Bumbu Rum XO rum is distilled in Panama before spending 18 years in American white oak bourbon barrels, with a further short finish in Andalusian white oak sherry barrels.

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.

It is not very spectacular but it's a serious one. Strong, powerful stroke, coffee and smoke aroma at the beginning. Aftertaste is bananas and a little bit peaches.
The aftertaste doesn't last enough.
A good one!

What made this rum stand out for me was the hints of coffee notes and banana. Very easy drinking rum as a sipper or with ice. Would be an insult to this rum to drink with coke. Smooth finish and much better than the regular bumbu

Bon rhum de dégustation, je crois que j'aime mieux l'original.

I was slightly disappointed but this. It has a dark mahogany colour and a nose that reminds me of eldorado 8. The taste is a bit off with a sweet oak burn. IMHO it is overpriced at $70 at the LCBO but my wife brought it a cross the US border and cost her over $100 with duty.

well balanced and complex dark rum

Copper-brown colour. Quite some evolution and a big water edge
Medium intense in the nose with aroma's of caramel, coffee and some orange peel.
Soft start on the palate with some gentle touch of the alcohol.
Same aroma's as in the nose. Caramel, coffee, some orange peel, accompanied with vanilla and some toasted aroma's of what I thought was bourbon casks (also sherry casks, so it seems).
A very long finish.
This is a quite complex and well balanced rum. Nothing in comparison with the banana spiced "original Bumbu" (which I personally also like).
Here you have the complexity of a well aged dark rum in oak barrels.
People who expect an overripe banana tree in this bottle will be disappointed, however :-)
