The distilling of Bumbu The Original Rum is based on the original recipe created by West Indian sailors from the 16th and 17th centuries, who mixed local Caribbean ingredients into their rum and gave it the name "Bumbu" - truly the original spirit of craftsmanship.

Bumbu is produced at a historic Barbados distillery, founded in 1893 and continuously operated for over 120 years.

Using the same all-natural local spices and no artificial colours or flavours, Bumbu is an authentic revival of that piece of Caribbean history, distilled in small batches and hand-blended.

The glass bottle is a work of art in itself, adorned with a darkened metal "X" on the front and a map of the Caribbean on the back. Our favourite part is the old-fashioned, oversized cork - you'll hear a celebratory "pop" every time you open the bottle.
