Review by Frank
Interesting fresh, green, fruity, almost floral nose: unripe green papaya and still green plantain with green apple. Sweetness of honeycomb and sugar syrup. Above that, a light scent of rose water. Behind that hides some vanilla and mace.Surprisingly different on the palate: blatant licorice, and that soft sweet malty Danish licorice. There's also molasses, licorice, baking spice and some toffee. Also seems somehow chocolaty.In the finish remains this malty and spicy licorice note.The alcohol is very well integrated.Pleases me overall quite well and is something different.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Too much licorice, not my thing. Poorly integrated alcohol.
Review by Rare Akuma
On pour I could not get anything else than some unaged PM notes coupled with damp moss and ethanol. However luckily enough the smell developped over the next 45+ minutes into something more, something elegant yet powerful. Top notes of coconut water and husks, some apple slices and waves of chewy toffee. Cherry wood chips, with sparse spices. A display of dusty rocks, must and petrichor, followed by green tea. On the palate quite the surprise. Immediately more toffee and coconut, but this time together with both red and green parts of rhubarb. Again cherry wood chips, but the spice is much more present, especially salt. Raw nuts and a synthetic flavour which I can’t really put my finger on. Damp and lightly vegetal with green olives eventually ending in a bouquet of flowers. The finish is medium in length. Heavily salted, raw nuts, some glazed coconut chunks and stewed rhubarb. My expectations were very low after reading some reviews, but this positively surprised me. I suspect some reviewers simply did not let it breathe enough, as it took almost an hour to open up.
Review by Dominik Marwede
Sorry, but this is not drinkable. It could also be a xpopular spirit of a South Georgian miner who has never known pre-middle and post-middle and who has co-distilled the blond mane of his favorite pony 🤷.
Review by Adrien B
Nez assez nul. Mais Bouche qui surprend chocolat noir, cacao épicé bien puissant
Review by Jonas
Phew, no thanks. Disappointment in the glass. There is not much happening except alcohol with vanilla. Methinks the quality did not matter, the main thing is that you can slap LBI on it.
Review by gali jo
Lors de l'ouverture de la bouteille rhum peu expressif et décevant mais quelques mois après le changement est radical, au nez chocolat au lait gourmand, fruits juteux et acidulés, en bouche alcool correctement intégré, même notes en bouche avec un léger boisé, mais reste malgré tout trop jeune encore Finale courte légèrement amère
Review by DutchRumPirate
I don’t like it very much. Not my taste.
Review by chu guevara
Je l'ai trouvé très complexe et evolutif à tous niveaux, nez, bouche et finale. Malgré les nombreuses critiques, je ne le trouve pas si agressif ni si ''jeune'', je pense que le couleur trompe.
Review by Jacques etdom
Alcool très mal intégré, piètre qualité à ce prix, je préfère boire un verre d eau....à fuir
Review by Jakob
Has virtually zero in common with the famous representative of Velier, which is not least due to the almost imperceptible maturation. Unfortunately, the alcohol content is also still clearly noticeable even after more than two hours in the glass. With the LBI Marque, of course, high expectations are aroused, but even apart from that, the impression remains with me that here a distillate has found its way into the bottle, which would have done very well with a few more years of maturation.
Review by DomM
Classic Guyana Savalle notes are clearly noticeable. However, the bottling feels not quite ready… the batch should definitely get some more time in the casks - looking forward to the future results :)
Review by Righrum
Better than nobilis selection, it actually opens up only after a long time (thanks to the community for the suggestion), even if the alcohol is still not very well integrated. White chocolate, chestnut honey and some spices, with a better alcohol integration could have been in the 80-85 range
Review by Thunderbird
The Bonne Intention is too immature for me from the nose to the finish... The nose is still halfway acceptable, then on the palate the first disappointment, the alcohol is poorly integrated and dominates the flavors even after taming the same. These are definitely present, but of the dark spicy variety, as is the finish. This rum is so not at all mine
Review by Johannes
The nose is quite atypical for a Guyana-almost reminds me of an Agricole. On the palate young citrus, vanilla, alcohol not well integrated. Overall, it seems too young.
