I have been looking at this at the local liquor store. This last visit they gave us a staste. Wow. The smell of banana hits you before the rum hits your lips. The smell is strong but it is not overpowering and tha flavour is milder than the aroma. The banana caramel and vanilla notes work well together. My liquor store can’t keep enough of it they are always running out. It has its place, its nice to sip but I am looking forward to having it in a cocktail. Enjoy....I did.😋

An exceptional rum with hints of banana and cane sugar, quite flavorful and rewarding.

Bumbu es un ron fresco, que te obliga a beber una vez tras otra. Lo único negativo es que el aroma a plátano es muy intenso y por esta razón bumbu es un ron que te gusta o lo desprecias.

Smooth, lightly sweet, perfect balance of flavors. Hint of banana, Caramel, and Cinnamon. First taste was neat and it goes down smooth.

Very sweet fruity flavour. Vanila aroma, and taste of banana and cinnamon. Not for those who doesnt like sweeter rums.

One of the rums that I gift to friends or bring to different occasions like birthdays and social gatherings. Personally, I find it as a high quality casual rum, good for day to day responsible consumption. The colour is pleasant, the sweetness maybe a 7/10, the spices surprise with their balance and the finish is soft, at least for me. Everyone I know that has first tasted it liked it from the start, just one connoisseur that was not impressed 😂

This is amazing tasty stuff. Medium body, beautiful flavour, great colour. Not sure why this is rated so low, especially at $52 for 3/4L.

Delicious dessert rum. Best enjoyed, not as a sipping rum, but rather with desert as a sweet treat. Flavours of vanilla and banana shine, but is more like a liqueur than a traditional rum

Bumbu is a very pleasant "rum" to drink. Very tasty and fragrant, it is also very sweet and syrupy.
We can smell a lot of bananas. For me it's more of a rum liqueur like French Orange Shrubb.
Even though there are a lot of additives and sugar, it is still pleasant to drink. But I don't consider it a "real" rum. It remains affordable and in the same price bracket as the French Shrubb.

Great rum to keep on hand for people that like a sweeter rum that can be drank neat. I actually keep it in the freezer so it’s cold, but not diluted with ice. A little sweet, but a great butterscotch/banana taste. Perfect for an after dinner/ end of night drink.

Nieuwe rum gekocht en deze hadden de vrienden die bij ons kwamen voor spelletjes en rum toevallig al aangekondigd. Lekker, lijkt een beetje op het likeurtje Koekie, zacht en zoet.
