Bumbu Original

I stumbled on this rum when it was recommended at a local liquor store. A great sipping rum with lots of flavors and very smooth. The rum is sweet and may not appeal to everyone but has very distinct flavors.

Not a rum for me. The taste of banana is very strong and has a bad after taste.

Nice smooth rum perfectly drinkable without mixer would definitely recommend

A nice sweet rum, the tastes of banana, vanilla & sweet caramel could be a bit much for some but it's a smooth rum you should try at least once.

A present for me but inthibk the rum is to sweet. I Can drink it but maybe this is better besides à coffee after dinner or something.

Un bon rhum même si je suis novice et que je n’ai pas encore l’expérience nécessaire à sa totale découverte.
Une odeur de banane est perceptible ainsi qu’un mélange de vanille et de caramel.
Au goût, le caramel et la vanille sont plus facilement perceptible tandis qu’un arrière-goût de banane est légèrement perceptible.

I received this one as a gift. I tried it neat to see how it goes but soon switched to adding coke to it. I enjoyed it as I like the sweetness and would definitely have it again.

The distributor said that sugarcane from 8 countries were used to produce this rum - Barbados, Belize, El Salvator, Brazil, Guayana, Costa Rica, Honduras and Dominican Republic. I love travelling indeed, however considering the taste, it's pretty sweet, (too) spicy and aromatic - some people say vanilla, the others banana or caramel. We emptied the whole bottle at once, which was not a good idea for this rather occasional sipping drink. I believe that girls, if present, would appreciate it much more :).

Very Smooth. Don’t insult this Rum by mixing it with pop.

Tastes like a strong banana liquor. Not traditional but I like it when I'm in the mood for dessert.

This rum is great on its own. This rum has a good flavour with banana undertones that lingers without being overpowering.

Pour moi c'est mon préféré
Très liquoreux en bouche un goût de banane vanille un long goût en bouche un nez fruité un véritable délice

Very sweet, too much vanilla and banana for my taste. Good for an after dinner drink. I had a friend of mine taste some and didn't tell him what it was and he thought it was a fruit liquor. Smooth and I like it just not as a real Rum.

Not a good one but erverybody his osn taste
Too fruity

This is a sugary liqueur, not a rum. That said, it is not unpleasant with banana and caramel being the dominant flavours. It is smooth, if teeth-curlingly sweet, and has a syrupy feel in the mouth.
Not a sipper for me, needs ice as a very minimum to tone it down. Would make an interesting ingredient in banana themed cocktails though.

Udemærket rom men meget meget sød. For sød til min smag, der må godt være lidt mere smæk på drengen. Meget vaniljesmag

Peu de sensation d'alcool, avec des arômes de vanille et caramel très prononcés. Très facile d'accès pour les néophytes. Nez aussi aromatique que le rhum.

This rum is like one giant banana rum liquor. It isn’t bad to sip but in general all notes are hidden by a huge banana forward flavor.

Fľaša, ktorá zaujme hneď na prvý pohľad stála nejakých 40€, čo za takýto typ rumu nie je najmenej. Dobrý marketingový nápad, pripomína to nejakých pirátov a pod. Farba pekná, zlato - hnedá až jantárová, po naliatí cítiť veľké množstvo korenín. Toto je naozaj korenistý rum, jemne nasladlý, citíť exotické ovocie s citrusovým pozadím. Na môj vkus je to priveľmi korenisté (to som ozaj nečakal=) čo ale zistíte, až keď ochutnáte. Údajne najstaršie rumy v zmesi majú 15 rokov, to by mohlo vysvetlovať cenu tohto rumu. Inak to nie je zlý rum, z korenistých je určite svojim spôsobom jedinečný, ale podľa mňa nie ako ukážková vzorka stáreného rumu. Po degustácii sme ho s priateľmi vyliali do mixéru s baileys a banánmi, toto bola paráda, tam Bumbu exceloval. Skôr by som ho odporučil do koktailov ako na samotné popíjanie.

and not as in good. It is a good mixer but not the premium drink it makes itself out to be.

Sweet spices, enjoyable taste, what I would want a spiced rum to be really

Very fruity taste with a lot of bananas after. Too sweet for may taste, but ladies will definitely love it.

Gekozen op basis van de fles (ik geef het toe), maar de ratings waren overwegend positief dus waarom ook niet...

De eerste aroma's van rijpe banaan deden de neusvleugeltjes al trillen van plezier! Een voorzichtig sipje en bijhorende 'swirl' maakte de zoete smaken van banaan, vanille en mango helemaal los. Heel erg lekker en zalig in de nadronk!

Smaakt naar meer!

Sampled this rum and my first impression was the sweet smells of banana and vanilla which felt very un-rum like to me. Tasting this rum confirmed this was an overly sweet rum, probably from extracts rather than from a natural distillation process. While this may appeal to those who prefer sweet rums, I did not like it at all.
