Savanna Traditional 5-Year

Savanna is an interesting distillery from La Reunion in that they make rums both from molasses and from cane juice. This is one of their rum traditionnels meaning molasses based and they clearly know what they are doing in this art. The nose is quite subtle apart from a hint of vanilla and a complete absence of alcohol smell. In the mouth it is incredibly smooth to sip and the vanilla carries through to greater expression. Slight and subtle tropical fruits can be gleaned but the most impressive thing is just how well all the flavors turn in on themselves to join an incredibly integrated whole. Practically no alcohol burn whatsoever and with an aftertaste length that is about par for the course. But the takeaway here is that this is a highly agreeable sipper with very well integrated flavors. Well done and particularly recommended to those seeking a gentlemanly rum.

The label of the sample bottle was very promising and I trusted I was up for a nice treat. Reality was different. I thought I tasted some apples but was not so sure. Could not find this sippable. Based on tasting a 2cl sample.

Another first. Smells like apple cider...tastes like apple cider... and finishes with a hint of black pepper. Would drink again and try their other offerings. Makes me want to go to reunion island.

Another sample, another bad rum. This is one of the worst I've ever drank

Smells a bit of nail polish removers. Citrusy on the palette. Faint caramel and hazelnut. No heat more of a warm finish on the back of the tongue.

Let syrlig, det smager udmærket – fadet træder nok mere frem end de gæringsbårne elementer. Det er ikke vildt godt og heller ikke særlig interessant.

Smooth and spicy, very pleasant nose. Not alcoholic as many others write. Like the taste but the burn ruins it...unfortunately.

Nice fruit smell. Taste strong, but pleasant. I can imagine buy a bottle.

Butter on pastry and harsh aroma, sweet start, caramel, butterscotch spices in the body (masala, cinnamon); smooth tail.
