Enrichment of our general culture and more specifically "rum" - Visit commented by Arnaud; very professional and pedagogue, his presentation was very dynamic and illustrated with concrete and playful examples. A big BRAVO for his skills, a real happiness during this discovery of the Distillery Good Mother. One suggestion: during the visit to the shop, after Arnaud’s explanations, our purchase for a gift was for a bottle XO - number 1709. Wouldn’t it be wise to carry out and implement a digitization of the bottles (barcode) and adequate storage in the shop’s displays? your employees could immediately inform on the availability of the number sought and its location! And or its presence in stock.... Digital rationalization during production, speed availability information, stock management, etc. Ease of customer choice. THANK YOU again to Arnaud with a great commercial and human sense with a remarkable wealth of vocabulary. Good Success to the entire DBM Team Nicole and Jean-Pierre - NIMES

Excellent tasting - I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the visit to the rum distillery I had recently. Arnaud, our guide, made the experience unforgettable. He brilliantly explained the history of the distillery and guided us through all stages of rum production, from molasses to fermentation and then distillation. What I particularly appreciated was that he took the time to interview us regularly to make sure we understood every detail. The tasting was simply fantastic. Arnaud explained the different steps in detail: the dress, tears, aromas and flavours of each rum. It was a fascinating educational experience. I highly recommend this visit, even to those who are not particularly fond of rum, as the learning is well worth it.❤️

SUPERB DISCOVERY - Arnaud is an exceptional guide. Interactive and exciting tour. 1h30 during which we walk, let's hitchhike. Suitable for everyone, child, strollers, elderly, reduced mobility etc. The site is very well maintained and clean. The guide's got a wire on him, so everybody hears. I booked my tickets directly on the internet but you can also buy them on site. The end tasting is exceptional and it is a real moment of sharing and conviviality. The rum is quality, the shop brand new. I highly recommend it. Sandrine

Very interesting!! I recommend!! - Very nice visit, we understood everything about rum and learned lots of interesting things. Small group tour (10-12) which is very appreciable, the guide is top and makes us interact with him a lot. Then comes the long awaited moment of tasting which is exciting and passing by the shop to bring back a nice bottle of rum with a quite decent price!! In short, a very good time at DBM that I highly recommend!!

Visit the distillery and tasting at the top - The arrival and entry to the distillery site is a little surprising but as soon as you enter, you are taken care of by the teams in charge of visitors. The visit is complete and very well comented. The tasting is very good too.

Special rum because made from molasses! - Great visit with Arnaud. Lots of information to share. He doesn't hesitate to share. Interesting tasting. I've learned a lot. I had already made another Distillery but this one is different because they make rum from molasses! What to do
