Savanna Rhum Vieux Traditionnel 5yr 43%

"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."

"Sehr wässriger erster Eindruck. Etwas Holz, etwas Süße, nicht viel. Für den Preis ok. Kaum Charakter."

"09.08.2019 Tasting with the usual suspects and our own bottles. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, roasted, fruits, light nutts, floral, faint tar. Palate Light, wood, roasted, faint coffee, fruits, citrus, light nutts, faint mint, faint medicinal. Finish Medium long, wood, roasted, citrus, nutts, light chocolate, faint coffee."

"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."

"Light, for the summer. Floral planting floral, slightly fruity. Less spice. Alcoholic finish"

"Ein klein wenig zu modrig für mich"

"Des beaux arômes agréables qui méritent une peux plus d'équilibre et peut-être de vieillissement..."

"Easy rum, with a very common profile. Is surely something nice to drink and approach the distillery. If you are used to something more complex you can skip it. The nose is the best part, intriguing at least. I find it a little bit short after tasting it. But as said it does the job ."
