Bumbu The Original

This is definitely a good rum for beginners. A bit too sweet for me, but still nicely balanced and an easy sipper. The nose is sweet with vanilla and chocolate. The palate is sweet and fruity with spices and caramel. Kind of a smooth rum. The finish is medium and sweet with vanilla.

Too sweet although the banana note is fun. Toy rum.

Who likes banana, will also like Bumbu.many of my acquaintances speak of a "women's rum". I disagree, I like it very much. Smell and taste very "bananig", yet a real rum with slight sharpness. Of course, also sweet, but R.H. Riise is partly much sweeter.

Very sweet. Marketing to the max. But it's still pleasant when you discover rum. Edit: tasted again after a few years. It's really bad. It's the kind of product that doesn't serve rum. It's at best a sweet digestif to be drunk on the rocks. THIS IS NOT A RUM!

Well, what to say. Bumbu is one of my most favorite rums of all time. In the Fun for your buck ratio it doesn't have much contenders at all. Fruity and bananas. Mnam dopici.

out of the bunch of the super popular spiced rums, I guess I like this best (way better than Don Papa). it gives strong Bananabread vibes that are interesting and don't taste too chemical like with Don Papa.

2022 Interesting development of banana/caramel on the nose, solid on the palate to a slightly toasty finish. Unfortunately very, very sweet, almost sticky, which drowns out any other flavors that may be present. A nice party sipper in an admittedly very succinctly decorated bottle.

Very sweet rum. As I've read, they put tropical fruits in the distillate, which makes it extremely sweet. This is not a rum for me, but could be an entrance-rum for someone unfamiliar. It has a sweet nose and heavy notes of banana, vanilla and caramel. Updated with picture from the same tasting

This rum is very good for initiation to the world of rum, very accessible for beginners who do not want to assault their palate with more robust rums, thanks to its increased sweetness and its strong taste of banana, vanilla, caramel. We can also note the pirate type bottle, rather flattering in its bar and pleasant to look at, for a first bottle of rum. It is also the type of bottle to have in its bar and to share without moderation with guests swearing by Captain Morgan and Malibu. It remains pleasant and festive... For a rum-based spirit.

Nothing for me, much too sweet and artificial. Better than Don Papa, but that is not a real opponent.

6,8:The nose is very sweet, opening with notes of banana candy, caramel. This confectionery rum announces a very bubblegum spirit, with peach syrup and a hint of grenadine, pear. Aeration takes us to even sweeter notes of cinnamon and vanilla, with the powderiness of a marshmallow. 6,2:The palate is round and sweet, with a slightly spicy barley-sugar flavor, caramel. The banana candy melts into a syrup scented with toasted oak, pear and develops into roasted notes (coffee). 6:The finish is sweet, round, sticky and roasted.

Very, very small cinema. Very artificial and unpleasant.

Very sweet rum with a predominance of banana in the sensory aspect. In mouth it takes very well and is pleasant. It goes very well with a marijuana cigar and grilled meat. Salu! 🥃

Smell 3/10 Taste 3/10 Aftertaste 4/10 Image 4/10 (info about rum, bottle, carton-box, sugar free, marketing....) Total impression 3,5/10 ------------------ BTL Due to the fake marketing one of the worst enemies at the gates of the real rum world for all newbies 👎👎👎

This is not a rum but a rum based spirit. The taste and also the smell are very intense like banana which I perceive as positive because the banana does not come across as artificial. However, the product is far too sweet for my taste. Therefore I cannot recommend it
