Savanna Art of Rum by Yann le Gall

Woody, vegetal, spicy with subtle fruit and herbal bitterness.

Aromas of vegetal, woody, and citrus mingle with hints of herbal and peppery flavors on the palate, accompanied by mild fruitiness. Consensus: An accessible, characterful blend of agricole and molasses, recommended for adventurous palates seeking freshness over sweetness.

    How does this rum taste?

    Distinctive vegetal and herbal profile
    Balanced blend of agricole and molasses
    Subtle pepper, wood, and fruit notes

    Wood-driven and vegetal notes lead the way on Savanna's "Art of Rum by Yann le Gall," while herbal, peppery, and subtle fruity flourishes add nuance. Community tasters highlight a vibrant interplay between agricole and molasses styles, with layered spice, mild sweetness, and hints of caramel. Balanced yet approachable, this eight-year-old Reunion bottling suits fans of complex, lightly bitter rums with a greener, less sugary touch. Worth a try for those seeking a distinctive, herb-laced sipper.

     A rum tasted at the Rhum Fest in 2024 and at the Masterclass for RumX 2024. A nose that vacillates between dark, woody, spicy, very lightly tarred and fruity (pear) and vegetal. The freshness is perhaps a little lacking. The palate is fruity with spices, wood and less vegetal than on the nose. The finish is rather short on yellow fruit and citrus. Spices and a hint of tar at the very end. The empty glass is beautiful.

     Thanks to the RumX Team for this great opportunity!! Unfortunately, I missed the only tasting due a delayed flight… This one took the last place in my tasting, but this doesn‘t mean it‘s a bad rum… What I really liked here is the tar note and overwhelming floral notes!

     Very alcoholic nose, which does not bode well. But then quite nice on the palate. Very round, well-balanced rum. Hardly any characteristics. Some apple, some hazelnut, some vanilla. Hardly any depth. Light sipper without much pretension. Unfortunately too expensive for that, even if the rum has its raison d'être.

     7,5:On the nose, the first impression we get is vegetal, then woody with roasted notes like nuts, leather.At first, fruits are quite tamed, so is a sugarcane, revealing later. Certainly it is spicy with pepper and flowery. On aeration, the rum is grassy, there is some tea, obviously fruits are dried and citrus, some caramel could be also found, when resting passes.It becomes a bit smoky... 7,6:On the palate, tha attack is agricole like with spicy, vegetal and flowery sugarcane, the wood is roasted with nuts, leather. The fruits are tropical and yellow, accompanied with a pear.The sugarcane quickly becomes earthy and grassy, waxy, later we taste some hay. Bitterness is inevitable with a bit resinous wood.Resting helps vanilla and honey, herbal notes and tea. 7,6:The finish is medium long, with dry and roasted wood notes, the sugarcane is spicy and earthy, herbaceous, with honey and tea touch, as in the end it could be minty. The fruits are yellow and dried, some pineapple is also present..
