“For me, much too sweet. Unfortunately, only tasting of caramel and vanilla. No complexity. And boring. For beginners certainly very well suited for me personally not”

“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.”

“It could be worse. The caramel and woody flavors are nice but the alcohol is not integrated very well.”

“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 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.”

“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 🔝”
