About Bumbu

Bumbu is a handcrafted Barbados rum, produced in small batches at a distillery that has existed since 1893. For the newcomer, Bumbu is an accessible, sweet entry point into rum with clear notes of banana, caramel and vanilla; for the connoisseur, the interest lies in the water used in production - filtered through Barbados's coral limestone, one of the purest water sources in the world - and in the brand's connection to the island's status as the very birthplace of rum.

History & Background

The name Bumbu comes from a Caribbean legend of trading sailors in the 16th and 17th centuries, who mixed local fruits and spices with their rum and called the result "bumbu". Barbados is considered the original "rum island", where rum was first distilled around 400 years ago, and it's on this historical foundation that Bumbu builds its identity today. The rum is still made at an authentic distillery on Barbados that has existed since 1893, following a recipe said to follow the same basic approach used by those old sailors.

Production & Style

The rums from Barbados and Panama are matured separately before blending and a light spicing with vanilla and tropical fruit, giving a pronounced sweetness.

Signature Style

Sweet, Vanilla, Tropical
Creamy vanilla, ripe banana and caramel dominate in an easy-drinking style well suited to cocktails like Daiquiri and Old Fashioned variations.
