Bumbu XO

Unlike the other Bumbu, this really tastes like Rum in the first place. But generally like you'd imagine how an average rum tastes, so there is nothig outstanding. But still not bad, overpriced though in my opinion.

Just like its Original version, this is a good rum to start with but this time, we can say that it is a rum. A good entry level rum for aged (and accessible) rums and also very good to prepare one's palate to less sweet things (without the 40g/l of sugar) despite being finished in sherry casks. Nevertheless, it is a rum that loses a lot of interest by tasting more complex and worked things. We also regret this opaque black bottle that hides the liquid and, for my part, the cork that ended up being attacked by alcohol. However, the bottle remains in this pirate spirit, quite fun at first. A rum with, I think, more interest in mixology than dry.

I also like the Bumbu Original, but this one is already very good for me. Not sweet, very balanced, I think coffee to recognize, a long soft finish. A super rum, for the quality at a very reasonable price to get.

at least here you can see that it is still a rum. nevertheless, it is not a round thing and rather very thin and watered down, very boring and uncomplex and also unusually alcoholic and unpleasant to drink. 👎

I like it a lot 👍 Nose: Very clear coffee, nutty and some spicy notes. I was expecting some more of it on the nose .... Palate: Nicely balanced between spicy and toffee hints ... I especially like coffee part of it and also the fruitiness... Finish: Pleasant but not too long. Definitely the best neat 🔝

Strangely sweet and synthetic. Not a good rum!

Oproti základnímu Bumbu není sladký, je spíše dřevitý. Příjemný. S klasickým Bumbu nelze srovnávat.

První vzorek jsem měl možná už pár let zpátky. Teď jsem ochutnal od manželky a nic moc. Ani mě to nepřišlo moc sladká, ale strašně mi vadí lihovost.

Podstatne menej sladké ako originál

A rather sweet and slightly fruity aroma, some vanilla. The taste is also rather sweet and flat.

It was one of my first rums. I just get to retasting this one after a while. Definitely better than the original. I like the flask design with an iconic X. On palate it is not bad, moderate but fine. Ideal for casual drinking for an affordable price for beginners . It was one of my first rum. I just get to retasting this one after a while.

I like the original better than the xo. For me the taste was too strong and missing sweetness.

À nouveau goûté avec le Rhum Club Lille. Moins sucré que dans mon souvenir même si ça reste trop pour moi. Pas mal de caramel de café; quelques fruits légers. Je suppose qu’il faut bien commencer quelque part :)

I don’t understand how this has a 7. Maybe it’s because it’s a gateway rum, but it’s too syrupy sweet. A pretty terrible nose with lots of medicinal smells and a taste that’s just like sweet piss. Idk poop rum.

I'd say this should be used for a mixer.
