More of a liqueur than a rum. If you like sweet than this could be enjoyable. High vanilla. Depends on what you’re looking for, and if you like sweet, molasses liqueurs than you may very well enjoy this.
Now, I like bananas and I like rum, but together...well, maybe not. A bit much here is you ask me.
This is very aromatic with a strong wave of banana sweetness. The taste is also very smooth with no burn and lots of sweet banana and vanilla flavor. Very easy to sip neat, and I would argue not cloying or over sweet as long it's considered as a flavored or liqueur (dessert) rum. The bottle states it as a rum with natural flavors, so it's not exactly trying to pass off as anything else.
It smells like crumble and taste like apricot pie. And it is super sweet. I enjoyed that.. I believe that there are occasions for this kind of rum. Ladies will love it!
This one has great taste but in the end it’s too sweet for my preferences.
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]
First let me state that I love a bit of sweetness to my rum, but not to the point where it feels artificial.
That being said, if you like a "Sweet > Savory" rum and like strong banana in your rums, then this is the rum for you. I would give it a 10/10 if I had more premium rums to compare it to, but for $35 - $45 at my local liquor stores, this is a rum that you have to try!
OK...I'm not an experienced rum drinker but I know what I like. I am a mid-grade taster who appreciates products such as Zapacapa 23 and similar but no real sophistication (but I'm learning). I agree with most of the folks who grade Bumbu a 2 or 3 and consider it a "liqueur". Tell me if this is a sin but I took Bumbu and blended it out with Diplomatico about 1:4 and it tasted fantastic.
Probably a rum faux paux but I don't care...I'm not doing Bumbu straight up as I'd likely enter a diabetic coma!
For it's cost, it's awesome! Drink it on the rocks and think tropical thoughts. Sweet, light and delecious.
The nose smells very sweet. Llashings of caramel and toffee.
"It barely even tastes like alcohol in any way shape or form. No mid palate and definitely no finish not even the slightest hint of alcohol burn. Maybe a little bit of woodiness as it goes down."

Bumbu, not bad, more sweet and vanilla than I normally like. It is definitely a smooth drinker
