Purchased this craft rum online at Amazon for around £30 for it to arrive calling itself Bumbu rum to find it comes in at 35% ABV. To be classed as a rum it needs to be above 37.5%. This spirit drink as it informs you on the back is made from a blend of rums from Barbados aged for up to 15 years in rather sceptical how much of this bottle is a 15 year old as the blend feels rather young. The aroma is heavy caramel coffee/cacao and it tastes like that too it's been heavily sweetened and you can feel that on the lips. It's a nice spiced rum drink but not a rum and I personally don't see what justifies the price!

Not a rum for me. The taste of banana is very strong and has a bad after taste.

A nice sweet rum, the tastes of banana, vanilla & sweet caramel could be a bit much for some but it's a smooth rum you should try at least once.

A present for me but inthibk the rum is to sweet. I Can drink it but maybe this is better besides à coffee after dinner or something.

Un bon rhum même si je suis novice et que je n’ai pas encore l’expérience nécessaire à sa totale découverte.
Une odeur de banane est perceptible ainsi qu’un mélange de vanille et de caramel.
Au goût, le caramel et la vanille sont plus facilement perceptible tandis qu’un arrière-goût de banane est légèrement perceptible.

I received this one as a gift. I tried it neat to see how it goes but soon switched to adding coke to it. I enjoyed it as I like the sweetness and would definitely have it again.

The distributor said that sugarcane from 8 countries were used to produce this rum - Barbados, Belize, El Salvator, Brazil, Guayana, Costa Rica, Honduras and Dominican Republic. I love travelling indeed, however considering the taste, it's pretty sweet, (too) spicy and aromatic - some people say vanilla, the others banana or caramel. We emptied the whole bottle at once, which was not a good idea for this rather occasional sipping drink. I believe that girls, if present, would appreciate it much more :).

Very Smooth. Don’t insult this Rum by mixing it with pop.

Tastes like a strong banana liquor. Not traditional but I like it when I'm in the mood for dessert.

This rum is great on its own. This rum has a good flavour with banana undertones that lingers without being overpowering.
