I bought this on the recommendations of several people I know in real life. The bottle has great presentation and looks appealing.

I was excited to try a new rum and I was seriously disappointed with this one. In fact, I wouldn’t call it rum at all. It has a very chemical taste. It’s sweet but with no definable flavors and the aftertaste is horrible. So bad in fact, I needed to wash the taste out with some good rum.

If this was the only rum available I’d pick any other alcoholic beverage first. Moral of the story? Find people here who’s ratings you trust and research before buying. I’ll give this back to the store if the guy wants it. I wouldn’t even give this to guests unless I didn’t like them :)

I doubt that i would recognize this as a rum in a blindtest. One of the sweetest rums i have tasted. I'm into sweet rums but this was even a little to much for me.

Most people mentioned that the rum is very sweet, and it is, however still a very enjoyable sipping rum. You can definitely smell and taste banana and vanilla, it also has hints of coconuts and brown sugar However, if you don't like sweet rums, this won't be for you. There are no hints of oak or smoke so if you are an "old rum" or "aged rum" aficionado, I'd recommend to stay away but this is a perfect starter premium sipping rum. I would say an amazing desert 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

I thoroughly enjoy drinking this rum and is one of my go to, if it is ever in stock.

Pleasantly sweet and smooth with vanilla and banana flavours. Delicious on the rocks or with a ginger beer.

Although probably not one for those that prefer a more bitter or sour flavour.

Das Rezept für den BUMBU The Original stammt aus dem 16. und 17. Jahrhundert Seefahrer und Kaufleute mischten zu ihrem Rum karibische Früchte und Gewürze und nannten es Bumbu.

Sikkert en god rom, men det er fuldt for meget vanilje, banan og sukker i den.
Er sikkert god til nybegyndere, der er en lang eftersmag af vanille og banan.

My favourite rum so far. Sweet, thick, and smooth taste.
