After having tried various spiced rums (and enjoying most of them) I decided to give this one a try based on local reviews which were very positive. This artisanal rum is further distilled with Barbados' naturally coral-filtered water, considered amongst the purest globally, resulting in a superbly smooth and indulgent spirit - all presented in a stylish bottle that exudes sophistication.A perfect combination of spicy and smooth, Bumbu have infused their original rum with real dairy cream to create this innovative liqueur. The General Wine Company sources wines from all over the world, but with a particular focus on small, independent producers. Tasting Notes: Bumbu The Original is made using native Caribbean spices and sugar cane from across the region, the recipe is based on original recipes used by West Indian sailors in the 16th adn 17th centuries and is extremely drinkable! The results are our award-winning premium rums that are exceptionally balanced and smooth, without sacrificing the richness and complexity that makes our distilleries in Barbados and Panama the world’s best – even if we are a little biased.

The flagship bottling is the Bumbu Original , but for something extra special, the Bumbu XO is an extra special rum that’s spent 18 years in ex-bourbon barrels, before being finished in ex-sherry casks. The purest water in the wolrd is used, naturally filtered through Barbados’s coral limestone, blended with 8 unique sugarcanes. Rich notes of cinnamon, vanilla, oak, and butterscotch coat the palate before culminating in a long, warmly spiced finish. Beautiful sweet rum, I recommended putting it in the freezer a couple hours before drinking as you wont need any ice that way and it becomes thicker like a thin treacle.
