Bumbu Original

Really sweet, but okay for me, because I like it sweet.
It strongly smells like banana, but it hasn't a too strong banana taste.
Smooth.

The first thing that struck me was the bottle itself, it looked cool enough, but I immediately noticed the % and became suspicious that this was even truly a "Rum". Upon closer inspection of the bottle, you realize the clever wording "Bumbu Rum Co." nowhere else on the bottle does it classify itself as a Rum (most real Rum is labeled this way) which shows its truly a liqueur. That aside, for what its worth it certainly tastes good and if you, like me bought it for the bottle anyways you won't be too terribly disappointed. I think it is ok straight, but where it shines is in mixed drinks. In the end, tasty as it is in the right concoction, a 7 is the best I can warrant giving this because it isn't a true Rum.

Yes, more liquor then rum, yes, only 35%, yes too much banana flavour, BUT gives perfect caribbenan feeling, this lightly drink is a perfect summer drink, my friends and me, we all like it, and the girls too. It’s unique, and have a very stylish, old school bottle.

Heerlijke rum om met een ijsklontje erin lekker op de bank te genieten, ruikt z o et en zacht en zo smaakt ie ook, met een lekkere tinteling in je gehemelte, topper!

Veľmi chutný rum s nasládlou chuťou s príznakom vanilky a bananou. Pre začiatočníkov s rumom odporúčam ochutnať, pre tých pokročilejších sa môže zdať byť moc sladký a preferujú viac korenistejšie chute.

A lot of aromas in this rum. Maybe... Too many for my taste but excellent for some cocktails especially for people who don't care about something very fine but rather want something tasty to enjoy. I can't drink it neat cause of the very strong aromas but i enjoy it with 2 ice cubes and a slile of orange. Also i like to just wet the glass with a few drops and then poor a bourbon. Gives the bourbon a nice smell without messing with the taste too much.

Not a fan of white rums, this one is pretty good, a bit smoky in palate.

Ok with vanilla, sweet .

It’s kind of it’s own thing, but it is tasty and unique. I like having it on the shelf and every once in awhile I enjoy a glass (but it’s too sweet and fruity to have a 2nd).

It makes absolutely delicious cocktails. Whenever I make myself a rum & coke using this I have to make one for my wife too, otherwise she’ll smell it and drink all of mine!

This rum is a really good one to sip or mix with soda. The bottle makes it stand out as if it were a much higher priced rum so if you are looking to impress your friends, this is the rum to buy. I will say I have never been disappointed in the taste of this rum
