„Mah...some rums just don't impress me anymore. They are pleasantly drinkable, but nothing more. From Savanna I would have expected more, but it is also true that they are rums with low pretensions.“

„Overall an interesting rum that makes me want to test more from the brand, both traditional and Agricole.“

„First traditional rum of Reunion Island that I taste. In the nose, I don't find very particular markers. Some fruit, wood, vanilla. Some cane too. In the mouth, the juice is thick, almost fat. It is at first woody and sweet. Ripe yellow fruit, vanilla, pepper too. It is very pleasant in the mouth, a little less in the throat where it stings a little (I am sick when I do this tasting).Nice discovery. Not very complex but pleasant to drink.“

„Savanna is an interesting distillery from La Reunion making rums both from molasses and from cane juice. This is one of their rum traditionnels meaning molasses based and they clearly know what they are doing in this art. The nose is quite subtle apart from a hint of vanilla and a complete absence of alcohol smell. In the mouth it is incredibly smooth to sip and the vanilla carries through to greater expression. Slight and subtle tropical fruits can be gleaned but the most impressive thing is just how well all the flavors turn in on themselves to join an incredibly integrated whole. Practically no alcohol burn whatsoever and with an aftertaste length that is about par for the course. But the takeaway here is that this is a highly agreeable sipper with very well integrated flavor.“

„Delicate, subtle and elegant: no bombastic explosions of scents and flavors, but rather fleeting fruity and vegetal impressions. Nevertheless delicious to drink and discover.“

„It’s a bit disappointing for a Savanna which is a distillery I generally love. Molasses based and fairly mainstream in terms of profile. Wood, vanilla, and tropical fruits on the nose but nothing memorable, on the mouth more spice and vegetal notes but nothing which draws me in, finish is short and a bit bitter. Was expecting better and not one to revisit for my palate“

„Nice green and fresh flavors but somewhat unbalanced. Surprisingly long lingering finish. Slight solvents flavors. A distinct personality that differentiates from other rums is a plus.“
