Some members describe this as more of a liqueur than a spirit rum. I get that. I have served this to guests who are not rum aficionados and the result is usually the same - oh wow! The banana, caramel, and vanilla hit them in the face and the impression is typically favorable. So drink it for what it is - a rum, a liquor, or whatever. I would not mix this. This will be a rum that a newbie will appreciate as well as a more experience rum drinker in the right circumstances. Cheers! JW [My sweetness scale: Very Sweet]

Rhum artisanal produit sur l'île que l'on surnomme "Le Berceau du Rhum" : la Barbade. Elaboré au sein de la distillerie "The West Indies Rum Company", sa composition reprend avec soin la recette originelle et historique des premiers rhums épicés, chers à la Caraïbe.

Ce rhum d'assemblage tire ses origines de 8 pays au cœur desquels les cannes à sucre ont été méticuleusement choisies : Barbade, Brésil, Costa Rica, République Dominicaine, Salvador, Guyane et Honduras.

Cette bouteille de rhum Bumbu présente la particularité de ne pas revêtir d'étiquette papier mais une croix en étain qui se positionne au centre du flacon.

Surely worth tasting, interesting experience. Havent drank rum similar to this one. Bananas and vanilla in nose. In mouth very very smooth, little sugar and bananas again. In aftertaste comes up strange pungency which is different to what i experienced so far and I cant quite describe it, it felt almost chemical to me. Very nice bottle, one of the coolest I ve seen. Interesting dynamism in taste, but I really didnt like the aftertaste, very unpleasant to me. Before the aftertaste came up I had 8/10 in my mind.

Rhum un peu trop spicy et trop porté sur le sucre.
Jolie note de caramel et banane.

This is actually what got me in to rum. Its not actual rum though it is delicious to sip with one cube of ice.
They call it a craft rum which means nothing and is misleading. It has a ton of sugar and artificial flavours added. The bottle is really cool though.

This was a new addition at our provincial liquor store so I figured, time to try something new.
Yes, the nose is (as others have noted) banana, with toffee, caramel and some vanilla notes. First sip, I was taken back to my youth, and the marshmallow banana candies I used to eat.
Sweet for sure, but the finish was quick and lacking in body to back it up. I'll try it again, but found it to be a little lacking on the qualities that make a true, high quality liquor.
If the site MOD can use the pic attached for the bottle, that'd be great.

Very smooth but for my taste, too sweet and too much of a banana note.

Too sweet for me, vanilla or candied fuits with honey ?! Not like a rum in traditional expected taste, more like elixir... For the same price better rum can be found I believe.

Rhum épice de qualite pour un epice.par contre en degustation le rhum est trop sur un le gout banane caramel.le nez est sur des notes balsamiques et de bananes sur muries.mais la sucrosite et un gout qui s estompe n en font qu un rhum festif pour des non connaisseurs .le gout ne vaut pas ses 36 euros.par contre la bouteille est magnifique et fait voyager a l epoque des pirates.....fan du flacon mais moins de son contenu qui se rapproche d un arcane extramora mais en vraiment moins bon.
