Bambu Rum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bambu Rum was founded by David Kanbar, whose wife complained about her rum cocktails being too harsh and causing her headaches. Having been an executive at Skyy Vodka and prodigy of his Uncle's, Maurice Kanbar (founder of Skyy Vodka), Kanbar knew it was impurities that were causing both problems, and knew that quadruple distillation and triple filtration would solve them.
Bambu is handcrafted in the British West Indies and is the only rum that is quadruple distilled and tripled filtered (the same process used for super-premium vodka). However, in order to ensure the essence of the hand-selected sugarcane is not stripped away, it is distilled in tiny batches and slow filtered, which is a very time consuming and expensive process.
David Kanbar is also a co-founder of Bulldog Gin
Bambu is 40% ABV or 80 proof.
Bambu Rum is imported into the United States by New York City-based *Bambu Imports LLC, which is run by David Kanbar.
Bambu is packaged in a cosmetic quality glass bottle with silk screened horizontal lines, a pink label and wood cork with a silver medallion.
