Very sweet and banana-eee. Certainly no need to add anything to mix with this sweet rum. Just straight on the rocks for dessert.

Flydende slik. Intet mindre. Meget sød, og farligt let drikkeligt. Helt igennem fantastisk.
Banana and vanilla! I would go for the 35% and not the 40% thought. Liqueur like.

This rum will not let you down as it builds standard taste with vanilla that I really don't like, but here it is for the good of the final feeling.

this stuff is very sweet and has an artificial banana flavor. almost like a liqeur instead of a rum. also the bottle gives no hint on whats inside, so most will be in for a bad suprise with this one i guess. there may be people who dont find it so bad, but these people would also enjoy a glass of cpt. morgan spiced rum (urgh)

Liked the Bumbu XO, but the original is worse than cough medicine. Syrupy sweet banana candy flavour that won't go away.

I liked the flavor. Good for sipping. Quite sweet.
Love this, to me it reminds me of being a child, it has hints of Banana and custard. Neat is the way forward with this, however I have resorted to being a mentalist and had it with Pepsi Max.🤷♂️
Very smooth with a banana forward scent and taste. While I enjoy this very much, to me this seems more of a liquor than a traditional rum.

Reasonable presentation, with the "X" marks the spot bottle, in keeping with the Pirate heritage.
Looks good in the glass, having a nice amber hue and good legs when swirled in the glass.
However the nose is not what one expects from rum. Very sweet, with an artificial flavoring aroma which hits you immediately after pouring. I can't get past associating the aroma with the artificial flavorings that my mother used in baking. Some combination of banana and other extracts.
It is more thin in the mouth than expected, given the good legs mentioned above. Also, the flavors do not develop in the mouth much beyond the original banana, etc. nosing.
It is reasonably smooth, however the follow up is more of a mild burn than any satisfying flavor.
Some might like Bumbu as a liquer or dessert type rum and therefore disagree with my overall rating, however as a traditional sipping type rum it just does not cut it.
