Nothing stand out about this rum, it is nice but does not stand out.
Nose is one dimensional with a touch of bite. On the tongue this is drier without the super sweetness of some rooms which would be nice as a sipper but again, very limited palate with nothing to recommend it as a sipper.
Mixing it was nice but again nothing special. For the price of this rum you would expect more. Liked it but will not carry it forward as several less expensive rums mix better and I do not see this as a sipper or blending.

I love bumbu original, this one is more proper rum. Its older, stronger and not so sweet, love it :)
For the price, prefer the original. Extremely smooth, but totally different flavour
Nice color, a little brighter than the original barbados rum, but the XO is from Panama. Easy to serve for guests, no strong taste of liqour, notes of vanilla, caramel and maybe tobacco.

Tasty with a peppery lingering finish. Hot peppery nose.
No where near as sweet. No banana flavour. Really enjoyed this one.

I tend to like the sweeter, thicker (not quite syrups) rums. This one is a keeper!

Sweet n smooth, it is a delicious edition to the rum collection
Rhum doux aux arômes sucrés. Note vanille caramel?
Notes of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg also come into play. It has little burn to no burn.
"It is a fair bit drier. There is a touch of oak and a little bit of spice. Traces of ginger and little cinnamon. It’s very very short finish wise."

Smooth yet strong, belly- and brainwarming. Leaves you eager for more. Shots are great, but sipping makes the pleasure last..I'm a rookie here, but already spoiled I guess!
