How does this rum taste?
Reviewers are most drawn to the sweet and honeyed profile of this cask-strength Savanna, frequently mentioning honeycomb, dried fruits, and creamy vanilla-caramel on both the nose and palate. Many enjoy how the wine cask finish adds fruity smoothness, making it approachable for sipping neat or at tastings with friends. While not a textbook Grand Arôme, it stands out as a unique and pleasant Reunion release worth exploring for its balance of sweet and spicy flavors.

Second tasting: I have corrected my rating by -5 points because this bottling is not representative of the style "Grande Arome". The rum is still good but does not offer the typical spectacle for Grande Arome.nose: very present alcohol, I feel already as "pungent", no typical Grand Arome notes! Instead, influence of the wine barrel (sweet wine?)Palate: again sweetness and strong alcoholic presence, spicy notes, cocoa and barrel are added. No typical Savanna flavors like strawberry, gummy bear or Hubbabubba bubble gum but the wine barrel can be guessed.Finish: Not typical of a Grande Arome, the wine barrel has made the rum very balanced. Very good rum but not to be compared with a classic Grande Arome.
Super smooth savanna. Almost too smooth 😂 Strawberry, menthol, cinnamon (big red chewing gum) and green apple, complemented by light red wine notes without being too dominant. Legga stöffche! Unusually sweet even beyond that.
#4718 04.05.2024 Had a nice exclusive tasting at Romdeluxe with our little rum group. Nose Fresh, fruity, solvent, pineapple, ester, faint chocolate, light mint. Palate Medium dry, light wood, light roasted, dried fruit, ester, fruity, light cherry. Finish Medium long, warm, medium dry, pineapple, light roasted wood, spice.
Very disappointing! Unfortunately, nothing remains of the alleged Grand Arome. The red wine barrel completely crushes the original distillate. Too bad!
