How to Celebrate Rum Day on July 12th

25 June 2025

Every year on the second saturday of july, we raise our glasses to celebrate Rum Day—a global tribute to one of the most iconic and versatile spirits in the world. And this year, we’re putting the spotlight on a true standout in the rum world: Bumbu.

Bumbu: The Rum of Legends

Crafted in Barbados, the birthplace of rum, Bumbu is a masterful blend of tradition, innovation, and bold character. Inspired by 17th-century recipes used by West Indian sailors, Bumbu is made with the finest sugarcane from across the Caribbean and South America, distilled with pure spring water, and aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels.

Its flavor profile is unmistakable—smooth, rich, and complex, with notes of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and toasted oak. Every sip tells a story, and every bottle makes a statement.

 

A Brand That Stands Out

Bumbu isn’t just known for its taste—it’s instantly recognizable by its striking matte black bottle, adorned with a gold metal “X” and oversized cork. It’s a bottle that commands attention, whether on the back bar or in the hands of a mixologist.

More than a rum, Bumbu is a lifestyle brand—bold, stylish, and unapologetically different. It resonates with a new generation of consumers who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and storytelling.
