Bumbu Rum
customer reviews
Description
This craft rum is produced at the West Indies Rum Distillery, on the beautiful island of Barbados. Their rum is distilled from sugar cane, which is sourced from the Caribbean and South America, and fermented using a yeast strain that dates all the way back to 1840. Handcrafted in small batches, using native Caribbean ingredients, the rum is aged for up to 15 years in ex-bourbon barrels and blended for bottling.
Bumbu Rum gets its name from the 17th-century sailors that the once ruled the seas. Their drink of choice was a spiced concoction named affectionately "Bumbu," which was made using ingredients acquired over the course of their travels.
The modern take on this Carribean elixir consists of spices and sugarcane sourced from eight countries including Barbados, Belize, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guyana, and Honduras. Bottled at 35% ABV, this unique spirit is a Triple Gold Medal winner at the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition.
