Savanna Unshared Cask for Germany 2016

Great mix of Traditional and Grand Arôme / HERR!

Great Savanna Blend. HERR is not to be dismissed out of hand. Seems young and fruity. Strawberries, honey burnt sugar and a tiny bit of wood. Nose really outstanding. On the palate it unfortunately falls off a bit .... same game as in the nose just a bit unbalanced ... A little more time in the tropics would have helped to play further up there possibly. Nevertheless, a great bottling .

Intense and interesting blend of Traditional and HERR. While both characteristics add to the mix and create a enjoyable profile, personally, I tend to enjoy both profiles separatly more. Very nice bottling for Germany netherthrless.

Very pleasing, could have used some more time in the barrel. Retasting: Strawberry, orange, pineapple. Some varnish from the ester. I don't understand why it had to come out of the barrel so early. Could certainly have been really good. I find the PLV weak here, the bottle far too expensive.

Savanna Masterclass for RumX 2024. On the nose, lychee, red fruit, vegetal, floral and even bubble gum-like aromas. The entry is soft, then the aromas take over the palate: esters, fruit, wood and spice. The finish is long, with citrus, red fruit and a pleasant floral/herbaceous note.

A first-class Savanna with a fruity, floral interplay of aromas. In the glass again today and the fruit on the nose is always positively surprising at first. On the palate, the fruit is joined by a little wood and spice. A very harmonious and round Savanna

Savanna Unshared Cask #3 für Deutschland. Erinnert mich vom Aromenprofil und der Fruchtigkeit sehr an unshared cask #4 für deutschland. dieser hat jedoch ordenrlich mehr power, die Früchte sind präsenter und die Adstringenz steht ihm gut. Zitrusfrüchte und Erdbeercreme am Gaumen und im Abgang. Eine gelungene Abfüllung.

Tasted against another 2006 Savanna, the relatively new Rum Nation with Sherry Finish (RX13525): The differences are striking. While the finish of the RN immediately comes to the fore in the nose and on the palate, the Unshared Germany has intrusive, artificial fruit gum notes. However, the alcohol is better integrated in the Unshared. Ultimately a neck-and-neck race, I find the Rum Nation more palatable, the Unshared Germany more balanced with a slightly higher recognition value.

A nice blend of Grande arome and Traditionelle. Roasted caraway seeds, honey and apricot jam meets esters, glue and subtle wood notes. The light menthol chewing gum/ice candy notes known from grand aromes are very intensely perceptible here together with various yellow tropical fruits and cinnamon chewing gum. Exciting experiment, only the alcohol could be better integrated, but this is probably due to the very short maturation time. There could be more potential here imho. In addition, this caraway note disturbs me massively sorry 😃

I first tried it on the GRF 2023 before it was released and was somehow a little disappointed. Today, half a year later, I quite like it. Lots of esters that give it a bit of a HERR feeling, plus a nice rich honey note on the nose and then a lot of spice at the back, I would say cinnamon and cardamom. Unfortunately, it's quickly gone again, the young age probably comes through here. Young and intense, actually also good, but unfortunately priced too high! Update in the RumX-Masterclass: I still like it quite a lot, strong and spicy and the nice honey note. Still priced too high for me.

The nose immediately delivers: fruit jelly, citrus, honey and esters in good but not overwhelming intensity. The palate is very sharp at the beginning! Unfortunately, the metallic alcoholic taste remains. Otherwise nicely intense and very Savanna typical. The finish brings no surprise, medium to long and more in the direction of barrel. Good Savanna but I do not agree with the pricing and development. For rum of this quality I spent about 60 € 2 years ago. And there were no fish but information on the label!

The blend of Rhum Traditionell and HERR works very well and is well proportioned. On the nose, an intense Traditionell with lots of fruit and some ester. Only on the palate comes the HERR strawberry and the fruit gmi quietly in the background. However, the storage is m.E. Still not enough. The would have a few more years certainly stood well.

on the nose I have melon, pineapple, grape and young wood. On the palate just as neat young wood, plus green vegetables. From memory, I would say it is not quite on par with the RX 300 (the 14yr unshared for Germany), and compared to the CdI for Germany (RX 308) it falls off a bit more. Nevertheless a good Savanna

Savanna Masterclass for RumX July 2024: Braucht etwas Luft, um die alkoholische Präsenz eibzudämmen. Hinter diesem Schleier bahnen sich anschliessend aber herrliche Aromen von frischen und vergorenen Früchten den Weg, dazu Holz, florale Noten, etwas gebrannter Zucker, sehr dezente Würze…überraschend, wie sich der Rum im Glas wandelt.

#4185 This is an easy drinkable release, but at the same time also a well balanced one. Nice and fruity with a floral touch and the wood is more in the back. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some chocolate and coffee to it.
