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.

Solid, balanced RUM, I like that little bite at the End. Not for sweet lovers. Great first step to the world of sipping RUMS.

This is a good sipper for the price, but there are many more that cost slightly more and taste much better. I’m a big fan of the unique taste of the regular Bumbu, but this is geared more like a sipper but I’d recommend Flor De Cana 12 or Zacapa 23 over this one.

Really different. Took me a while to recognize the flavor. Has a green banana taste. If you don't like that, you will not like this rum. I enjoyed it

Mildly medicinal but far less than I predicted. Semi-sweet (drier than most rums) and decently smooth with minimal bite and burn. It does leave you with a slight banana taste in your mouth but it's extremely subtle. Not the greatest rum ever but totally decent and well worth trying.

I loved the original and had to try this one. It's less sweet and stronger than tge original but very good nonetheless 😁

Love the spices and flavor. The bouquet was the most alluring part. One ice cube and sip.

Hier ist ein ausgewogenes Preis Leistungs(Geschmacks-) Verhältnis. Bei Zimmertemperatur getrunken schmeckt er langanhaltend süss angenehm. Den Kauf ich wieder.

Nice sipping rum, but easy to forget. The bottle is more memorable.

Didn’t like this rum. Not knowledgeable enough to make more contribution.
