Vagabond Spirits Bonne Mère Harmony (Multi Verres Spirits Lyon) 2025
The surprise here is how much it drinks like a crisp white wine — the Jurançon cask leaves a Sauvignon Blanc lift over papaya, passion fruit and kiwi, then a real hit of fresh mint. Several tasters clock olive and salt too. It's a young Guadeloupe molasses rum that people either love for its exuberant fruit or find genuinely odd.

A rum tasted at the GRF in 2025. Great discoveries at the Vagabond Spirits booth, including this rum from Guadeloupe. A fruity nose with tropical fruits, a vegetal and fermented side with wood support. A kind of natural sweetness reminds me that the finish was done in Jurançon casks. The first sip is slightly watery but immediately after the aromas intensify, then the bitterness of the wood develops, slightly masking the fruits. The finish is also marked by this woody bitterness, which costs a few points here. Otherwise, a very nice rum.

I feel that's the kind of rum which one will either love or hate. That's more on the hate side for me unfortunately. The nose is very fruity, peach, tropical fruit. The mouth... It's where there's something odd. It's certainly fruity again but there's something I cannot name that bothers me. The finish is long but with this aftertaste I'm not a big fan of.

#6763 08.05.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after getting back from the Pub meeting up with a few of my old coleagues. Watching friends on HBO with my wife. Price to quality you get a lot for your money here and it also does pretty well in a cola. A fruity rum with nice mint, herbs and light roasted wood.
Review by Mirco
Junger Guadeloupe Rum mit einfachem, recht direktem Profil. In der Nase Zuckerrohr, etwas Frucht und eine leichte Würze. Am Gaumen frisch, leicht grasig und würzig mit wenig Tiefe. Wirkt sauber, aber noch ziemlich unreif und etwas dünn im Ausdruck. Ganz ok, aber nichts, das groß hängen bleibt.
Review by Julien Ries
The nose greets us with something extremely fruity, and we're struck by the immediate presence of Jurançon. In addition to this mellow wine, there are fresh fragrances and a wave of exotic fruit: passion fruit, yellow kiwi and, above all, a fruit I had the pleasure of tasting in Martinique: the quenette. It's like biting into a Tutti Frutti tart, with the acidity of fresh redcurrants. With a little rest, this nose becomes more complex, with a light woodiness and a hint of papaya. But what lurks in the background, and I'll come back to this in a few lines, is a touch of menthol and some herbaceous notes. On the palate, the fruitiness is even more incredible than on the nose. Hints of tangy red fruit and ripe maracuja. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, and we give it 10° less on the tongue. But what's staggering after a minute or two is how the palate is flooded with fresh mint, and then I say to myself: "Damn! But it's like a TDL!" Blind, I wouldn't be able to discern a big difference between this keel and a very good rum from Trinidad Distillers Limited. A very pleasant surprise given that TDL is one of my favorite distilleries in the rum world. The only difference between this rum and the Spirit Gallery TDL is the greater complexity, length and opulence in favor of the TDL. The finish is reminiscent of sweet yellow wine. The finish is moderately long. The menthol fades in favor of the exotic fruitiness, which lingers in the throat for quite some time.
Review by zabo
Erstmal danke an MrRumantic, dass er gleich nach dem Kauf die Flasche geköpft hat bzw köpfen hat lassen vom Barkeeper im Hotel. Leider hat mich diese "exotisch pfiffige" Abfüllung leider nicht abgeholt. Ist einfach nicht mein Geschmack.
Review by Chrischi78
Als erstes muss man ja den Preis mal betrachten und damit ist dieser Knabe doch sensationell. Schöner Rum, der in der wunderbaren Sonne des Altweibersommers genossen, mein Herz höher schlagen lässt! Top
Review by Johannes
Sehr speziell, leider nicht mein Geschmack. Fruchtig, aber auch Olive, Salz, Gras.
Review by Skyfly
Messebewertung: war nicht im Fokus, etablierte sich aber als mein persönlicher PLV-Kracher der Messe. Super viele Früchte, etwas Holz und der Weinfasseinfluss machen diesen Rum zu einem geilen Easy-Sipper
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Bonus from the end-of-year lineup: Vagabond Spirits – Bonne Mère 3Y (52%) Gaetan had a little surprise for us to close out the year: a rum from the Bonne Mère distillery (Guadeloupe), aged 3 years on site then 3 months in a Jurançon late harvest barrel – Domaine Lajibe. Reduced to 52% in a limited edition for the Multi Verres Spirits Lyon fair. And here... I have to say I don’t really get the general enthusiasm. 😅 It’s clearly a rum that divides people: you either love it or hate it. For me, it’s more the second option. 👉 A very special profile: fruity, yes, but also olive, salt, herbs, and a palate... disturbing 🤨 There’s really something that bothers me — and it just doesn’t work at all. After the X samples and the TCRL, you could say I’m unlucky with this distillery... never two without three 😂 ❗️That said, we also have to salute: the nice 7th place of Vagabond Spirits in the RumX Top 10 best independent bottlers 🏆 👌 their always super stylish labels and this bold finish, once again a real experiment Even if it’s not my thing, you have to admit the release finds its audience when you see the feedback from other tastings.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unfassbar geile Nase wie bei einem richtig guten Sauvignon Blanc oder Chardonnay. Stachelbeere, Passionsfrucht, Papaya und etwas Minze, sowie junges Holz und florale Noten verbinden sich hier auf höchst spannende Weise. Sehr cooles Finish! Plus Punkte für die phänomenale Nase!
Review by JohnnyCuenta
A touch of Mei Kuei Lu, the rose digestif that concludes every Chinese restaurant. Original, but definitely not my thing.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ich muss sagen dieser Rum hat mich auch etwas begeistert. Sehr viel Frucht in der Nase, überwiegend tropische Früchte, aber auch etwas Wein. Am Gaumen ebenfalls, ist er hier aber auch noch recht frisch und floral.
Review by TheJackDrop
Dégusté au salon Multi Verres Spirits à Lyon en février 2025 : superbe ! Tout dans les fruits exotiques, la papaye. C’est très exubérant, gras, avec une très belle texture. Sympa cette mélasse qui change et sort du lot.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Wine cask influence is present. Fruity, vegetal, slightly fermented, light wood notes. Lovely on the nose. Taste: Fresh with wine cask notes. Fruity notes. Then you get vegetal and minty notes. Quite sweet, but feels naturally sweet. Light menthol notes in the background. Abv integration is very good. Finish:Minty, wine and light menthol notes. Some red fruit notes and light woody notes. Medium finish. Interesting cask selection and its pretty good rum especially for the price. A rum for wine drinkers.
Review by Eric Frechin
The nose is very flattering, dominated by an exotic fruity freshness, but also sweeter, fattier flavors like flambéed banana. On the palate, the fruit is still very present, with a more acidic facet like maracuja and a vinous side too, confirming the contribution of the cask, before giving way to a minty freshness. In conclusion, this is a rather young rum, only 3 years old, but it already has incredible character. I really like it and have ordered a bottle.
Review by Master P
Mango, Passionsfrucht, süße, reife tropische Früchte, Oliven, leicht alkoholisch, ein wenig wie gelbe Pflaumen, ein Hauch von Kiwi, im Geschmack leicht scharf, etwas wie Oliven, salzig, Früchte, Alkohol wärmt leicht. Schon etwas speziel aber lecker. Nase erinnert mich ein wenig an Agricole, einwenig verwirrend. PVL top.
