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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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"

"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."

"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. 👎"

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

"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."

"Strangely sweet and synthetic. Not a good rum!"

"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."

"Pamatuju si dobu kdy pro mě byl top rum klasické bumbu, měl sem narozeniny a dostal darem toto. Ale po tom klasickém bumbu to bylo celkem peklíčko. Dneska je to pořád peklíčko, ale z jiného směru. Nicméně nostalgie je nostalgie :-)."

"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."

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