Just buckup on a bottle of BUMBU rum I brought back from Barbados a while back, but before I open it, can someone tell me if its good rum, -- if its not I’ll save it for guests or give it as a present

Never heard of it, but the name suggests it may be useful for household cleaning chores.

My wife's brother-in-law had a bottle the other day, I meant to ask the forum about this but forgot. The bottle is very cool but alas I did not get to sample it

It is v smooth a la Brandy but mislabelled. I don’t think it is made in Bim.

V interesting bottle

To be uncorked for special guests although not terribly expensive as far as rum goes

Bumbu is a drink made from rum, water, sugar, and nutmeg. Cinnamon is sometimes substituted for or added to the nutmeg. Modern bumbo is often made with dark rum, citrus juice, grenadine, and nutmeg.

In reply to sudden It’s a very interesting bottle indeed – says product of Barbados --- the price tag is $35.95 US ---

Here's a review by two afficianados

is this how your bottle look?

In reply to DirtyDan Mnnn ---the nutmeg says maybe I bought it in Grenada then. Sounds like an interesting concoction – I’ll think about opening it --- I am not much into rum these days

In reply to DirtyDan That’s the bottle alright - Interesting reviews by the 2 guys.

Apparently produced at the West Indies rum distillery in Bim. I have enjoyed it on the the rocks or neat when I want to impress a potential client.

My medicine chest is full of fine liquor but I hardly drink although I enjoy a fine port

Saw it for the first time a year ago.
I will tease my nephew, he never detail the taste and flavours like the two brothers on the link.
I was a hard drinker, I limit myself these days to wine or Stella, when at home.
