    How does this rum taste?

    • Fruity and complex aroma
    • Balanced sweet and woody palate
    • Subtle, refined port influence

    The "Intense Port Finish" Rum from Savanna Distillery in Reunion offers a unique profile crafted from molasses, distilled via column still, and matured for 15 years. With an ABV of 46%, it melds fruity, vegetal, earthy, and woody aromas. Tasting notes reveal layers of sweetness, barrel influence, roasted caramel, and vegetal undertones, with a subtle port influence. This limited release, consisting of only 1,190 bottles, is often described as an easy sipper, though some feel it could benefit from a higher proof. While cherry, roasted, and spicy nuances are appreciated, opinions on the finish's depth and length vary, with some noting room for more pronounced port character and complexity.

    "Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili."

    "Port Cask hat seine süßen Spuren hinterlassen. Rote Früchte, Rosinen, das Ganze harmoniert mal mehr, mal weniger mit dem Grande Aroma Profil. Ein paar Prozente hätten dem Rum gut getan. Unter dem Strich ein easy Sipper für diejenigen, die auf eher süßere - ungezuckerte - Rums stehen."
