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.

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

Very sweet. Marketing to the core. But it's nice despite everything when you discover rum.

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.

Overrated Bullshit. Definitely for beginners, who like Don Papa, Diplomatico RE, A.H Rise, Centenario, Millinario and other very sweet “rums”. P.S design are nice for this price category

Wer Banane mag, wird auch Bumbu mögen. Viele meiner Bekannten sprechen von einem „Frauenrum“. Ich bin da anderer Meinung, mir schmeckt er sehr gut. Geruch und Geschmack sehr „bananig“, trotzdem ein echter Rum mit leichter Schärfe. Natürlich auch süß, aber R.H. Riise ist teilweise wesentlich süßer.

riecht an der Nase extrem intensiv und künstlich wie Fanta tropical zu Sirup eingekocht. schmeckt dann eher wie Gummibananen und andere künstliche Frucht Süßigkeiten. geht gar nicht...👎

Sehr süßer Rum der stark nach künstlicher Vanille schmeckt. Der Alkohol ist leicht spürbar. Definitiv eher ein Rum für Einsteiger.

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.
