Bumbu The Original is a rum-based spirit from Barbados with an alcohol content of 40 per cent, available in a 0.7-litre bottle. It is produced by combining rum components from various countries of origin, including Barbados, Belize, Brazil, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guyana and Honduras. Individual components of the blend have been aged for up to 15 years. The rums used are aged in former bourbon casks, which lend the composition additional depth and structure. Bumbu The Original is then refined with natural spices. According to the available product information, no artificial colours or flavourings are added.


The inspiration for Bumbu stems from a historical tradition in the West Indies, where rum was enhanced with local spices and other ingredients. Today’s Bumbu Original Spirit Drink takes up this idea in a modern form, combining matured rum components with a distinctive spicy character. In particular, the combination of rums up to 15 years old, from various countries of origin, and the ageing process in ex-bourbon casks makes this bottling a distinctive alternative to classic rum. With its distinctive bottle and large, metallic-looking ‘X’, Bumbu also has a high recognition factor and is ideal both for the home bar and as a gift for lovers of sweet and spicy rum specialities.
