I think this rum is awesome, the taste of bananas and other fruit is amazing. And I think it's all natural too, doesn't have that processed sugar taste. A pretty good rum

I've usually drink Zaya for a sipper, but I LOVE Bambu. It's nicely sweet without the slight burn of Zaya. Tastes of vanilla and banana.

A great sipper, nice fruity flavor. Clean or on the rocks, you can’t go wrong, I would advise trying both to really bring out all the flavors.

I won this as part of a competition and thanks to that I have found one of my new favourite rums. Brilliant after a long day with ice, wee splash of ginger beer and rum

Bumbu is the best selling "premium" rum in the liquor store I work at, and for good reason. It's sweet but not artificial, and the aromas of banana are welcoming, reminiscent of time spent on a beach somewhere. This is an extremely approachable rum for those looking to expand their palate, so long as you're looking for a lighter in flavour, and more tropica feeling rum.

For some this will be too super sweet and a step away from rum itself for the purist. I however really enjoyed it - great to have with a desert. Very drinkable

My taste. Sweet, mild, coffee flavor, only 35%. Dark color.

It´s the very good sipping rum for someone who like to taste a rum on the strong side of sweetness scale.
You can´t go wrong with this if you want to please a mainstream rum consumer. Sweet, vanilla, banana, smooth and a lil´bit of spicyness. As a mixer it has a nice taste, but more strenght would be useful in this case.
