BUMBU The Original

An authentic Caribbean legend, the flagship Original Bumbu is blended from fine Barbados rum and hand-selected spices that evoke the rich and colorful history of the West Indies. Bumbu reveals its heritage and craftsmanship with every sip.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: The rum is displayed in a deep gold, with amber glints that reflect its maturation in oak barrels. It is a warm colour, reminiscent of the sun's rays filtering through the rainforest, a hue that invites you to discover its complexity. As you swirl the glass, the light plays on its surface, revealing a soft and tempting density.

NOSE: As you bring the glass closer, an enveloping aromatic wave unfolds. First, sweet notes of vanilla and caramel intertwine with the smoothness of honey, awakening the senses with a promise of softness. Then, lightly spiced aromas emerge, such as cinnamon and a subtle hint of clove, bringing a welcoming warmth. In the background, the presence of ripe tropical fruits (pineapple, banana and some mango) peeks timidly, adding a fresh and fruity twist. It is a rich, complex and balanced nose, suggesting both the artisanal heritage and the vibrant climate of the Caribbean islands.

TASTE: The first sip reveals a silky, full-bodied rum. The creamy texture glides smoothly over the palate, offering a comforting warm sensation. Caramel and honey flavours develop immediately, followed by an explosion of ripe fruits, such as banana and an exotic touch of passion fruit, which provide freshness and depth. As the rum moves across the palate, spices, such as nutmeg and a hint of clove, are subtly present, providing a complexity that is revealed layer by layer. The oak wood, with its toasty and slightly smoky notes, adds a robust base that perfectly balances the sweetness of the rum. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a lingering aftertaste that invites reflection, with a subtle mix of fruits and spices that slowly dissolve, leaving a pleasant and warm sensation.
