Bumbu Rum

About Bumbu Rum

Bumbu was created to celebrate Caribbean rum traditions while embracing modern techniques. This rum was clearly inspired by the sugarcane and spice trade of the region - you can easily tell by the taste. Circling back, the brand blends aged rums with natural vanilla, caramel, and baking-spice notes to create a profile that’s both familiar and distinct. It's a bottle aimed to make rum approachable for people who might find straight rums too dry, so they crafted a sweeter, more aromatic spirit that still pays tribute to the base rums. 

Notable Bottles From Bumbu Rum

Bumbu The Original Rum

The OG! Bumbu The Original Rum is the brand’s flagship and the expression most people reach for first - we recommend you do as well. It blends Caribbean rums with natural vanilla and spice to create a syrupy, dessert-friendly profile that’s heavy on toffee and baking spice. On the nose you’ll notice vanilla and brown sugar. On the palate, it’s smooth with caramel, nutmeg, and a touch of oak from the aged rums. 

Bumbu XO Rum

Don't be afraid of the Bumbu XO Rum. True, it's richer, deeper, more concentrated, but it's part of the charm. You get more of that dried fruit, toasted oak, and dark caramel notes and the texture is fuller. The long finish means it's a rum that invites slower sipping, but also works well in cocktails if you wish.

Bumbu Rum Cream

Also known as Bumbu Crème, this is a creamy, dessert-style liqueur that blends Bumbu’s vanilla and caramel-forward rum character with smooth dairy cream and warm spice notes, making it rich but easy to drink. In coffees and in dessert cocktails? Yum!

Awards and Recognition

Bumbu Rum is loud and proud of its bottles. The Bumbu XO and Crème bottles have won Double Gold Medals at the 2022 New York World Wine and Spirits Competition!
