Bumbu

Bumbu is craft rum with Caribbean soul. Made in Barbados at a distillery dating back to 1893, it takes its name from the "bumbu" spice blends West Indian sailors once added to their rum. Shop the Bumbu range online at The Bottle Club with next-day UK delivery when you order by 2pm.

The Bumbu range

Bumbu The Original is the flagship in its striking barnacle-textured bottle — a smooth blend of Caribbean rums with rich banana, vanilla, toasted oak and warm spice. Sweet, sippable and endlessly giftable. Bumbu XO is aged up to 18 years in bourbon barrels and finished in sherry casks for deeper notes of dark chocolate, coffee and orange zest — a rum for whisky drinkers. Bumbu Crème blends the Original with fresh Caribbean cream for a decadent liqueur that transforms hot chocolate and espresso martinis.

How to drink Bumbu

The Original shines neat over a large cube of ice, in a rum old fashioned, or simply with ginger ale and lime. XO deserves a slow sip after dinner. Crème belongs over ice, in coffee, or drizzled over dessert. The distinctive bottles need no wrapping — Bumbu is one of our most-gifted rums for a reason.
