Bombarda Culverin Blended Dark Caribbean Rum 70 cl 43%

Named after an old type of cannon known for its rapid rate of fire - "coulverine", or "grass snake" in French - this rum is built to sneak up with a rapid burst of flavour.

Expert Description

Bombarda Culverin is a Blended Dark Caribbean Rum, 5-8 years old, aged on bourbon and white oak casks, bottled at 43%.

Bombarda's award-winning Lost Barrel Culverin Blend is a dark rum blend of three countries of origin - Barbados, the Dominican Republic and Panama. The name Culverin comes from "coulverine", an old type of cannon known for its rapid rate of fire, reflected in the rum's character: it sneaks up with a rapid burst of flavour. The rum is meticulously tropically aged on bourbon and white oak casks, giving a flavourful and cunning punch.

The Bombarda name generally draws on military-historical references, and Culverin is just one example of how the brand uses these throughout its releases.
