Bumbu XO

Sucré agréable facile a boire

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.

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.

Podstatne menej sladké ako originál

Ich habe den XO und den original Bumbu heute gemeinsam verkostet. Mein Fazit: Der Original Bumbu kommt bei mir nicht mehr ins Rumglas. Da ist mir zuviel Süße und Banane drinnen, entspricht eher einen Likör Ale einen Rum. Der XO ist authentischer, und geht als interessanter Einsteiger Rum durch. Kommt ganz bestimmt sehr gut in diversen Cocktails. Ich habe vor einiges auszuprobieren.

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 🔝

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 :)

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

6,5:The nose opens on a roasted register, with strongly toasted oak, coffee, charcoal and roasted nuts. A little vanilla sweetness gradually coats all this, along with a slightly fruity cane syrup. With aeration, the nuts become increasingly concentrated and roasted, the coffee even tighter. It's easy to imagine a truly charred barrel. 7,3:The palate is round and very caramelized. The sweet rum has licked the toasted wood and taken all its vanilla with it. The coffee and roasted nuts are generously coated, so that their burnt side is totally melted. 7,3:The finish unfolds on the same roasted notes. It s more rigid on the nose, it opens on palate. Quite nice, but no more than that.

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

I would prefer original over this one. A bit too woody for my liking. Still can be enjoyed neat.

The Original has character. It's very sweet, it's like biting into a cake. You can love it or not, but it's clear what it is like. It is also very sweet, perhaps too much so, but without character or characteristics. You drink it and forget about it. Average.

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