    How does this rum taste?

    The Réunion rum is a distinguished offering from the Savanna distillery, selected by Compagnie des Indes. Distilled in 2011 from sugar cane juice using a column still, it matures for 12 years, boasting a cask strength of 56.8% ABV. This limited-edition release, with only 257 bottles, features a dynamic profile of woody, varnish, and tropical fruit aromas. The palate is characterized by brown sugar, pineapple, and undertones of chocolate and glue. Although some users appreciate the rum's complexity and rich flavors, others find the alcohol integration less harmonious and the finish slightly adstringent. Ideal for connoisseurs who enjoy nuanced tasting experiences.

    Very cool rum from savanna! Nose: Fruits lightly soaked in nail polish/varnish🥃🥃Typical savanna notes mixed with butterscotch, pastries and licorice. Mouth: A width range a fruits with hints of varnish/glue/menthol. Lovely😍 The alcohol and barrel is integrated very well. The finish is quite long woody, mentholy with a dark choclatw flakes and a drop of fluid licorice

    Not a Grand Arôme, but almost. Delicious stuff. Must breathe long!

    Erstaunlich komplex!

    Quick update: I normally don’t do this but this thing makes such an incredibly good rum sour that I’m attaching the recipe here: Rum Sour 6 cl this rum 2.25 cl lemon juice 2.25 cl dark sugar syrup 1/2 egg white 2-3 dashes angostura bitters Reverse shake and strain to preferred glass. Tried a daiquiri with it too and its profile is just not built for that. Seriously, try a rum sour with this one. Main review: Nose has cola, vanilla, and butterscotch. This rum greatly benefits from the glass sitting in the sun for a few minutes to release all the flavors. Palate actually delivers on the cola and vanilla while adding some cherry. There is something else very delicate in there almost like heather but it’s very subtle, just out of reach. This is a rum that grows on you greatly. My tastings improved tremendously after decanting the bottle into a carafe and making sure the glass was warmed in the sun for a bit. This is a true tasting rum and you have to really pay attention to get the most out of it. Very glad I did not just have a 3cl sample or I would have completely missed the experience on this one.
