    A little more tamed than the LORD - but tamed is "relative" here. More herbal (basil, herbs) and umami instead of blatant fruitiness like the Lontan 57.5. Reminiscent of liquid antipasti. 🤓 Great high ester rum!

    This Savanna is exceptional (I could already taste it on the GRF), and I like it. This blend of fruit and spice notes is very special. It's perfect for a mixed drink Edit: Tasted it again at the Savanna Masterclass. My rating remains

    27.09.2024 Retasting with Savanna and I still love it a lot. Still get the Heinz tomato ketchup. Needs to rest to really open up but then you get the fruity and glue notes. ----------------- #4538 12.01.2024 Very nice HERR with lots of tomato and a very long finish.

    This Savanna Trad G is a real original, opening with surprising aromas combining tomato, basil, olive, spices, fermentation and medicinal notes with a hint of esters. Confusing, but a welcome change from more conventional white rum profiles. The palate is no exception: the funky esters stay in contact with the green notes of tomato and olive, while banana follows far behind in the mouth. More surprisingly, meaty notes (meat) and umami creep onto the palate. It's a real UFO, with a zany but no less interesting profile. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated for its level. The finish is long, spicy, vegetal and medicinal. At last, fruit enters the fray to vary the aromas. The power of the juice is felt, with a dry, spicy texture that envelops the palate. Certainly not the Savanna to start with, but such a fine risk-taking on a profile as strange as it is fascinating can only encourage the distillery to develop a profile of this kind for ageing.
