How does this rum taste?
Serious, oak‑driven Savanna heavyweight
If you enjoy serious, oak-heavy rums like older Barbados or Belize bottlings, this Savanna gives you that style with extra depth and power—just expect dryness and tannins over juicy fruit.
Those sensitive to high ABV, drinkers who dislike bitterness or astringent wood, and value seekers who expect big fruit or easy sweetness for the price.

Best Savanna so far for me. The 19 years great implemented, no stupid barrel finish. Wonderfully balanced and still corners and edges. Super rum, unfortunately very rare and expensive.
Auto-translatedNice aging with lots of astringency and some bitterness. Dark fruit (plum, prune but also some blackberry), chocolate and wood glue in the background. I really like the wood in the lead here. Thanks Rod for the sample 🙏
Auto-translatedTasted against RX16261. Both very good in their own way, that is: they are quite different, but I like (today) both equally well. While the 19-year-old Traditionnel seems really round, mature and smooth, the young HERR breaks out like a wild foal in several directions, first sweetish-perfumed, then smoky, finally tart-fruity with a tendency to gooseberries. Against the HERR Japan Tribute 1 (RX219), the HERR Japan Tribute 3 is a small light, but shines pleasantly independent due to its wild character with recognition effect. The Traditionnel can score with very well integrated alcohol, the 59% you do not notice at all. Great art!
Auto-translatedNice bottle from Savanna. But is it worth the price? Probably not.
