Refined, dark, and unapologetically bold, Bumbu XO Rum is the sophisticated evolution of Caribbean craftsmanship. Distilled and aged in Panama, this expression takes the beloved richness of Bumbu The Original and elevates it with time, oak, and finesse. Matured for up to 18 years in American white oak barrels and finished in sherry casks from Andalusia, it’s a rum that speaks in whispers of smoke, spice, and deep tropical sweetness, the mark of true mastery.

Bumbu XO Rum
Brand: Bumbu | Category: Aged Rum | ABV: 40% | Origin: Panama | Volume: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Deep and complex, notes of toffee, roasted oak, and orange zest interlaced with vanilla and dark chocolate.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety. Caramelized sugar, coffee, and baking spice unfold over layers of oak and molasses, leading into a hint of dried fruit and leather.
Finish: Long, warm, and elegant, sweet spice and charred oak linger with a subtle touch of smoke.

Production Details:
Crafted in Panama, Bumbu XO is distilled from local molasses and pure spring water, then aged for up to 18 years in ex-bourbon barrels before a final rest in Spanish sherry casks. The extended aging process imparts remarkable depth and polish, transforming raw Caribbean energy into refined power. Bottled in the brand’s signature heavy glass decanter with a matte black finish, it’s both collectible and commanding.

Perfect For:
The connoisseur who appreciates sophistication with soul. Ideal for sipping neat or on the rocks, or enjoyed with a fine cigar. This is rum made for slow nights, rich conversation, and moments that deserve something extraordinary.

Expert Notes:
Described by critics as “a symphony of oak, spice, and restraint,” Bumbu XO has earned praise for its balance of intensity and elegance. It’s often called “a rum for whisky lovers”, structured, aged, and endlessly intriguing.

Customer Reviews:
“Smooth, deep, and luxurious, my go to sipping rum.”   Miguel F.
“Velvet texture and incredible flavor. You can taste the age.”   Samantha L.
“Rich but never too sweet, easily one of the best rums out there.”   Robert K.

Interesting Fact:
Unlike Bumbu The Original, which is spiced and Barbadian, Bumbu XO is a pure aged rum, unspiced, matured longer, and crafted for sipping rather than mixing. It’s the brand’s answer to those seeking true premium depth.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve neat in a tulip glass to enjoy its complexity, or over a single large ice cube. For an elevated serve, try the Bumbu XO Old Fashioned, just a dash of bitters and orange peel to highlight its sherry kissed finish.

Distillery Background:
Produced in Panama, the heart of Central American rum-making, Bumbu XO is crafted by expert distillers using time-honored techniques and locally sourced molasses. It reflects the brand’s evolution from bold Caribbean sweetness to refined, world-class sophistication, proof that patience, age, and craftsmanship are the true hallmarks of excellence.
