    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this HERR for its explosive tropical fruit and poised balance at cask strength. Expect strawberry and pineapple over classic olive-ester notes, with candied red fruits and a long, warming finish. Several reviewers note a refined cognac-cask influence and exceptionally well-integrated alcohol. Highly rated across 98 community reviews, this limited release of 635 bottles is often enjoyed neat, and even shines in a Daiquiri or Old Fashioned.

    Totally awesome HERR and extremely impressive for its 8 years. What stands out in particular are the stone fruit associations which, alongside the usual tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, etc.), tend to be rather rare in intropically matured rums. Above all apricot. The first sip literally explodes and spreads throughout the mouth. An eternally long finish, even though the cask is not over-present on the palate. High complexity. For me the best Savanna so far, or rather my new reference that replaces the 10yo LMDW.

    Savanna Masterclass High Ester: Almost identical to HERR Blanc Paris... but a little wilder, more impetuous and direct. The aromas come across with full force and press their stamp firmly into the palate... making the finish beautifully long and intense... first class. If I had to choose between the Blanc Paris and this one... I'd go for the HERRline, despite the elegance of the Blanc Paris

    Incredibly cool and quite typical HERR Grand Arome nose of strawberry, olive brine, tropical fruits and some candied sour currant. Aromatically, the sour currant and some kiwi prevail, along with light vinegar notes, some salty olive brine and then quite a lot of tannins and a nice bitter-sweet spiciness in the finish, reminiscent of grilled caramelized pineapple with molasses or almost pineapple tepatche with cinnamon bark. Here, too, kiwi comes through in terms of this furry, sour-sweet aroma. Really good, complex and delicious!

    WoW! Really a great bottling😍 Estery, lovely, fruity, gummi bears, red fruits, delicious, full bodied, yummy yumm yumm😎🥃 The alcohol is integrated perfectly. Unfortunately, you can‘t find it anymore under 400€ 😭
