How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise this powerful, layered 15-year Savanna for its pâtisserie-like profile: baked apple and butterscotch over roasted wood and spice. On the palate, dried fruits, fruitcake and toasted coconut meet chocolate, with a hint of menthol. Excellence Rhum’s selection shows a cognac-cask influence adding tannins and roast. It opens with air or a splash of water. Well received by 10 reviewers, it rewards lovers of complex, heavy rums.

Dégusté au comptoir des innovations du Rhum Fest Paris 2025. 👃 Pomme fraîche au premier nez, puis cuite en gâteau, c'est pâtissier, vanillé, légèrement beurré. Joli caramel mou, un peu de fraîcheur mentholée. Alcool peu perceptible malgré les 63%. 😋 Gourmande, riche et suffisamment intense. Cake aux fruits secs et confits (fût de Porto?), épices douces, un peu de torréfaction coco et noix. Fin de bouche plus fraîche et fruitée, une corbeille litchis & pamplemousses me vient à l'esprit. ⛳ Assez longue, sur les notes du nez en rétro-olfaction, toujours sur la fraîcheur fruitée avec une touche de camphre. En comparaison avec les UC 22-23-24, il me semble un cran au dessus, un peu similaire à l'UC Belgique 2024 "Mérou", en meilleur. Peut-être même au niveau d'un Maputo, à vérifier. PS: Note plus approfondie à suivre dès sa sortie en juin 2025.
Reminiscent of Martinique. Probably because of the barrel.
Dégusté au Rhum Fest Paris, notes à compléter. Pré-commandé instantannément à mon retour du Festival. Les notes "classiques" d'un savanna, sublimées sur 15 ans, plus complexe, plus lourd, un peu fumé, épices de cuisine... j'ai adoré ! Hate de re-tester à la maison ;)
Rhum Fest Paris 2025 Really excellent. Many layers that reveal themselves along the way. The cognac barrel brings out a lot of fruity accents.
