It’s time for another BLAC® Happy Hour featuring Jennifer Peeples of Perfect10 Mixology. This week we’re featuring black-owned spirit Bumbu Rum.

Bumbu XO is truly a thing of beauty. A smooth, rich and complex handcrafted rum created from scratch by our master distiller, our XO is aged up to 18 years in bourbon barrels and selectively finished in Spanish white oak sherry casks to achieve a beautifully balanced, endlessly sippable rum.

This special release is distilled and aged in Panama, where we created a truly unique – and unquestionably superior – rum. Aromas of toffee, toasted oak, and vanilla give way to orange zest, peppery spice and even a hint of coffee on the palate.

A wonderfully engaging rum that encourages repeat visits, Bumbu XO is perfect for traditional rum cocktails – and perhaps even better on its own, neat or with a single ice cube.
