Bumbu Original

Share "Mic" post, which I exactly agree.

This crap is overpriced and overloaded with an unnatural sweetness. There is strong smell of alcohol, vanilla extract, and banana laffy taffy as you lift your glass to take a sip. The body is weak and sugary with a finish that is chemical tasting sprinkled with peppered bananas. This stuff is only good for maybe making mixed party drinks. I can definitely see a bad hangover from over indulging in this one due to the high sugar content. Traditional rum drinkers this is a pass. There are A TON of better rums out there for $30+ that I paid for this one like appletons 12 year rare blend.

This is the rum that got me into rum. I had only had kraken before this but the tropical flavours got me. My pallet has changed since I first had this, about 7 years ago and I prefer less spice now but still love a double of this every few weeks. A must in the cabinet.

XO was more harsh, needed ice. Original was smooth, very vanilla heavy.

Think this is one of the better rums I have tasted so far. I'm loving the sweetness in the taste and you actually taste the vanilla when you drink it. On the other side I like to have some other rums on the side to balance the sweetness.

I enjoy the vanilla profile with bumbu. My favorite way to drink bumbu is in an old fashioned cocktail. Very enjoyable!

My dad drinks his coffee with 4 sugars and 2 creams...this was the rum equivalent of that. I was shocked at the taste and it took me awhile to come to grips with it. I want to sip rum, not fire up Type 2 Diabetes.

I tried this once. It's watery and sweet. The fact it's bottled at 35% to save on taxes yet costs as much as a premium blend. For me is good.

Nothing special on first tasting but much nicer on the second glass
