Bumbu Original

Sooooooo sweet, way too much so for my taste. Had a sample at a liquor store and glad I did before buying a bottle. Could see this being a good option for someone with a taste for sweet liquor but would not purchase for myself

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)

Hard to find a good sipping rum at most bars/restaurants in northern Michigan. When I inquired recently at an establishment they stated they had Bumbu so I thought I would give it a try over a single rock.

Very sweet smell and taste. It was fairly smooth and no burn. Not much character... seemed to have just a single flavor. Many say it has a strong banana smell/taste and I agree.

It was the best they had available so it was worth a try. I would not purchase retail.

Overall the rum was really sweet with a lot of banana. Doesn't really taste like an aged rum, more like banana candy in a bottle. If your into that this is the rum for you, but this is definitely not what you expect from an aged rum.

I was fooled by the marketing on this bottle. Catchy bottle theme and based off of the claim of original recipe created by 16th and 17th Century sailor's makes you want to try it.
I was really disappointed on the first sip. There is a lot of added sugar and does not taste like Rum.
This is better used for putting on vanilla ice cream or making desserts.
This is way overpriced and I felt robbed by pirate's. Nice pirate bottle. No treasure inside unfortunately.

Don't know where to start, smells like bactine or bandaid spray, but then you taste it and nothing happens until you swallow it, then the magic happens where the keebler elf pisses banana extract down your throat. 3 stars just for the experience.

Ok so I bought it for the cool looking bottle, 10/10 for design, simple and pirate inspired. As for the rum, very strong banana syrup taste and definitely not something I enjoyed sipping even with ice. It did make a fun dark and stormy though.

This is a huge sugar bomb and should be labeled a spice rum with all the banana flavoring added. It tastes good, but it is more a liqueur than a rum

Heavily adultered rum that tastes as fake as it is. The flavor notes include sugar, more sugar, and a little cinnamon. Boring and inoffensive at best, gross and disingenuous at worst.

Very sweet sugar added hard to tell what the rum actually tastes like
