Bumbu XO

Dit is iets sterker als de orginele maar toch de moeite om een exemplaar in huis te hebben

It was a surprise for me, but this XO version tasted a little bit worse than the ordinary one. Hm, fortunately I didn't buy the whole bottle, because in general I don't like Bumbu rum. Generally I like sweet rums, but this one tastes a little bit better than sweet water, nothing special for its price.

Decent rum. Very complex with a unique taste/flavor that lingers. Would buy it again but not as a first choice.

Once I get my family/friends to try regular Bumbu, I can then tell who are my rum drinking buddies if they like XO. Even my cheap brother-in-law up in MI now stocks it :-)

Not as sweet as the original and also a bit more layered in taste, still missing some roundness.

Nice Amber coloured rum, Sweet not tot alchoholic scent, a balanced nog top Sweet flavour, little Sharp on the tongue. Long lingering caramel like aftertaste. Overal a pleasent rum for sipping. But not very special.

Balanced from the nose through body to the finish. Slight banana flavor. A food sipping rum.

I am very satisfied like always with Barbados rums. Not so sweet like Original (it is not rum for me) and more balanced. Pleasantly stronger.

There is much better for the same price (~40). It tastes "cheap".

Weak flavour, weakly coconut finish. Doesn't really hold up as a sipper. Lackluster
