Aroma visualization from community tastings
TCRL Bonne Mère Guadeloupe 2014
Despite the Guadeloupe address, this drinks like a molasses rum, not the grassy agricole you might expect. It's light and quiet: citrus and apple on the nose, then a soft palate of licorice, honey and a little dried fruit. At 43% and only four years old it stays gentle, with a short finish. Easy to sip, but several tasters found it a touch thin.

Absolutely great value for money
Review by MarcT
Very light in taste, color and smell. Citrus is quite distinct in the nose, not so dominant to the taste. One can easily sip it by itself or along to snacks, as it demands not much attention to itself. Quite short aftertaste.

Nez sympa,mais en bouche c est plutôt moins bien! En bouche pâtisseries et peu de fruits et surtout un goût légèrement fumé. La fin est courte et sur les épices et pâtisseries. Bon franchement, pour moi, c est pas un grand rhum, mais ça se sirote.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est très discret, trop même. On retrouve quelques notes d’agrumes, de boisé et de sucre brun. Je dirai même que c’est un rhum de mélasse … En bouche c’est doux, avec un profil herbacé, des notes de réglisses et de miel (ce qui confirme la mélasse). La finale est très courte sur du léger boisé. L’ensemble est beaucoup trop insipide et jeune pour mériter un embouteillage tel quel. Après les beaux Martiniquais et avant de passer à la mélasse, il n’avait pas sa place là dans la line up! Il aura eu le mérite de nous avoir rincé les papilles avant la suite de la dégustation …

Well-rounded and nicely fruity and spicy! but also not a high-flyer due to the low alcohol strength...
