Guyana Savalle fans who don't mind a project bottle should read on. This cask-strength LBI throws licorice, molasses, toffee and dark chocolate, with a green, almost agricole-like fruit lift up top. The catch runs through nearly every review: the alcohol sits proud and it tastes young. Give it a solid hour in the glass and it opens up — several tasters flipped their opinion after letting it breathe.
The community says- Licorice & dark cocoa
- Opens with air

How does La Bonne Intention The Nectar Of The Daily Drams LBI 2012 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Young, spicy Guyana that needs air to open Most land on "good, not top Guyana": interesting, spicy and chocolatey, but the hot, unintegrated alcohol and young feel keep it from higher marks. Breathing time helps a lot.

Starkes Dingen, gefällt mir echt gut, zwar kein Top Guyana, aber trotzdem sehr lecker. Wir haben hier auf jeden Fall ne Menge Kaffee, sowie auch dunkle Schokolade, neben etwas Karamell und auch Vanille...

Too much licorice, not my thing. Poorly integrated alcohol.
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 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 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 Christian Rudt
Insgesamt etwas zu alkoholisch was hier den Genuss doch etwas trübt. Der RumX lebt ansonsten deutlich von seinem würzigen Profil. Frucht kommt eher ergänzend dazu. Bringt auch einige Süße mit sich was den Rum nicht unspannend macht
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰

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 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 Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2012. With 8.4 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
After reading some community reviews about this rum, i decided to let this rum sit in the glass for ~1.5 hours before tasting it. On the nose: Young wood, spicy/baking spices and vanilla dominate. I get hints of fruits like papaya and green apple juice. Little bit of sweetness from toffee. Something isnt right on the nosing palate even after sitting long time in the glass, its a bit alcoholic and unbalanced. Taste: Licorice notes at first and that is the dominating note that i get from this rum. Spices and molasses on the background. Dry, a little bit of creamy mouthfell. The abv could be integrated better. Finish: Licorice, dry. Little bit of spices and caramel in there. Medium finish. Not as bad as i expected based on the previous reviews and the licorice notes didnt bother me at all, but it certainly feel unfinished product based on nosing and the alcohol integration.
Review by gali jo
At bottle opening, the rum was not expressive and disappointing but a few months later the change is radical, on the nose indulgent milk chocolate, juicy and tangy fruits, on the palate alcohol well integrated, same notes on the palate with a slight woodiness, but still too young overall. Short slightly bitter finish.
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 Adrien B
Quite a bad nose. But the palate surprises with dark chocolate, spicy cocoa very powerful
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.
Review by chu guevara
I found it very complex and evolving on all levels, nose, palate and finish. Despite the many criticisms, I don't find it so aggressive nor so 'young', I think the color is misleading.
Review by Oliver
I would not have blindly put in Guyana. Rather direction Cuba in barrel strength. Interesting, but for me a bit too wild and sharp-edged. No comparison to his legendary brother from Velier.
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 Loïc V.
Rum tasting at The Drifter (Ghent, Belgium) Nose : Vanilla, rounded, woody, coconut Taste : Toffee, wood and some fruits, coconut Finish : Quite short, more toffee, salty licorice and wood Quite enjoyable but not my favorite
Review by Martin Švojgr
Taste-wise floral, volatile, didn't really appeal to me.
Review by Filip Šikula
Fillings from Nektar always raise big expectations in me. So let's get to it. In the nose, I sensed sweetness, coconut, and some fruity syrup. On sipping, these sweet tones are intense, but the alcohol still needed to calm down.
Review by Richard Krupa
Less pronounced nose, in taste light pungency and citrus.
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
My first taste of La Nonne Intention, Crazy profile... 10 years of aging with the color of Prosecco... nose and palate are peanuts and milk chocolate, unpleasant and unblended tip of wood, alcohol and a butyric acid... really strange
Review by ElReyTristan
Rum very typical of solvent like White Spirit and fruit alcohol style grappa. On the palate notes of licorice stick, cedar and smoked meat. The finish is spicy and slightly salty.
Review by Stijn
Probably released too soon, but shows potential. Needs lot of breathing time to open up. Chocolate and praline notes dominate all the way. Lacks some complexity for me and finish is too short. But interesting nonetheless, just don't pay and expect too much.
Review by DutchRumPirate
I don’t like it very much. Not my taste.
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 Jacques etdom
Alcohol very poorly integrated, poor quality at this price, I'd rather drink a glass of water.... avoid.
