    How does this rum taste?

    • fresh, round, light, wood, roasted
    • Schöner Einsteigerrum
    • good entry-level and young wood

    This Savanna rum leans into young wood, pineapple, vanilla and spice, with most members finding it light and round but not particularly expressive. Notes of pine, citrus and herbs occasionally show up, but as Tim says, it’s “eher dĂŒnn” while Kevin Sorensen đŸ‡©đŸ‡° calls it “fresh, round, light, wood, roasted.” For most, the profile balances gentle fruitiness with dominant oak, better suited as a casual sipper or mixer rather than for deep exploration. Caramel emerges if you let it sit, as HenryL points out, and while some wish for more punch, they still gladly offer it up as an accessible starting point.

    "Also dies ist einer der schlechteren Savannas, noch in Ordnung aber kein Vergleich zu dem meisten anderen AbfĂŒllungen. Fruchtig (Ananas) und holzig in der Nase. Am Gaumen fruchtig (Ananas), wĂŒrzig (Vanille) und holzig"

    "Nice dry wood note. Good starter. Decent PLV. Quite thin with the 43%,"

    "Savanna is really an up and down one for me. The can do great, but there is the other side of sometimes utter mediocrity. I really think they are on to something here, eventhough i am not the intended audience. And to reach a level of for example hampden estate 46% this needs more. But hopefully we will get there!"
