“Au départ le nez est essentiellement boisé : chocolaté, torréfié, épicé. En retrait derrière ces arômes boisés je reconnais la fraîcheur et les arômes floraux des savanna traditionnels. Avec l'aération se développent quelques arômes plus pâtissiers, amande amère, façon colle cléopatre (toute une époque! 😉) Le nez est donc très agréable et d'une belle complexité. J'ai toujours plus de mal à décrire la bouche. Mais ce sont les arômes boisés qui prennent le dessus. Il est très agréable, l'alcool est bien intégré. Cependant il reste une certaine astringence en finale que je trouve un peu dommageable. Cela reste un très beau rhum, différent des autres profils de la distillerie et qui montre encore une fois la grande variété de ce que peut proposer savanna.”

“Nice complexity! I would like to see a little more fruity notes. A little too astringent for me.”

“Pas un grand amateur des vieux Savanna en temps normal, j'apprécie celui-ci. Un nez boisé avec un fruit discret en arrière plan et une sensation de pruneaux. En bouche, c'est le bois qui prend le pas pour moi. C'est épicé, légèrement astringent. Le bois laisse quand même quelques fruits s'échapper dans un second temps. Finale plutôt amère, façon café. Plutôt agréable.”
