Bumbu Rum Bottle Engraver - Houston

It is always nice when you are introduced to something new. Prior to this year, I was completely unaware of Bumbu Rum. I was immediately attracted to the bottle based on aesthetics alone. It is a very cool bottle upon sight. This bottle was presented at an engraving event awhile ago by a gentleman that desired to have a bottle engraved to commemorate his wedding anniversary. Engraving this bottle was very simple as the glass was cooperative and relatively smooth. Interestingly, this may have been the first bottle of rum that I have had the pleasure of engraving….possibly…

A little bit about Bumbu Rum:

Unlike most Caribbean islands (formed by volcanos), Barbados was created by coral reefs. Here, our ground water is purified as it’s forced through our natural limestone, making Barbadian water some of the finest in the world. Distillers elsewhere must filter their water before using it in their process – not so here.

This exceptionally pure water, coupled with carefully selected sugarcane from across the Caribbean and South America, lends the lightness and smoothness that’s central to Bumbu’s remarkable drinkability.

The ultra-heavyweight glass bottle is a work of art on its own, adorned with a tarnished metal "X" in front and map of the Caribbean across the back. Our favorite part is the old-fashioned, oversized cork – you’ll hear a celebratory POP each time you crack open the bottle. 

We like to sip our Bumbu straight, but try it over ice or in your favorite cocktail.

Cheers

Don Julio Tequila Bottle Engraving in Houston

Don Julio 1942 Tequila has been quite popular and lately quite difficult to acquire in the Houston area. I have never had the opportunity to enjoy this Don Julio tequila however I have engraved this bottle many times and it etches very easily. I have to assume that the contents are beautiful as it has crossed my engraving table frequently and makes the perfect gift.

Interestingly, I have increasingly become more interested in the history of some of the wine and spirit bottles that I am asked to engrave. In my research, I learned that Don Julio Tequila is named after its founder, Don Julio González-Frausto Estrada, who began distilling tequila in 1942 at age 17.[5] Acknowledging the benefits of vertical integration, Gonzalez-Frausto established his own tequila distillery, La Primavera, and spent the next 40 years improving his craft. He experimented with controlling various aspects of the tequila-making process, "from the cultivation of the agave to the bottling of the final product." He named his distillery La Primavera (the Springtime) where he produced his first brand of tequila Tres Magueyes. He is said to have "spent nearly forty years perfecting the craft."[6] Don Julio's first tequilas were shared with friends only, but as word on the quality of his tequila spread, he officially founded a company to put him in business.[6] In 1983, Marco Cedano returned to Don Julio to work as an engineer, where he served as Master Distiller and Distillery Manager of Tequila.[7] In 1985 Don Julio González-Frausto celebrated his 60th Birthday, his sons commemorated the date by creating a Tequila in his name, Don Julio. Following the sheer popularity of the tequila in Guadalajara and neighboring cities they decided to launch the tequila. (Wikipedia)
