Bumbu is a newer producer of Caribbean Rums — and they are one to keep an eye on. They have already received a string of awards due to their uncompromising focus on quality Spirits. They source their primary Spirits from The West Indies Rum Distillery on Barbados that was founded in 1893 and is are one of the top three producers on the island.
Simply stated, Bumbu Crème is a tasty decadent treat. Seriously… we could empty a bottle of this stuff sitting on a porch swing in an evening. It’s made from Bumbu’s signature Rum, exotic spices, and real dairy cream. The way to think of it is like an Irish Cream Liqueur for the island set. But since it is spiced it has a deeper complexity. There are a TON of ways to serve it, but because we care about you we tested it several ways — purely in the interests of science — and like it chilled or on the rocks.
Smartass Corner: Barbados was a British colony, and throughout the Caribbean and North American colonies there was a drink called "Bumbo" or "Bumbu" made from Rum and spices. It was likely the world’s first "Spiced Rum" and was even served by George Washington at political events.
