What people across the internet are saying
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ 3/5 AI Rating

RumX and Distiller reviewers find Bumbu extremely sweet, caramel-vanilla-banana milkshake territory, great for beginners but lacking the depth rum enthusiasts seek. Some adore it as a fun-for-your-buck pour; purists pan the added sugar. Polarizing but commercially popular.

Reviews

One of a kind!

"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."

Hazen (5/5)

Effortless enough for women

"On the rocks is a safe way to consume this rum. Similar to O. J. in smoothness Protection squad! No chaser is required for ladies shots that are this smooth. I'm not saying that women can't take the juice; I'm just saying that this rum is polite—hold the door open polite—and your folks adore him."

Pierson D. (5/5)

I currently only consume one type of rum.

"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."

It's decent but a little too sweet.

"This rum is decent; it has a lot of sweetness without any kick. My personal preference is for the black bottle variety, but I find it odd that the firm felt the need to use "rappers" to advertise a fine rum. In any case, if you want to start getting your woman into running, here is a good place to start. If you sip this soft candy, you won't be getting anywhere near becoming a pirate. I would much rather be a pirate."

An Overview of Rum

"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!"

Cory A. (5/5)

Enticing Characteristics

"Simple to consume on the rocks. Banana and vanilla are both smooth flavors. Discreet hints of mango, papaya, coffee, and chocolate. Even with a very tiny burn at the finish, drinking it is enjoyable. You must spend for this."

Ryellan (4/5)

Exceptional but not "traditional"

"If you don't like sweet drinks, like those made with crown royal vanilla, try Bumbu Rum,  After testing it, everyone I've given the product to has purchased one for themselves. With notes of cherry, banana, cherry, vanilla, caramel, and maple, it tastes just as good as it smells. It has fire."

Arielle G. (5/5)

OMG it is dangerous!

"I received a bottle as a Christmas present from a buddy. I opened it beside a companion who had never tried it before. On ice, where we first tried it, we had amazing success. We then filled one with Sprite and declared it to be rather tasty. The last one we combined with a splash of Dr. Pepper was dangerous, OMG. We destroyed the bottle that day and have since gone through numerous more."

Ivanka6 (5/5)

While not strictly Rum, this is still awesome. . .

"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."

Zo D. (4/5)

Absolute favorite rum!

"It isn't your typical rum because it has flavors of banana and caramel and is on the sweeter side. It is ideal for drinking on the rocks or cocktails. For my own taste, I enjoy sipping it on the rocks. Without a doubt, I endorse this!"
