Bumbu XO

Good sipping, not to harsh some molasses notes very consistent.

...and got it. Why I did not finish Matusalem 18 instead? Definitely nobody know ).

Tasty rum, but sugar is masking it's origin. Want something sweet for the same price? Go Diplomatico RE

Not as good as the clear bottle... but not something I would shy away from buying...

This one surprised me as it was a little oaky and had some slight hints of caramel but not at all have any hint of spices like the other one.

Far from the original, no heavy sweet banana taste, easy going down, but still a sweet rum

If you like premium rum this one will probably more to your liking than the original Bumbu. It's a "real" rum without added sugar. It's worth to note that both rums don't seem to have anything in common beside the brand name: The OG Bumbu is from Barbados and the XO is from Panama. It in deed tastes like a ~10 year old Panamesian rum.

I think it is a bit overpriced for what it is but it is decent.

V chuti karamel, dřevitost dubu, vanilku, trochu pomerančové kůry, a na závěr trochu pepře a kávu.

At €55 a bottle there are better options out there. Lacks character, this is neither a sweet rum nor a particularly dry one. Nothing complex or interesting on the palate or nose. A glass of mediocrity hence the 5

This guy was less sweet than regular bumbu and went down extra smooth. Great rum for a special ish occasion (because you want to drink it more often haha)

Was expecting more from my first panamanian, but will probably drink it again.
