  Bumbu Cream Panama Rum Liqueur 70 cl 15%

  Item no.: 22227865421-2021-01-0018

  Panama has had rum in its blood since 1890, when an old coastal distillery first started turning sugar cane into spirit.

  Bumbu Cream is the more indulgent side of that story - rum meeting cream, spice and a serious dose of comfort.

  The kind of bottle you reach for when the evening calls for something a little softer.

  Expert's Description

  Bumbu Cream is a Panamanian Cream Liqueur made from Panama rum and cream, bottled at 15%.

  It comes from Bumbu Rum Company, better known for its Original rum from Barbados - but the Cream expression is actually made somewhere else, at a distillery in Panama with roots going back to 1890.

  Bumbu blends the rum with fresh cream, sugar and natural flavourings, and the name itself nods to the recipes sailors improvised on their voyages through the 1600s and 1700s - more a story of hospitality than a secret formula.

  The liqueur isn't a limited release and sits permanently in the range, so there's no rush to track it down.

  The sweetness is upfront and leans dessert-like - the cream carries the flavour, while the rum gives it a darker base underneath.

  Taste

  On the nose, vanilla and burnt caramel lead, with a touch of coconut that reads more dessert than drink. On the palate it's creamy and full-bodied - sweetness arrives first, quickly followed by warm spices like cinnamon and a hint of toasted nuts. The rum sits underneath the whole thing like a dark, slightly scorched base, keeping the liqueur from turning cloying. The finish is long and soft, with caramel and one last touch of spice lingering well after the glass is empty.

  Bumbu XO Barbados Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865421-8709

  Up to 18 years in bourbon casks, followed by a stay in Spanish sherry oak from Andalusia. The XO edition takes Bumbu's lantern bottle into a different league.

  Expert description

  Bumbu XO is a Rum from Barbados, matured up to 18 years in American bourbon casks and finished in Spanish sherry casks, bottled at 40%.

  The rum is distilled through continuous column stills from locally grown sugar cane and matured in ex-bourbon casks for up to 18 years, after which it is finished in white Spanish oak casks from Andalusia that previously held sherry. The final sherry finish adds a layer of dried fruit sweetness and tannic complexity that lifts the XO edition considerably above the house's standard edition.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Toffee and toasted oak, followed by rich vanilla and a bright orange zest, with a hint of dried fruit from the sherry cask.

  Palate

  Rich toffee and brown sugar, followed by coffee, baking spice and a hint of black pepper.

  Finish

  Short and sweet, reminiscent of marmalade with a hint of cinnamon.
