbean further enhances its complexity. Bumbu The Original is an authentic expression of Caribbean legend, reminiscent of the 17th-century sailors and merchants who added fruits and spices to their rums, calling it "Bumbu." Handcrafted in small batches at Bumbu's historic distillery in Barbados, this rum is a true revival of this storied piece of Caribbean history. This rum is exceptionally drinkable on its own, whether sipped neat or on the rocks. While it can be used in cocktails, its high quality and unique flavor profile make it worthy of being enjoyed solo. The rum is presented in a striking bottle with two crossed bones on the label, evoking images of pirates, smuggling, and cultural or religious rituals. Bumbu The Original has a warm golden color, adding to its visual appeal.
