Flavorfully Spiced Rums

Bumbu Rum Uses All-Natural Ingredients for Authentic Caribbean Flavor

— April 4, 2018 — Lifestyle
Spiced rum tends to follow a well-worn path of flavor, but Bumbu rum is attempting something different and it is a spirit well worth exploring. The sugarcane used in this rum is sourced from all over Latin America, including crop from Barbados, Belize, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guyana and Honduras. The cane is then brought back to the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados and is column-distilled before being placed in Kentucky bourbon casks for up to 15 years of aging. While the spices used in Bumbu rum are a trade secret the distillery has shared that the spices are all-natural, native and are authentic to Caribbean history.

The first thing drinkers of Bumbu rum will notice is the immediate, unusual nature of the nose; overtones of banana, caramel sauce, vanilla, and almonds flood the nose and conjure images of a lovely banana split. The banana notes continue onto the palate, where they are joined by hints of chocolate, coconut milk and lingering vanilla, with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. These flavors are incredibly unique in the spice rum sphere and truly set Bumbu rum apart as a distinct and interesting spirit.
Trend Themes
1. All-natural Ingredients - Opportunity for distilleries to explore the use of all-natural ingredients in their spirits to create unique and authentic flavors.
2. Spice Rum Innovation - Potential for distilleries to innovate within the spiced rum category by introducing new and unique flavor profiles.
3. Aging in Bourbon Casks - Opportunity for distilleries to age their rums in bourbon casks for an extended period of time to enhance flavor and complexity.
Industry Implications
1. Distillery - Distilleries can explore the use of authentic and all-natural ingredients to create innovative and distinctive rum flavors.
2. Craft Spirits - Craft distilleries can experiment with unique spice blends and aging techniques to create small-batch spiced rum with complex flavors.
3. Bourbon Industry - Bourbon producers can collaborate with rum distilleries to offer bourbon cask aging options, creating a new market for their products.
