Asta Morris Savanna Rasta Morris Île de la Réunion 2017

This sample needs time to breathe....alcohol dominates. Later floral and fruity nuances, olive oil, aromatic pear and spicy baked apple appear. Unusual rum, there is some similarity with bourbon aged whiskey. The flavor is sweet, tropical, salty-olive, spicy. The lingering aftertaste has a lot of tannins, olives, salt and pepper and ripe yellow fruits. In an empty glass, lots of vinegar funk and sour olives.

Tasted at Spirits in the sky 2024. A rather fruity Savanna that brings some notes of lemon meringue pie, which I love.

Нос сначала очень интенсивный и даже агрессивный, но через минут 15 он становится более нежным и деликатным: сладкие желтые груши, ванильное печенье, оливковое масло со специями, лакрица. Во вкусе сладкий и свежий одновременно, с уходом в острые специи: фрукты, леденцы с лакрицей, сироп от кашля. Послевкусие длительное, лакричные леденцы с черным перцем и фруктами.

The Road Rummers Africa tasting Very nice rum! It's complex and develops into different flavours. I'm getting red fruits from this one and then they develop into tropical fruits. A lot of goodness for your money. Recommend this one.

Really exciting bottling! On the nose, the rum is very complex (spicy?) and unique and so tempting that you want to taste it immediately. The alcohol is already very well integrated here. On the palate, the rum can't quite keep up with the impression on the nose, it seems a little more one-dimensional and not quite as aromatic. But then the crazy finish: it doesn't take place in the throat, but in the front of the mouth! It's not necessarily worse, but it's absolutely unique, I've never experienced anything like it! Conclusion: Seems to me to be a living unicorn because of the special finish, you should try it! Thanks to Thunderbird for the special experience.

The nose is very fruity and sweet. The alcohol is perceptible, but not dominant. The chewing gum/gummy bear aromas are also discreetly present here. On the palate, floral and fruity notes with caramel and spices. I really like it for its young age and for the price!

Aromatic green-yellow apple on the nose. On the palate again apple and some pear, slightly cinnamon-spicy, plus very light chewing gum aromas. Very round and alcohol well integrated. Medium-long finish, not overly complex. More aromatic on the nose than on the palate. For the price, it's really a very tasty wine and gets my recommendation to buy. But not a must-have for me and no 90 points.

A multi-faceted bottling... At first, this Savanna needs some time to develop its green aromas. But even then they are not very intense. At first I had more of a vegetal side to the nose (olive). But then that changed rapidly... a heavy sweetness with accompanying yellow fruits spread out gently and decisively... The palate is oily and soft... the alcohol is still barely noticeable. There are brief flashes of yellow fruit, but these are quickly replaced by spices (salty licorice, allspice). The finish is still dominated by the spices and becomes slightly bitter. I like it and, in my opinion, it tends towards a GrandArome Edit: I tasted the rest again today and I have to say I really like it. It's round and simply delicious 😋, so I rate it a tenth higher

Sehr abgefahren und hab ich überhaupt nicht erwartet. Geröstete Kokoschips, in Honig kandierte Ananas, Olivenlake und Menthol Bonbons treffen hier auf ungewöhnlich harmonische Art aufeinander. Sehr lecker! Absolut positiv überrascht!

Strange rum that I can't categorize well. Alcohol is very well integrated. Lots of pear and apple on the palate. Overall not typical of a Savanna Creol, Traditional or even Grand Arome.

First impression on the nose: quite alcoholic and somehow floral. Bourbon notes and covered apple pie come with time. Sweet and spicy on the palate. I'm a bit ambivalent: not a typical Savanna profile, but not bad now either...
