Bumbu XO

Dunkle Farbe. In der Nase zurückhaltend mit dezenten Noten nach Vanille, die zunächst von frischen Kräutern überdeckt wird. Auf der Zunge Gewürze und Röstaromen, die sich ab dem ersten Schluck verstärken. Hintergründige aber präsente Süße. Alkoholisch. Langer, warmer Abgang mit Karamell und Holznoten.

This rum has a great taste and goes down smoothly, but there is an after taste that's a little strong and different to the taste of the rum as you drink it.

That is about all you get with this one.............

Tasted much like the clear bottle. My favorite to date. A good snipper

Not too sweet, nice aroma. Everything thing else is subjective.

Has a smooth taste and is good as a sipping rum or mixed. For the price point it’s a great rum and is why I gave it an 8/10.

Nice rum with a bit of a banana flavor.this one has also hints of wood and smoke. Very nice with some ice.

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

I’ve seen it at the liquor store, and saw it at a pretty nice restaurant, so I took a shot - literally. Straight up, no ice, with a coke on the side. That’s how I always do it. Anyway, I liked the look of the bottles, but what’s inside is always the question. It was quite smooth, not too sweet, not too tangy, not overwhelming with oak or bourbon. Very nice, right down the middle. I give it an 8, not over the top as a standout, but I wouldn’t be tempted to pour it out after a few sips either. If the price is right, I would definitely add it to my home collection.

Happy to drink this, but it doesn't say "WOW" to me.

Nose with hints of coffee and caramel. Dry body (which to me is its best asset), with the alcohol prolonging on the finish, to give really quite a nice, dry finish. It leaves the tongue tingling a little which is an attractive facet. It is just a shame that the (mid) pallet is lacking an exuberance of fruit/oak.
