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.

I love many different styles of rum. This Bumbu is in a specific category. Sweet, creamy, orange zest. So great as an old fashioned with Angostura. Maybe you wouldn’t expect a 7 of me compared to my other 7+ ratings, but this is just another style. And within that category this is really great.

It was so rich in tastes. Vanilia and much more. It can be a good choice for coctails.

I bought this rum to add to my arsenal. It goes down easy and mixes well with pineapple or orange juice.

When I first popped the cork and smelled this I was shocked. Very strong scents of banana and vanilla. No alcohol smell at all. In the glass it smelled like more banana. First sip was banana, vanilla and caramel. Very smooth but very sweet. Like rediculously smooth. It fades to a nice spice and heat but the sweetness coats the mouth. I was expecting more flavor but the sweetness doesnt allow it to come through. Overall good but too sweet to be a sipper. And I like sweet.
Mixing this made for some very tasty drinks. And it is my wife new favorite for rum and cokes.

I really like this rum, and always keep a bottle on hand. It has a unique taste, and I like to share it with friends to see what flavors they taste in it. I enjoy it on the rocks, usually with a little bit of lime.

Very sweet, the vanilla tastes good but the strong artificial banana taste is weird. It's nice when compared to most of the competition. It's overpriced for what it is but the bottles nice.

Surprisingly, not that bad. However definitely not classic.

Smells strong vanilla from distance yet feels like somewhat enhanced. Taste is sweet as candy and a bit unnatural. Was it not so over the head, would be perfect.

I really liked this rum. At first, I thought it was a Banana flavored Rum. But no—just an estery, funky (slightly spiced) rum. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. Very smooth. Not my favorite, but a good choice. Interesting and different for sure! I don’t usually drink or enjoy spiced rum, but this is objectively a good product. Haters are probably a little biased against spiced rums in general—this is hardly even that. Closer to a strong Jamaican in flavor profile.

Has a delicate smell and taste is not bad, but it is to me too parfumed and fruity, landing quite far from rum default taste.
