    Alkohol könnte etwas besser eingebunden sein. Hatte vor dem Kauf die Befürchtung, dass der Port zu dominant sein könnte. Dies hat sich zum Glück nicht bewarheitet und gibt dem Rum eine gute Note. Für eine höhere Bewertung fehlt mir die Frucht. Dennoch schöne Gewürz, Holz und Röstaromen. Macht Spass. Mit längerer Oxidation wird diese Abfüllung besser.

    A very distinctive and pleasant nose of Läkerli (a Basel cookie with gingerbread). On the palate, the Läkerli is also prominent, with a slight vegetal note and a very light smokiness. An astonishing rum!

    A particularly surprising Savanna for its age. The profile begins with a very pastry-like, round nose that is all about gourmandise. There's plenty of fruit of all kinds (strawberry, tropical fruit, grape, coconut), spices and very soft sweet notes. Tobacco, chocolate and woody notes add depth. After aeration, the nose reveals an appreciable hint of menthol, which blends well with the olfactory profile. The attack on the palate is very intense, marked by fruit (mango, pineapple, papaya, apricot, peach), floral notes and menthol. The greedy, pastry-like flavors remain, rounding out the finish. Spice and woodiness support the palate, with a little spiciness, without being distracting. The profile is very tasty. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long, sweet and slightly mentholated. Spice, fruit, wood and pastry make for a seamless aromatic combination that works well and lingers for many minutes. A generous, rich and delicate Savanna that will delight fans of the distillery.

    Magnifique nez ! Sur le menthol et les fruits exotiques et la vanille. Une bouche nettement plus décevante avec une amertume et une astreigeance sur la mangue et un côté terreux. Très déçu après une belle promesse. ÉDIT : goûté de nouveau après avoir aéré l’échantillon, c’est pire qu’à l’ouverture. Il n’y a rien dans ce rhum, c’est plat, pas de longueur, ce n’est pas gourmand. Extrêmement déçu ! Je ne comprends pas la note de la communauté…
