    Praised by the RumX community for its balance and depth, L’Absolu layers red fruits and green apple over polished oak, licorice and spice. Reviewers note herbal tones, light tobacco and a menthol-tinged, long finish, with some perceiving a Port-cask influence. With 93 reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a popular Savanna blend enjoyed neat; a few find the alcohol a bit hot and the tannins slightly bitter.

    Very nice blend of Traditional, Grand Arôme and some Port Finish. Tropically matured for about 15 years. Thick and oily. Pleasant bitter tones in the finish. Really fun!

    Balanced blend, but still lacking a lot to become a top rum. Very alcoholic despite the 55%, too much for me. Otherwise a nice heavy rum that certainly has its fans. For me, however, Savanna stands for more delicate things than this heavyweight.

    Rather restrained nose but then very heavy, concentrated, thick and oily on the palate. At the same time, many intense wood flavors meet green apple, strawberry, menthol, cinnamon and allspice, as well as burnt sugar and too long baked croissant😀🥐 overall for me too much wood influence, too bitter and not necessarily worth 250€... Nevertheless, an exciting example of old savanna blends!

    Comparison with the absolu 24: This one is clearly the denser rum, the more traditional profile may be a little more boring but in the end is at least on a par with its successor. Nice variety that Savanna offers here. RumX Savanna Masterclass 12.7. Clearly floral, traditional profile on the nose, which I personally like very much. Much more concentrated on the palate and above all spicier and with plenty of tannins. Nice menthol note on the finish. An exciting blend that just came out on top for me in the tasting because it is the most intense.
