Reunion

Reunion — volcanic terroir, high-ester icons and premium rum from Reunion

Volcanic island terroir
High-ester Grand Arôme
Cane-juice and molasses

On La Réunion, sugarcane thrives on volcanic slopes and ocean-breezed plains, yielding distinctive styles of Reunion rum. From fragrant cane-juice agricoles to long-fermented Grand Arôme powerhouses, the island’s tropical maturation sculpts bold fruit, spice and finesse. The RumX community has logged 8,154 reviews with a strong 8.2/10 median, and 570 expressions to explore.

Fans praise Savanna’s HERR and Grand Arôme for red-berry funk, tropical fruit and olive brine, while Isautier and Rivière du Mât bring elegance and spice. Charrette remains a local staple and gateway to the island’s “rhum arrangé” culture. Curious about rum from Reunion and its signature intensity? You’re in the right place.

RumX users describe Réunion as a paradise for high-ester lovers and balanced sippers alike. HERR and Grand Arôme releases burst with strawberries, pineapple, esters and briny olives, great neat or in Daiquiris. Blends like L’Absolu are praised for harmony, while approachable bottlings (e.g., Le Must) can feel light for some. Overall sentiment is enthusiastic, reflected in a healthy 8.2/10 median across hundreds of reviews.
