    How does this rum taste?

    • Very fresh and fruity with nice spices
    • Soft and at the same time spicy
    • Distinct notes of gouache and plasticine

    Edition Bois Rouge (1992-2022) by Savanna distillery on Réunion is all about those green, herbal notes the community loves—think olive brine, fresh herbs and grassy cane, with vanilla and spice woven in. The nose brings "herbacé, végétal, raisins, vanillé" (TheJackDrop), while the palate is woody and vegetal, finishing with a dash of pepper and lingering vanilla. Several RumX members found it approachable, yet distinctly Savanna: "pretty good Savanna rum, very fresh and fruity" (Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰) and "als würde man an einem Stück Tahitivanille nuckeln" (Nivius). Though called a complex rum, repeated mentions highlight its pronounced herbal side and a price some question for a 5-year spirit.

    "A rum tasted at the Rum and Gin Festival in Lucerne in 2023 and 2024. A very vegetal, floral nose with green olive, yellow fruit and ivy. The palate is full of aromas, with lots of green olive and all kinds of herbs and fruit. The finish is quite long, with vegetal aromas, fresh tobacco, cedar wood and, above all, vanilla bean."

    "A good Agricole with a lot of glue, somewhat unbalanced at the end, which makes it interesting.But: The price is completely exaggerated for a young rum, which brings us to the label. For me, a misleading declaration, since it is implied here that it is a 1992 vintage."

    "Hmm, this is still a good rum, but besides the weird aging description this is not outstanding to celebrate. Savanna seems to bring out a rum to celebrate any special occasion. In 5 years there will be nothing left but a special edition for Mondays"

    "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."
