It pours brown in colour. Aroma and flavour are of banana and vanilla. It's quite sweet and only just on the right side of smooth to drink neat. I prefer to drink it with cola or Kinnie but it's certainly not the nicest rum I've tasted.

Tried with rum loving friends, we called it bum juice, which is fitting. Horribly sweet, tastes full of fake flavorings, so many much better spiced rums out there. The bottle will attract many no doubt

Like the title says already, it’s a very sweet but also smooth drink. If you prefer less sweet I wouldn’t recommend it

Overspiced. And under 40%. Maybe for sweetness lovers, but not real rum

Complex, strong but sweet. Try it with coffee and cream (Jamaican coffee). Heaven.

This is a delectable rum that some reviewers have cast aside because of it's bottle or label, or saying it tastes like banana. However, the tasting notes are strong caramel, vanilla, and allspice. Try it and see how delicious it truly is. This is rum for sipping, especially if you have a sweet tooth!

Hard to find a good sipping rum at most bars/restaurants in northern Michigan. When I inquired recently at an establishment they stated they had Bumbu so I thought I would give it a try over a single rock.

Very sweet smell and taste. It was fairly smooth and no burn. Not much character... seemed to have just a single flavor. Many say it has a strong banana smell/taste and I agree.

It was the best they had available so it was worth a try. I would not purchase retail.

It tastes like cream soda. A rum that might be drinkable with coke or ginger ale. But like a 1p sweet it's not something to have regularly
