Easy to drink, not much flavours, sugar added, banana. With cola I think I could drink it all night, but for that price range I demand something more. I would give it lower note but it definitly has some orginality within its taste, and botlle is great. It is good for gift becouse of it and good for rum newbies.

Edit: I have to edit my opinion, and add something after having couple glasses of Bimbu more:
I feel those banana / vanilla notes are artificial added, and I've realized that I regret buying this rum, for the first time I had to puor some different rum to this botlle and mix it becouse I wanted to try to save it, and partially I've succeded, but is this a solution? I am dissapointed.

Stay away, behind that nice botlle and marketing its a empty shell, not real rum!

Final verdict: I will not buy it again

Got this on the rocks to get the flavors of the rum, definitely wasn't what I expected, I think this would be a much better mixed drink rum.

Very powerful vanilla scent that is really amazing. Smooth taste with strong vanilla followed by caramel. The wife also really enjoyed this one.

Started with scent of banana cocoa and caramel. Sipped over ice and went down smooth. Lingering taste of bananas.

Je to velice zajímavý rum. Míchá se tam spoustu chuti. Je sladký. Hodně tón čokolády.

This rum is a very good choice for a summer afternoon. Banana flavour with smooth caramel. Very good rum for the money!

I rate all my rums on the money spend and the bang for your buck. This one was $35 and it was well worth it. Back sweetened, Yip, flavor played with a bit, Yip. If you are a Rum purest then stay away, to an extent I am a purest however this one goes outside the box and I like it. Rum to me is all about taste and this one is very nice. Lots of Banana, fruits and vanilla. The best Rum and coke i have ever had. Neat is also good and tasty.. Get your self a bottle and have fun with it..

Smells like bananas and caramel apple to me. Not the smoothest, but very nice. The bottle is what sold the rum.

Reminds me of a banana flavoured cough syrup, nice at first few sips, then it becomes too much. Wife liked it more...
