Romdeluxe Savanna Collectors Series La Reunion No. 7 Grand Arôme 2013 8yr 55,6%

Complex, fruity, chocolate, but lacks ester punch.

The La Reunion No. 7 offers a complex mix of marmalade and chocolate flavors, with notable wood and spice undertones, yet somewhat lacks Grand Arôme's ester richness.



How does this rum taste?

  • Complex aroma profile
  • Rich chocolate flavor
  • Unique cask influence

Collectors Series La Reunion No. 7 Grand Arôme is produced by Savanna distillery, renowned for its complex profile crafted from sugar cane juice using a Savalle Still. Aged 8 years and bottled at cask strength with 55.6% ABV, it is a limited edition with only 304 bottles. Users describe it as a vibrant blend of marmalade, chocolate, and oaky spice aromas and flavors. Critically, while its robust character is praised, some find it lacking the expected ester intensity of Grand Arôme. Its layered palate alternates between appealing fruitiness and pronounced wood influence, making it a distinctive choice for rum enthusiasts.

"#4453 05.11.2023 just came back after visiting a former colleague and he offered a few rums to try. I only have notes because I came unprepared 😊 This one needed to rest for a while to take off the edges. Nose: fruity, roasted wood, cinnamon and a touch of coconut. Palate: roasted wood, fruity, raisin, caramel and light chocolate. Finish: medium to long with oily touch. Fruity with some chocolate and spices. The empty glass hasld some light vegetal and solvent notes."

"Deviates from the known profile of the Grand Aromes from La Reunion but quite clear. May be partly due to the barrel influence, but the usual DNA with overripe strawberries and mint is completely missing here. Instead, the already mentioned wood notes come to bear paired with clear spice and fruit esters, which show themselves for a Grand Arome but comparatively subliminal. The rum leaves me somewhat perplexed - the wood and spice impact is too clear to me, from Grand Aromes I expect even more estery explosion."

"Light nose Very pleasant on entry, with pep (cola? orange?). Moves on to caramel, then gives way to bitterness (white citrus, burnt caramel). Burnt caramel finish, a little too bitter for me."
