Most rums are produced using the solera system of blending. However, the true age of a rum isn’t known when employing this production method, which we feel is misleading to consumers.

In addition to our rum blends having no added ingredients or sugars, Bombarda opts out of the chill filtration step during production. This process removes some of the rum's qualities, which is why Captain James and our blending team do not recommend chill filtering for premium rum production. Removing the chill filtration process creates what we believe to be a greater tasting, healthier, and cleaner rum.

Bombarda’s three award-winning rum blends were crafted by our team in collaboration with one of the world's most renowned rum blenders, located in Amsterdam, Netherlands with roots dating back over 300 years.

Our three main expressions are labeled as our Lost Barrel Blends, and named after types of cannons that have existed over the ages. Captain James and the blending crew designed these three expressions using a variety of premium rum origins and ages. Each of the Lost Barrel Blends are tropically aged and double matured in select premium white oak and ex-bourbon casks. According to its age and blend expression, Bombarda is sold for $32.99 to $49.99 per 750 ml bottle, which we believe is an excellent price point for a luxury sipping rum.

The Drake Lost Barrel blend - a 3-5 Year blend of five dark rums, The Culverin Lost Barrel blend - a 5-8 Year blend of three dark rums, and the fierce Falconet Lost Barrel blend - an 8-15 Year blend of four dark rums. Each of Bombarda’s Lost Barrel blends have a distinct and versatile profile so that the consumer can enjoy them both as a sipper or in a cocktail.

To expand the reach of the brand, Bombarda has two new line extensions planned for release in 2023. It's critical that we expand the awareness of the brand with a slightly lower price point of under $29, and lower proof ABV (alcohol by volume), while maintaining our presence as a premium brand. Bombarda Rum’s swashbuckling & adventurous "Pyrate Republic" line features - "Revenge" a Dark Spiced and Aged Jamaican 3 yr Rum, and “Plunder,” a conspicuous blend of three silver rums from three distilleries of Trinidad, Barbados, and Jamaica, each laid to rest in a real black glass cannon bottle.  

Additionally, Bombarda believes that the fun and pirate-themed line extension offers an attractive entry point for younger rum lovers. We believe that the younger market will be attracted to a more premium rum with this line, and we hope that they continue to collect and buy our other releases once they have been exposed Pyrate Republic.

We believe that each of our creative Pyrate Republic blends would be a great addition to any waterfront bar’s menu, and a recipe menu that we have planned.  The many pirate and age-of-sail stories, coupled with differentiating label possibilities, are endless.

Bombarda Rum is constantly developing and exploring innovative on-premise promotions with a series of fun and engaging cocktail recipe promotions, treasure hunts, short rum cruises, and other brand promotional concepts.  

One such promotion is Bombarda’s “Rolling Thunder'' happy hour. The prototype happy hour is currently in place at Conch Republic Restaurant in Key West, Florida, and features Our Rolling Thunder rum punch & Bombarda’s Caribbean Mojito. We encourage guests of the restaurant to board the Jolly Rover II Schoner located on the nearby dock to enjoy discounted Bombarda rum cocktails and a sunset cruise. 

From what we have seen thus far, Bombarda Rum is proving to resonate with consumers and high-end craft cocktail bars. At only $32-$49 a bottle, we feel Bombarda Rum is more affordable than most high-quality rum brands. The rums that we purchase are top-shelf and we believe are well worth the price point.

We work on a 30% - 35% profit margin within the three-tier alcohol model throughout the USA. To maintain a high-quality standard during the bottling process, the company exclusively bottles our rums with one of the Netherlands’ oldest and most reputable bottling firms, Herman Jansen.

Blended, premium rums are becoming more popular among bars, restaurants, and craft enthusiasts. Global volumes of premium, higher-priced rums have increased by 35% between 2015-2020 (source). These figures are forecasted to grow by 38% between 2020 and 2025, with an expected $21.5 Billion market by end of 2029 (source, source).

As a leading rum company, we strive to make a positive impact in the premium rum market with upscale attractive packaging, as well as a variety of quality rum blends that we believe appeal to a wide audience. The company further believes that as consumers expand their spirit interest, gluten-free and clean Bombarda Rums will continue to grow in popularity and become a leading national rum brand of choice!

We believe Bombarda Rum is positioned to embrace the ever-expanding demand in the premium rum category. In our opinion, Bombarda’s early traction suggests that we are on track to capture our share of both local and international growth in the premium rum market. We feel that the premium rum market is the next spirit category to grow, akin to the recent popularity uptick in tequilas.

Total Wine & More launched our product nationally in 168 stores across the US in 2021 (source). Additionally, we were named as a Total Wine & More Spirit Direct Partner within less than a year of the brand being on the market (source).

They will be released under Total Wine's Private Cask category program, which launches in the first quarter of 2023.

Bombarda Rum is growing in the premium rum spirits category in North America, including Canada. We are currently in 413 locations, including 168 Total Wine & More stores across 28 states, and many independent retailers and bars in Florida.

Canada, our first international expansion target, is responding wonderfully to our product, and our distributor has increased our retail footprint there to over 34 locations in just the past 30 days.  

Through our engaging social media campaigns, as well as Bombarda Rum’s immersive and interactive website (http://www.bombardarum.com), we are able to reach more consumers across all 50 states via social media engagement, e-commerce, and home delivery.

Award-winning Bombarda has won 16 medals not only for the delicious taste but also for our cannon glass bottles and garrison wooden carriage packaging. Consumers love Bombarda, and we have hundreds of positive-tasting reviews! 

To achieve this ultimate goal, we intend to work on achieving the following objectives:

(1) Create widespread brand awareness for Bombarda Rum in the US and key international markets through initiatives including cocktail influencer co-marketing, advertising campaigns, retail activations, expanded tasting events, social media marketing, and consumer engagements.

(2) Increase annual sales to at least 40,000 6-pack cases by expanding our in-house sales team, supporting our distributor’s efforts in new account activations, and providing post-placement marketing support to existing trade buyers. 

(3) Develop Bombarda into a national brand sold in all major markets across the US and further improve the brand’s availability to consumers by increasing the marketing of our national e-commerce website and expanding the platform into key European markets, allowing quick and convenient purchasing and delivery. 

(4) Develop and maintain the brand reputation as craft rum of excellent quality and protect its IP assets from potential dilution or infringement.

Summary

The Company believes that super-premium and premium craft rums have enormous growth potential, backed by the high demand and key consumption trends, as well as industry research that we believe indicates that authentic high-end spirit brands are at the forefront of being targeted for acquisition.

Designed with the motto “Victori Spolia”, Bombarda Rum offers consumers delicious, clean, quality crafted rums presented in an upscale package. The high quality of both the rum and its packaging has been reaffirmed by multiple accolades from a variety of organizations. Additionally, we believe that Bombarda’s accessible retail pricing is a crucial factor in its growth potential, as well as potential expansion of its distribution across major consumption markets. With these important components in place (quality of product, price), we believe that our brand is well-positioned for positive future growth, and that this Regulation Crowdfunding raise can help us realize our marketing plans and sales objectives. 

Our sights are set on disrupting the rum spirit category through our commitment to authenticity, purity, value, and quality, as well as some great rum story fun. Join us for a modern-day journey into the world of rum, and invest today!
