Bumbu Original

First of all I have to say that I enjoy most of the sweet thing. While they claim there is no sugar or flavor added... Ehh I can't believe it. There is no doubt that they add something and I will not say it is a rum for connoisseur. I still have enjoyed it though but will not recommend it as a true rum.

Had this at local whiskey bar and thought it was a little on the sweet side. Still pretty good so I bought a bottle. I think this is more of a dessert rum than an everyday sipping rum.

Plenty of criticism on this one at their ethnicity, labelled as Craft Rum, but at strength of 35% and added ingredient, technically a spiced rum instead. However, spiced rum are considered crafted right?

N- Banana fritter with chocolate sauce, sugar in the heart with green mango and young fruit, quite potent at the tail with nail polish with hints of white distillate. (79/16)

P- Vanilla, clove, cardamon and assam boi, gently salty-sweet, light, feel tropical and relaxing, would drink this over some crushed ice under the shades of coconut trees, by the sea of course. (83/18)

F- Short, light, sweet but not cloying. Confusing labeling apart, this is acceptable to me, and certainly there are poorer spiced rum out there. (83/18)

B/B- 83/18

Un rhum que je trouve bon, agréable et facile à boire surtout en fin de repas. Les arômes de vanille et de banane très marqués, sans grande subtilité ni trop de longueur en bouche, mais agréable en dessert, et très fluide. Je le rapprocherais assez d'un Don Papa pour le goût, et d'un rhum bas de gamme pour la texture.

Why not. Sweet and fruity rum. I like sweeter rums and this one will be one of my favourites. For someone maybe much fruity and yes, this one is not classic rum. :) Smell is very strong fruity, mostly banana.

very sweet rum, flavor of banana and apples, veri unique but for this price i can buy better one

a blended rum from difrent islands which is blended into a sweet fruity rum poored into an attractive bottle with a corck

This rum is straight bananas on the nose and palate. It’s low proof, sweet and easy to drink. A great starter rum for people who haven’t yet developed a palate for the dryer and more balanced rums.

Thankfully it is not as off putting as AH Riise stuff, but it is so far from rum as Fanta.

Although Bumbu boasts a much sweeter and banana flavor than other higher end rums, this is still one of my go-to bottles.
It sips incredibly well, and leaves a sweet taste of vanilla on the tongue.
It’s certainly not something to drink too many of, as the sugar will work it’s magic in the morning. But, a great after dinner treat.
