Berry Bros & Rudd Savanna Réunion Rum (Bottled for Kirsch) 2016
Most find an unbalanced rum where red wine and sharp alcohol overpower Savanna’s character; a few enjoy the fruity, port‑like profile. Consensus: interesting experiment that largely missed the mark.
Seasoned enthusiasts who like aggressive, wine-finished, cask-strength spirits and are curious how a bold red wine cask can completely dominate a dry, unsweetened Savanna base.

How does this rum taste?
Wine-forward, sharp Savanna experiment
If you enjoy intense red‑wine finishes and don’t mind a rough, spirit‑forward profile, this is an interesting Savanna oddball; if you love clean Savanna character, you’ll likely be disappointed.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or expecting classic fruity Savanna notes; also not ideal if you dislike strong red-wine flavours in rum.

Popravdě nejsem fanoušek silných rumů, ale tenhle není špatný, i když alkohol je cítit…ve vůni jsem nejdřív cítil švestky a pak jsem si přečetl, že červené víno, dále dřevitost. Barva je velmi světlá, průhledná a lehce do červeno hnědá. V chuti cítím ovoce, dřevo a samozřejmě tóny z červeného vina. Savannu jsem ještě neochutnal, takže popravdě nevím, kolik chuti z ní zůstalo, ale podle ostatních hodnocení mi přijde, že vše přebilo červené víno. Po chvíli odležení ve sklenici opravdu hlavní chuť dominuje červené víno - jako by mělo 50-60% a nebyl to rum. Závěr za mě je poměrně dlouhý - chuť rumu je ještě dlouho cítit na patře..
Haha, ich glaube ich muss noch viel lernen was Rum angeht. Finde diesen hier allerdings sehr lecker. Man hat einen schönen fruchtigen Rotweingeruch in der Nase und ich finde im Gaumen kommt dann noch Kirscje dazu. Den Alkohol schmeckt man kaum. Ich mag ihn.
Doftar lite nafta. Smak oljig lite fet. Röda bär
Für mich schmeckt es wie ein Rotwein mit sehr viel Alkoholgehalt. Hätte mir hier mehr erhofft. Auch im Abgang sehr alkoholhaltig. In der Nase sind einige Noten von tropischen Früchten zu erkennen. Abgang eher langanhaltend
