TCRL Bonne Mère Guadeloupe #16 2013
"Very delicious daily driver" is how one member sums this Guadeloupe agricole up, and that fits. Toasted banana runs nose to finish, alongside light smoky chamomile, squashed grapes and a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Several call it elegant and light, almost like an aged gin. The one knock: a few taste the dilution and wish it sat higher than 43%.
- Toasted banana
- Light, elegant

How does TCRL Bonne Mère Guadeloupe #16 2013 taste?
Aggregated from 31 community reviews.
Light, banana-led everyday agricole Most find it a light, easy agricole with toasted banana, chamomile and gentle smoke. Pleasant and fairly priced, though a couple feel the 43% leaves it thin and underpowered.

Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Good rum, but it still lacks something to go up.
Review by Galli33
I tried this one in a bar in Posen. Very delicious daily driver!
Review by Vincent D
A very surprising Guadeloupean, with a profile that stands out from the usual pure Guadeloupean juices. A little fruity candy with cinnamon. With a very creamy Werther's Original texture. Nice. Easy. Pleasant.

Candied orange, papaya, egg liquor, vanilla, banana and caster sugar.
Review by Rare Akuma
Straightforward agricole notes on the nose. Immediately you get fresh and toasted banana that will persist all the way to the finish, as well as very nice lightly smoky chamomile tea. The nose is rounded off by some squashed grapes, salty seawater and woody juniper berries. The palate is very much alike. Again toasted banana and the chamomile with some sweet, juicy apples mixed in. It’s all very elegant and light. Almost like an aged gin. Quite interesting to see the smoky wood notes sourced from juniper and chamomile. Unfortunately you can taste the overdilution. It’s a lovely rum, that would have been much stronger at higher ABV.

Wirkt etwas dünn. Geschmacklich dadurch etwas nichtssagend.

"Oh well these transcontinental rum line runs, especially the early iterations, really know how to hit the marque for what they cost. This one is really what I want from a cheapish Guadeloupe rum. Very solid"
