Schmeckt leider fast nur noch nach Cognac und auch eher nach jungem VS cognac als nach XO Cognac... Savanna würde ich hier blind nicht raus schmecken auch wenn's ein Agricole ist. Find ich ziemlich langweilig ehrlich und enttäuschend gesagt🤷🏼♂️
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 2 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, roasted, citrus, sweet, light apple. Palate Round, fresh, raisin, light apple, light wood, light roasted, medium dry, faint tannins. Finish Medium long, round, wood, light tannins, citrus, light apple, faint honey. Extra note. Light and ABV pretty well integrated.
Un Savanna pur jus de canne qui débute avec un nez sauvage et agricole, constitué de canne et de notes herbacées qui s’accordent avec le fût de cognac, le raisin et les épices. Si certains arômes évoquent la douceur (miel) l’arôme de foin prend peu à peu le dessus. C’est un profil élaboré mais un peu envahissant si on aime pas les notes végétales. L’attaque en bouche reprend les codes du nez, avec une forte intensité sur les épices, le côté sec voir tannique, l’alcool et les fruits, ces derniers étant relativement discrets. On relève une amertume sur le foin et des notes végétales très présentes avec l’aération. L’alcool aurait pu être mieux intégré. La finale est de longueur correcte, sans fortiori, mais sans grande surprise. Le foin et les herbes aromatiques ont eu raison des épices et du boisé, éclipsés comme les fruits par cette amertume, ces tanins et le côté sec apporté par le fût de cognac. Un rhum cohérent et linéaire, mais qui manque un peu de d’extravagance.
Solid rum, but overall not expressive enough for me. I like it thanks to its well-rounded profile - but that's also where the criticism begins, because unfortunately I find the moments of tension and complexity a little lacking here - a "problem" that I often encounter with Savanna's Traditionelles. But this is also not my subjectively preferred rum style.
