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
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!
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.
