Rum
Bumbu : XO
Bumbu XO is truly a thing of beauty. A smooth, rich and complex handcrafted rum created from scratch by our master distiller, our XO is aged up to 18 years in bourbon barrels and finished in Spanish white oak sherry casks to achieve a beautifully balanced, endlessly sippable rum.
This special release is distilled and aged in Panama, where we created a truly unique – and unquestionably superior – rum. Aromas of toffee, toasted oak, and vanilla give way to orange zest, peppery spice and even a hint of coffee on the palate.
A wonderfully engaging rum that encourages repeat visits, Bumbu XO is perfect for traditional rum cocktails – and perhaps even better on its own, neat or with a single ice cube.

Dictador Aged 12 Years
Rum is made from the fermentation of virgin sugar cane honey distilled partly in copper alembic and partly in a steel continuous column, to achieve our signature medium-bodied rum. Aged in oak barrels and then bottled under caring, expert eyes, so we can ensure the final liquid is of the highest quality – and all our flavours remain intact.
Light copper colour with amber highlights, an intense aroma of soft caramel, honey, dry seeds and lightly roasted coffee giving way to medium oak aromas. Soft and round feel in the mouth with caramel, cocoa, and honey light coffee flavours and a finish of light oak with complexity of lingering flavours. It’s a medium-bodied, complex blend of premium aged rums with full, rich flavours.
Bumbu : The Original
Our flagship Bumbu Rum is based on the original recipe created by 16th and 17th century sailors of the West Indies, who blended native Caribbean ingredients into their rum and called it “Bumbu” – truly the original craft spirit. Bumbu is distilled and bottled at a 123-year old distillery in Barbados from first class sugarcane selected from eight countries across the West Indies.
The finished blend is aged up to 15 years in once-used, grade-A bourbon barrels. These barrels have a medium dark colour, which gives Bumbu its rich colour and enhances the vanilla notes in its taste profile.

Samaroli 1997 Caroni Cask #77 (2023 Edition)
The 1997 Caroni by Samaroliis much more than just a rum. It is a fragment of Trinidad and Tobago's history, from the famous Caroni distillery, now defunct. Distilled in a column still from molasses and resting for 13 years in Trinidad in an American oak cask that once contained bourbon, this rum reveals a fascinating complexity. With only limited bottles available, it is a collector's item that is as valuable as it is exquisite. Its aromatic richness is both a testament to its heritage and an invitation to taste. Don't miss this chance to savor a liquid legend.
Our orchestra which is always open to new talent has identified a new great soloist. It reaches us from 1997 and it is a Caroni rum -one of the last. You all know the story of course. Or actually, youwill have heard of it: the madness of a government dismantling its own distillery, the lost barrels found full of a rum like very few others in the world, able to speak to a niche of chosen few.
We say: we prefer legends when they become concrete reality. And therefore, in our Caroni we detect a powerful and slightly disquieting opening of hydrocarbons, but immediately after a more delicate dose of rubber and black fruit. Then coffee, forest wood and a good length of black pepper. A lively mouth, one much more alive than what the nose had given prelude to. There is milk chocolate, coconut, dates, menthol.
