Savanna Rhum Vieux Traditionnel

"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. The nose is mostly fruity, but also rather alcoholic. At the palate it’s spicy, fruity and bitter with flavors of anise."

"Zusammen mit DomM wurden heute ein paar Savanna verkostet. Vielen Dank an Johannes für die Samples. Die größten Enttäuschungen waren der RX232, sowie der RX11264. Mein persönlicher Favorit war der RX9608. Der RX11034 und der RX11515 haben gerade noch den Sprung über die 8 Punkte geschafft."

"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."

"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."

"Ein klein wenig zu modrig für mich. Ansonsten ist er auch für einen savanna sehr kurz und nicht sehr harmonisch. Hier fehlt mir die typische Komplexität für die ich diese destille so liebe. Kann ich leider nicht empfehlen"

"7,8:The nose opens with a very nice banana, with notes of molasses, strongly toasted wood and coffee. It starts to melt into a dark honey with accents of tar and dried flowers, then into thick, sticky drops of fruit juices. Vanilla, almond and toffee arrive with the opening, while the rum continues to launch some geranium flights. On opening, the coffee and molasses are lemony and thus sharper. The woodiness takes on an air of toasted bread and nutty, nutty fruit. The pepper is fresh and minty. 7,1:The palate is balanced and rather concentrated. Exotic fruits make a quick passage, banana pervades, they immediately give way to roasted nuts, roasted cocoa and a tasty coffee. A small benevolent solvent cleanses a slightly tarry metal. 7:The finish is very roasted, even burnt and mineral. The oxidised nuts are coated with molasses.It is a bit dry. On the nose, this rum promises a lot.."

"Kein wirklich besonderer Rum. In der Nase hat man tropische Früchte, Vanille und Leder. Im Gaumen kommt er dann auch fruchtig (etwas zu sehr) rüber. Außerdem kann man Vanille, Gewürze und den Alkohol schmecken."

"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."

"Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili."

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

"Tellement sous côté sur RumX, les gars 6, faut pas deconner. On a un vrai rhum traditionnel de la réunion, un bon boisé un peu de vanille et de fruits, un complément de solvant/cire qui rajoute une petite typicite. Très sympa."

"Zunächst muss ich zugeben, dass der französischer Rumstil eh nicht so mein Ding ist. Ist aber allgemein schwach an der Nase und pflanzlich, allerdings schon nahezu modrig im Geschmack. Nicht zu trocken."

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