Bonne Mère DBM Rhum VO Cuvée Elvira
Most tasters land on the same read: a young Guadeloupe agricole that drinks softer and woodier than expected, with pear, banana, butterscotch and a light fruity sweetness. Several call it a surprisingly gentle daily sipper, and a few reach for ti punch. The catch shows up on the finish — plenty note it runs short, and one found a smoky aftertaste that didn't sit right.
The community says- Soft and fruity
- Easy to drink
- Short finish

Soft, woody young agricole with short finish Most find it easy, woody and fruity with a soft sweetness rare for a young agricole. The common gripe is a short finish; one taster hit an off smoky note.

#5754 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. Despite this being a low ABV rum it still carries a lot of flavours. Light wood in good balance with the spices, caramel and pear notes.
Review by Air-one
Le rhum DBO VO cuvée Elvira est une belle découverte. Le rapport qualité/prix est excellent. Au nez, on est directement sur du fruit tropical légèrement boisé. Au goût le fruité et le boisé sont également dominants. La finale moyenne à longue, est dans la même veine que le début de dégustation.
Review by TheJackDrop
Dégusté au Rhum Fest Paris, notes à compléter. Un VO à 35€ qui semble imbattable, j'avoue que j'aurai pu me confondre avec un petit Rivière du Mat 6-8 ans. Une belle mélasse bien fruitée, du caramel au beurre, un côté abricot et boisé "poli" qui m'avait fait penser à La Réunion. Super découverte, un must-have pour les débutants.

Étonnant pour un jeune rhum, doux fruité
Review by Patrick 79
Je me faisais une joie de le déguster à la lecture des avis et commentaires mais quelle déception. Bien loin de ce que j'aime, je ne m'attendais pas à cela. Un arrière goût fumé pas très agréable et au final assez peu de longueur à mon goût.
