    World‑class, explosive Savanna flavor bomb
    Who is this rum for?

    If you’re into high‑ester Jamaicans or other Savanna Grand Arôme bottlings, this is a must‑try—same flavor-bomb energy but with extra balance, depth and a standout finish.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or funky ester profiles, and value‑focused buyers who might find a rare 50 cl single cask too intense or too expensive.

    Grâce à un membre d'un groupe Facebook j'ai pu récupérer quelques licornes GA et Herr en split. 👃 Dès l'ouverture du sample, un magnifique vernis vient englober la pièce, accompagné d'épices orientales (poivre rose, sel rose de l'Himalaya). Ça embaume les fleurs tropicales ; badamier, orchidées vanille et Tiaré Tahiti. J'ai du caramel sur le toffee, des noix de cajou caramélisées. Des fruits surmûris (jacquier, mangue, fruits de la passion) voir légèrement pourris apparaissent à mesure de la dégustation. On termine avec l'odeur d'un bocal à olives vertes et des tapenades. 😋 Première bouche sur de la fumée de bois, douelle carbonisée, très vivace et rapide comme un éclair. Puis, beaucoup de fruits sur le coulis de framboises, les pâtes de fruits rouges, les baies noires, les fruits confits. L'aspect fruité évolue sur les Loukoums, les bonbons à la rose, mais aussi vers le zeste de pamplemousse confit, l'orange sanguine. Ce côté acidulé me rappelle un mix entre des bonbons arlequins et des têtes brûlées. C'est gourmand sur des tuiles au chocolat noir/piment/framboise/pécan qui se baladent par-ci par-là. J'y trouve aussi un peu d'huile essentielle de menthe verte. L'alcool est très bien intégré autant au nez qu'en bouche. Je ne ressent pas les 64°. ⛳ Longue finale, chaude, encore les esters de fruits trop mûrs, les épices de cuisine, un chocolat noir amère. Le verre vide dégagent des effluves d'olives noires, de tapenades, de bacon fumé et de diverses salaisons. Magnifique Grand Arôme, complexe, évolutif, intense du début à la fin, sans manquer d'une certaine finesse. Le meilleur GA de chez Savanna que j'ai pu déguster pour le moment. A-t-il un concurrent sérieux ?

    Very smooth, very nice

    Crazy fantastic magnifico taste

    wahnsinn. ganz anderes Profil quasi wie Joghurette mit Zartbitterschokolade, grünem granny Smith Apfel und Karamell. total abgefahren!🤤 dazu sowohl in nase als auch Geschmack Menthol, Werthers echte Karamellbonbons, grüner saurer Apfel Kakao und viele Beerenfrüchte und Sandelholz sowie vergorenes Obst. insgesamt sehr rund und harmonisch!
