Bumbu XO

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

I preferred the cheaper, artificial banana laced predecessor. I think there are rums in this price range that are far superior. I wouldn't buy it again.

Durchschnittlicher Rum, der überhaupt nicht sprittig ist und wenig brennt. Geschmacklich solides Mittelfeld mit dunklen Noten, gewisser Würze und einer angenehmen Süße.

Basically like Bumbu original but with a tiny bit more complexity, probably not worth the extra cost. Still way too sweet for my liking

I prefer the base edition of Bumbu. This feels young and too spirity. The alcohol stings the nose and the palate. Skip this.

After the initial enthusiasm for the banana Bumbu (in my beginnings with rums), I bought this black brother XO without studying the reviews. After tasting, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. This is 100 and 1 and something completely different, I wasn't ready for that. Just oak and smoke and no pleasant smell. I sold the bottle to my brother-in-law. There is no hint of sweetness in it, both rums lack a golden mean ...

Po prvotním nadšení z banánového Bumbu (ve svých počátcích s rumy) jsem bez studování recenzí zakoupil i tohodle černého bratra XO. Po ochutnání jsem myslel, že budu mít infarkt. Tohle je 100 a 1 a úplně něco jiného, na to jsem nebyl připraven. Jen dub a kouř a žádná vůně. Láhev jsem prodal švagrovi. Není v něm ani náznak sladkosti, oběma rumům chybí zlatá střední cesta...

Surprise by the really special taste. Stronger than expected. It's like tobacco or coffee, the oak flavour makes it interesting.
Tastes way more harsh than the smell.

Ok, but not mine too be honest.

Rating 5-6.

Another Bumbu, but less sweety, no alchohol sharpness, nice aroma

Or, all of the above? Taste like watered down over proof rum. I surely taste water and flavored alcohol here. More so than rum which is what the label says. There are other panama rums w/ the same price range out there that just blow this right overboard. There is banana in there but
the diluting covers it up. XO, seriously, they got some set calling it XO. Nice bottle but Never again!

Didn’t like this rum. Not knowledgeable enough to make more contribution.
