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.

This is super smooth taste. Nice to sip after a long day at work.

New to rum sampling, but this is one of the smoothest rums I have ever tasted. Candy type tastes but not as sweet tasting as other lower value runs I have tasted. Great rum to show off to company.

Heavily adultered rum that tastes as fake as it is. The flavor notes include sugar, more sugar, and a little cinnamon. Boring and inoffensive at best, gross and disingenuous at worst.

Strong sweet banana flavour.
Tastes good over ice.
However in small quantities too sickly.
Stunning bottle

I find this rum smooth and enjoyable. Sure it not a top rated expensive rum. But it mellow enough to sip and lovely to use as a mixer.

I am quite surprised at the absolute snobbery seen in these threads. Is this a premium rum? No. Is this sweet? Yes. Is there strong hints of vanilla and fruit? Yes. Is it a liqueur more than a drinking rum? Probably. Would I serve this and pass it off as top shelf? No damn way, the gimmicky bottle gives it away. Is it fun, easy drinking, and a way to get the less tipple-trendy people a way to have a sip that won't make them spit it out? Yes. Will the rum connoisseur spit it out, roll his eyes, and feign grievous injury and insult to his haughty and pretentious pallette? Hell yes, and it will be fun to watch the antics just before you slap his prideful, pompous, petty personality back to earth!! Enjoy it for what it is, don't expect more, and pour it over ice cream...giggling while your betwixed and bemused friend balls up in pain! :)

Taste just like a desert your grandmother would make. Great flavor and good to drink however you like it.

This one has become the sipping rum in the family, even my 99 year old granny loves it, it's so smooth and flavorful that is easy to love, great on the rocks, good for cocktails too

Very sweet rum, significant banana flavor with a caramel undertone. Nice bottle. Highly recommend it to women's.
