REASONS TOTASTE
B
umbu is an authentic expression of a Caribbean legend. Crafted by hand in Barbados and distilled from premium sugarcane from eight different countries throughout the Caribbean and South America, this smooth, dark spirit is distilled and aged for up to 15 years to create an effortlessly balanced delight that boasts layers of complexity and depth. THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO TASTE BUMBU, BUT WE’VE WHITTLED IT DOWN TO SIX… 1. It embodies the all-natural beverage trend: Natural is Bumbu’s by-word. Not only does it use natural flavours and spices, Bumbu is also naturally filtered by Barbados’s coral limestone.
TRY OUR BUMBU TWIST ON AN OLD FASHIONED INGREDIENTS 60ml Bumbu, 2 tsp Demerara Sugar, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, small orange peel XX
Unlike most islands in the West Indies (formed by volcanoes), Barbados is a limestone island created by coral reefs. Ground water is forced through the limestone and naturally purified, where-as Distilleries elsewhere filter their water. You heard it here first! 2. It’s gluten-free: While we’re talking of trends, Bumbu doesn’t include any grain, making it glutenfree. Tell your friends! 3. Bumbu is the king of cocktails: Drinking habits may shift, but there are some cocktails that always deliver a familiar embrace and Bumbu can uplift any of your favourite tipples. Whether it’s a Manhattan, an Old Fashioned or a simple fresh Daiquiri, Bumbu’s notes of cinnamon, roasted nuts and allspice take the familiar onto a whole new level of taste exploration. 4. Drink it like whisky—neat or with a cube of ice: To savour Bumbu’s complex taste, sip neat or with a cube of ice to mellow out the flavour. 5. It can satisfy your sweet tooth: There are many sweet delights that creatively showcase Bumbu’s caramel and toffee notes. A Bumbu Tiramisu? Yes please! Or if you fancy, pour a shot of coffee and Bumbu over ice-cream and you have a simple Affogato dessert. It tastes amazing! 6. Bumbu is award-winning: Bumbu is a truly outstanding craft spirit, but don’t just take our word for it. It has been awarded 5 gold medals including back-to-back BEST IN CATEGORY honours – from the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition!
METHOD Add sugar and bitters into a mixing glass with a single ice cube. Stir the mix until the ice cube has melted enough to dissolve the sugar. Add Bumbu, and bitters into glass and stir vigorously. Strain into a double rocks glass over one large ice cube. Hold the orange peel over the glass and bend it to release some of the oil into the drink and rub along the rim. Drop the orange peel into the glass, stir and enjoy.
