This rum really has two very, very different sides.”

“Great savanna, with a little time in the glass a lot of aroma develops. The bottling is quite old compared to other bottlings. For me, some fruit is therefore lost. However, this is complaining on a high level and compared to other top bottles of Savanna.”

“A lovely earthy cellar nose with moisture-attacked wood, caramel and bitumen. The palate is dark and perfumed, an obsolete perfume, with decadent fruit, earth and wood. The length is medium, marked by wood and earthiness. The empty glass brings out discreet bitter wood aromas on the palate, with perfume lingering on top. A perfumed old woman wanders through the rubble of an old wooden house with bitumen patches torn from the roof.”

“Ultra concentrated. Made of wood. Spicy. Vanilla, woody, heavy, spicy. Long, astringent, dry, spicy finish. Very strong in alcohol! 2nd tasting: similar sensations. It's an intense, ultra-concentrated rum, a bit like some Jamaican rums with their high ester content. The profile may or may not appeal.”

“Pleasant old savanna. Great vanilla note. Age comes through nicely, hardly any bitterness. Alcohol super integrated, but needs time”

“Edit: RumX Calendar Day 15 just realized that I was probably already quite full at the tasting at the first tasting 😉 Really very tasty rum. I have corrected it upwards. What I remember here is that it was very spicy and strong. But that's all I can really remember after the intense tasting. The nose initially reminded me of a famous detergent.”

“Very solid Savanna. Old barrel on the nose, dried fruit, plum jam, also slightly musty like in an old wine cellar. Plum jam again on the palate. Long, sweet and spicy finish Very tasty. I would have liked to have had a second bottle now...”

“Nice fruity and toasty nose, fruit in coffee. Alcohol in the nose not yet perceptible, on the palate could be better integrated. But maybe it's the form of the day, after all, he has over 67%. Actually very tasty and I would have liked to give more points, but in the finish it is a bit too woody for me. There the 19 years of tropical storage strike through. Despite the long storage time, he has not quite lost the Agricole character for me.”

“Very spicy and heavy... Alcohol in nose hardly to be perceived on the palate already strong ... I do not mind it. fruit initially rather in the background but comes after ca.45min through and he makes up nicely. the largely tropical storage you notice clearly.”

“A beautiful Savanna! Floral-earthy and marked by a eucalyptus note, this rum shows the typical profile of the distillery (although Savanna has of course very different styles in stock!). In addition, dark and spicy, so that you can taste the 19 years in the barrel quite. Deductions are made for the yet very present alcohol and a slightly clean aftertaste. Overall, however, a tasty bottling as I find, but which is also not cheap!”

“Probably the oldest savanna single cask to date. Lots of wood, some cardamom, candied ginger, dried apricot and some peach and menthol. I was hoping for a little more overall, but still good plv, alcohol very well integrated and delicious.”
