Bumbu Original

I actually really dislike this rum. It's one of the only rums I refuse to drink. It's just bad.

This rum is what got me hooked on rum. It gets a lot of hate for being fake but I personally love the sweetness and extra added flavors. I don’t drink it nearly as often as I used to as my pallet has grown more refined, but I still always have a bottle on the shelf and enjoy it whenever I drink it.

For me, it had a note of coffee flavour in it.
It may have been just the fact that it's sweeter than a regular rum that makes it have a hint of coffee flavour, but it's still an amazing rum to sip.

I agree with FranzPattison, don’t know why Bumbu original is not rated higher. I get all the comments about banana and doesn’t taste like a traditional rum, but why do all rums need to taste the same? Bumbu is a great sipping rum, no need to mix or water it down. It is the smoothest rum I have tried. I personally love the taste and would highly recommend it to anyone.

And yes, it does go great in a banana daiquiri. ;-)

Tijdens welpenkamp hinde winkel toch een flesje rum gehaald. Het liefst in piratenstijl. We mochten zelfs even proeven en de werthers smaak vind ik ook.

I like the rum a lot it is perfect to mix wit coke and tho drink on a sunny day

Pokud mate radi sladké rumy bude vám Bumbu chutnat, chuť karamelu, vanilky, kořeni. Není to rum kterého by jste vypili láhev za večer, ale jako “zákusek” velmi slušný rum.

No sé bien lo que me ha extrañado más, el olor es muy afrutado, pero sin que sea a ninguna fruta en concreto, en boca muy suave por algo los 35 grados y tonos afrutados al principio luego sale el alcohol....bastante alcohol dándole un regusto alcohólico, para mi desagradable, desde luego no es muy añejo, según la ley actual solo rones jóvenes pueden tener menos de 40.....la mayoría lo dejan en 38 y este se va a solo 35, no se de dónde le viene la fama, por eso el aprobado, igual combinandolo mejora.....yo no creo que repita el precio fue sobre 18€, hay otros que me gustan más y más baratos.

This may be a "rum" people like and would probably make a good mixer for certain fruity and blended cocktails, but this is not my thing. Imagine a banana, vanilla Laffy taffy with more sugar and a waxy mouthfeel and thats all you need to know about how this tastes. I did not care for it at all. Not a rum to me on any level, especially not a 15 year aged rum as described. It's a really bad liquor posing as a rum.

Affordable rum. Bought at meijer on sale for 25
Carmel. Soft banana
