Bumbu XO Rum is a premium, extra-aged expression from Bumbu, crafted in Panama with a focus on richness and refinement. Distilled from molasses and aged up to 18 years in American oak bourbon barrels before being finished in Spanish sherry casks, this rum showcases a balance of tropical sweetness and sophisticated oak influence.
In the glass, Bumbu XO displays a deep mahogany color. The nose opens with bold aromas of toffee, roasted oak, vanilla, and orange zest, layered with subtle spice and dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, offering flavors of caramel, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and baking spice, all tied together by the sherry cask’s influence of raisin and fig. The finish is long and warming, leaving behind notes of oak, spice, and lingering sweetness.
Bumbu XO is designed for sipping neat or with a single cube of ice, where its complexity can be fully appreciated. It also lends richness to cocktails like a Rum Old Fashioned or Espresso Rum Martini. With its extended aging, sherry finish, and luxurious presentation, Bumbu XO stands as a centerpiece rum for enthusiasts who appreciate both indulgence and craftsmanship.
