Romdeluxe Savanna Collectors Series La Reunion No. 7 Grand Arôme
Sweet, honey-driven Savanna with soft wood and wine undertones.
RumX feedback points to a honeyed, wine-influenced spirit, but not a classic Grand Arôme. One to try if you’re curious how barrel and finish can temper Reunion power.

How does this rum taste?
Savanna’s Grand Arôme gets a mellow twist in this Romdeluxe Collector’s Series La Reunion No. 7. RumX tasters consistently find sweet honey, honeycomb, and dried fruit at the core, buoyed by wood, spice, and menthol. Several mention the wine finish shaping the aroma, and the sweetness - “die 🐝 fleißig” notes Christian Rudt, with a “super smoother Savanna” vibe according to crazyforgoodbooze. The Grand Arôme identity splits opinion: for some it’s too subtle, for others it’s unusually approachable, with “viel Holz und Gewürze” and not the full-on estery punch expected.

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!
