This is a rum that gets a horrific rep in rum circles due to pure adulteration of a Barbados cask but I taste this being mindful of not letting this taint my view.
Nosing
Burnt sugar , sugar , bananas , cloves
Tasting
Bananas in abundance , teeth rotting sweetness like a banana foam sweet .
I absolutely love this rum! It's very tasty and smooth.

If you read "And a bottle of rum" by Wayne Curtis, you'll note that "bombo" was an early (in the history of rum) mix of watered down rum with extra sugar/molases, which is basically what is on offer here - as such the extra sugar and water make it sippable and easy on the pallet.
That said, based on friends I have introduced it to, the taste definitely splits opinion - much like the reviews I have read here. To me the unusual bananary flavour and easy sipping offers a party like change of scene from more traditional rums.

Lots of sweet vanilla on the nose and then an even sweeter hit of banana. Very thick, synthetic tasting stuff this. Obviously got a lot of added sugar with some artificial banana and vanilla flavouring. OK for a little sip but you don't want too much and it's far too sweet for a mixer. This is not rum, it's more like a hybrid rum / banana rum liqueur.
The flavor is great. One of my favorite together with Flor de Cana 12.

Nagyon édes, nagyon vanilliás "rum", csak csajoknak ajánlom.
Too much sweetness..une drink ok,but more than that,is too much for me.

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.
