When I first tried bumbu xo I was a bit disappointed, as I did not find it tasting all that sweet, but as time goes on I find myself warming up to its unique taste...
Definitely not a flavored rum like the original Bumbu, but more of a real, refined, aged rum meant for sipping or use in your special mixed drinks. Quite a bargain, I feel, for such a barrel-aged sipping rum. plenty of fruitiness, though much more subtle and related to the molasses from which it is fermented, than added flavors or spices like the original. Very nicely done! Bottle says a product of Panama, but other sites list this as of Barbadian molasses origin. Distillation was done in Panama.
I saw this new addition from Bumbu on the shelves weeks ago. I had to research it first because it's younger sister with the heavy banana flavoring only rated as a 6 by me. That one is from Barbados and is at 75 proof. This one is from Panama and is at 80 proof. This one at first appeared to be dry, but some legs showed up in the snifter later on. It has nowhere near as much added sugar as it's younger sister, Bumbu Original. There is no burn at all, from the aroma in the beginning to the after taste. At being aged up to 18 years in charred bourbon barrels, one would expect a heavy woody taste. Not so in this case, and I suspect the final aging in Andalusian sherry casks has something to do with smoothing out the oak flavors. This is a very good sipping rum, but it's just that I don't much care for sherry in my rum. The sherry flavor is not overpowering like the Papa's Pilars and Abuelos, but is more subdued like the Brugal 1888. It almost deserves a rating of 8 from me. It is also the best rum from Panama without having to drive 200 miles to get one or spend a lot more.
Update October 30, 2021: I finally got to try their new edition called Bumbu Creme. It is made from this Panamanian rum and adds spices and dairy cream. Since it is only 15% ABV, I would classify it as a liqueur. It is quite tasty and I also like it better than Bailey's Irish Cream. At $32 US, it also costs more than Bailey's. This one would be a great present for your lady friends! It is just too sweet for me.
Not near as sweet as the orginal Bumbu. More tradtional XO. Little alcohol heavy start but fairly smooth finish. Worth a try
Easy drinking with a bit if burn in the back of the throat. Mostly I get a coffee flavour with a bit off wood.
Drahší a podľa údajov výrobcu aj odležanejší variant Bumbu XO je znova balený v štýlovej, tentokrát matnej čiernej fľaši, uzavretej masívnym korkom. Farba je medeno jantárová, vôňa už nerazí tak extrémne umelo. Má síce dosť etanolový základ, ale cítiť aj drevo, kožu a koreniny. A tiež akúsi medicínsku chémiu, no nie v negatívnom zmysle. Chuťovo je rum príjemne nasládly, popravde o dosť lepší, ako som pôvodne čakal. Je tu prítomný karamel, med a vanilka, vcelku v obstojnom mixe. Od XO by som čakal predsa o čosi jemnejšie a dlhšie drevené tóny, v závere však na povrch vystupuje ostrý a štipľavý burn, typický skôr pre lacnejšie druhy. Ak by sa jednalo o rum tesne nad hranicu 20€, hodnotil by som možno o stupeň vyššie. Nie je vyložene zlý, oproti známejšiemu súrodencovi bez debaty "štandardnejší", ale za tú cenu nájdem určite viacero chutnejších a jemnejších kúskov. Subjektívne silnejších 6.

This is a very nice sipping rum. Solid flavor profile. Great for an any occasion sipper.
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."
