How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise this Savanna 2006 for its sherry-cask touch enriching woody, roasted aromas with dried and red fruits. The cask-strength 57.65% palate brings spicy oak, estery depth and citrus-berry notes; alcohol is generally well integrated, making it an accessible sipper. Often enjoyed neat rather than mixed.

Super Delicious Savanna! The sherry finish has a cool impact on this one and isn’t overwhelming. Only the finish is a bit astrigend at the beginning. The Alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but doesn’t affect the enjoyment
Tasted against another 2006 Savanna, the new Unshared Germany (RX16505): The differences are striking. While in the RN the sherry finish immediately comes to the fore in the nose and on the palate, in the Unshared Germany it is intrusive fruit gum notes, artificial in effect. However, the alcohol is better integrated in the Unshared. Ultimately, a head-to-head race, I find the Rum Nation more drinkable, the Unshared Germany more balanced with a slightly higher recognition value.
A lovely Savanna bottled by Rum Nation with a sherry cask finish that has left its mark. The nose is fairly classic but easy to drink, with spicy woody notes of leather and licorice, caramel and brown sugar, followed by a more varied fruitiness (citrus, dried fruit and red fruit). A relatively smooth, accessible rum. The attack on the palate reveals a heavier, more aromatic side, in which esters, tannins and aromatic herbs show their character. This is followed by fruity notes, particularly citrus, red and black fruits (blackcurrant). Spicy oak completes the concentrated, dry, gourmet profile, in which alcohol is well integrated. The long finish returns to raisins, spicy, phenolic notes and fragrant herbs. The barrel has clearly played its part in the final product, adding a good deal of aroma and sweetness. A fine cuvée with good value for money.
I didn’t take any notes at the Rhum Fest so a more detailed review will follow as soon as I get the chance to sample this rum again in a better context.
