Bumbu Rum XO (70cl, 40%)

Bumbu XO is an aged rum from Panama, made from a blend of rums distilled and matured there, aged between ten and eighteen years. It is matured in American bourbon barrels and finished in white oak sherry casks from Andalusia. The profile combines sweet, roasted and spicy impressions, with toffee, vanilla, roasted oak, orange peel and peppery spice, plus a hint of coffee. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle without gift packaging. On the nose, toffee and vanilla meet roasted oak, roasted nuts, coffee and a mild citrus note, with a strong sherry impression. The palate shows orange peel, peppery spice, coffee, sherry, roasted nuts, black tea and macerated red berries; the finish is soft and clearly sweet, with tea, fruit, light spice and a hint of smoke.
