My go to drink is an Old Fashioned with Wild Turkey and that's about as fancy as I go. I'm not super picky when it comes to my spirits and generally choose price over quality.I wanted to try some rum so I tried this and a Sailor Jerry. This Bumbu is wild delicious. Just on the rocks is like an instant old fashioned with some extra spices and flavors. Big fan of this. Will definitely be a go to for me now. Compared to Sailor Jerry this stuff is WAY better. Like wow.

Taking all of this into consideration, this is a fantastic addition to your bar to get people started on the path of appreciating rum. As long as you are straightforward and explain what it takes to be a true rum, When compared to Scotch or Whiskey, Bumbu can be that "starter" Rum that encourages people to be brave and sip Rum straight.

This rum has a pure flavor profile throughout. There is no other rum in the world that compares to the history of the distillery, the excellence of the ingredients, and the purity of the flavor. This is the flavor that comes to mind when you think of a pirate rum. Why some people claim it's not rum baffles me, but if you look it up you'll see the beauty this island has captured in a bottle for all of us to enjoy. Each taste contains a bottle of tropical paradise!

There is a strong banana flavor upfront and center. It's a bit like fake banana fcandy lavoring but there is also something else, maybe coconut or mild pineapple? What follows the initial punch is a light but mature whiskey flavor. It's complexity shows up more subtley on the backend and is like switching music genres mid-dance. This isn't bad at all because everything about it is quality. I can see why it's won awards. But I also know people who hate banana and would probably be turned off by this. For everyone else, it'll be a nice discussion peice for socials and you won't regret buying it otherwise. It's a fun whiskey to drink, defenite mood elevator.
I was sceptical on how this would taste, based on how affordable it was, bit first time I took a taste I was hooked. This is absolutely the best (original style) rum ever. So good that I've given it as gifts and converted wiskey and scotch only drinkers. I this is the only alcoholic beverage I've bought cases of. I use this as my comparison beverage when shopping around and trying new brands. If you haven't tried it already, even if you don't like rum, you must.
This rum tastes fantastic neat but also works well with Coke. Many of my friends purchased bottles after I circulated a picture of the bottle and warned them that it was risky. Given that vanilla is the first flavor you notice, it undoubtedly contains vanilla undertones. The flavor of the banana that follows is truly what stays with me. It also has a lovely color and aroma, with vanilla serving as the primary flavor once more. My favorite liquor is rum, thus I've officially lost interest in all other rums.
The absolutely best rum I have tried. I am a rum girl and have been for over 30 years. I try many different rums that hit the shelf. I tasted the rum with an owner of a private owned liquor store invited me for a taste. I asked for Coke as a mixer and he assured me that I would want to taste it alone first. I was blown away how smooth this run taste. If you must do a mixer, a splash is all that you will need! Lil Wayne did good!!!
The reviews that mention banana are accurate! This is similar to a bottle-based bananas foster. On the nose, there is a strong banana aroma and sweetness. pours a gorgeous, dark caramel. The first taste has a sweet beginning with additional banana, but it soon reveals vanilla and oak, and it ends with cinnamon and nutmeg. I couldn't quite taste the allspice that was described in the description.
Just bought the bigger bottle. My daughter collects bottles for display in her bar. Striking bottle for displayThe content is very high in a vanilla/ butterscotch note to my nose. Velvet smooth on the way down. With more vanilla memories on the tongue. Warming the soul as well as rum tummy. Now I'm looking forward to some of the aged variety. I'd say in my unrefined opinion, a very good shelf show, as in bottles. An even better sip on cold nights.
I understand that many "experts" will go on and on about how the percentages prevent it from being a true rum, and I agree, BUT!!! Despite its shortcomings, this is still a fantastic "rum." Banana, vanilla, possibly some spice, and a little bite at the finish are among the many flavors. Since I don't like the coffee feeling that the XO gives off, I actually prefer it. If you're searching for something different and savory and have some spare cash, I'd recommend getting this instead. Definitely do not mix with it! However, I still suggest it.
