I tried this rum for my first unexpected tasting at a workshop at the end of 2021, and I took an empty bottle home and sniffed for a long time. I've ignored rumy so far, and that's where it started. It's mania and in the end I collect rums or watches like before ... We already have the 3rd bottle of Bumba at home and even though I grew out of it, I won't forget it, I have had dreams about that banana for a long time :-) However, it is too artificial and scented and I actually stopped tasting.

Tento rum jsem zkusil na své první nečekané degustaci na workshopu koncem roku 2021 a prázdnou láhev jsem si vezl domů a dlouho k ní čichal. Rumy jsem dosud ignoroval a tímhle to vlastně začalo. Je z toho mánie a sbírám to jako dřív nože, či hodinky... Bumbu už máme doma 3. láhev a i když jsem z něj vyrostl, nezapomenu na něj, o tom banánu se mi dlouho zdálo :-) Nicméně je příliš umělý a navoňaný a už mi vlastně přestal chutnat.

Like the title says already, it’s a very sweet but also smooth drink. If you prefer less sweet I wouldn’t recommend it

Overspiced. And under 40%. Maybe for sweetness lovers, but not real rum

Complex, strong but sweet. Try it with coffee and cream (Jamaican coffee). Heaven.

This is a delectable rum that some reviewers have cast aside because of it's bottle or label, or saying it tastes like banana. However, the tasting notes are strong caramel, vanilla, and allspice. Try it and see how delicious it truly is. This is rum for sipping, especially if you have a sweet tooth!

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.

It tastes like cream soda. A rum that might be drinkable with coke or ginger ale. But like a 1p sweet it's not something to have regularly

Fine rum, deliciously sweetened, with a strong aroma of currant vanilla, gooseberry. This rum will not offend even an experienced consumer. Everyone should taste it.
