     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!
