"14.05.2022 Had a nice meet up with some nice rums, good friends and also new rum enthusiasts. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, fresh, faint wood, faint smoke, fruity, berries, light pineapple, faint chocolate. Palate Oily, intense, medium spicy, light chocolate, berries, light pineapple, spices, light olive. Finish Long and warm, light olive, light roasted wood, faint salty, light pineapple. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will overshadow all the nice flavours."
"Solid Savanna representative with nice fruit esters, mint tea, heavy and compact sourness, some olive and wood - nice bottling."
"Un Savanna dopĂ© Ă la testostĂ©rone avec une forte concentration aromatique. Le nez est assez frappant, avec un fruitĂ© trĂšs prĂ©sent sur les fruits exotiques et les fruits rouges mais aussi trĂšs mĂ»rs et fermentĂ©s, on ressent presque des effluves de vinaigre. Les notes Ă©picĂ©es accompagnent ce cĂŽtĂ© plus vif qui pique les narines. Les arĂŽmes mĂ©dicinaux sont fermes et les notes florales et herbacĂ©es un peu plus prĂ©sentes. Lâalcool ressort davantage avec le fĂ»t. Un Savanna plutĂŽt bestiale qui nĂ©cessite pas mal dâaĂ©ration. Lâattaque en bouche est assez virulente. Le cĂŽtĂ© pimentĂ© ressort de prime abord, puis les fruits tropicaux et la fraise de tiennent en embuscade, accompagnĂ©s par les esters. Le boisĂ© rĂŽti et les notes herbacĂ©es (thĂ©) finalisent un profil sec, puissant, voir un peu rustre. Pour le coup, la rĂ©duction sur le Grand Ătant Sec fait la diffĂ©rence ici. La finale est longue, imprĂ©gnĂ©e des notes fruitĂ©es typiques du Grand ArĂŽme (fruits exotiques, fraise) et des notes plus rĂŽties, boisĂ©es et herbacĂ©es qui donnent une certaine amertume. Les Ă©pices, les tanins et les notes mĂ©dicinales sont aussi prĂ©sentes dans ce melting pot aromatique. En comparaison avec le Grand Etang Sec, câest un Savanna savoureux, nettement plus puissant mais qui montre Ă ses dĂ©pends que la rĂ©duction peut sâavĂ©rer utile dans certains cas."
"The run has the same barrel number as the Savanna Reunion The Wild Island Edition - Grand étang sec 2006 (RX11969). According to the label, they both came into the barrel on the same day. At first they come across as quite different, but after a while in the glass they become somewhat alike. Nevertheless, the Grand étang sec is slightly better."
