    How does this rum taste?

    Intense, sulphury sherry-bomb Savanna
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy heavy sherry cask whiskies or dark, sulphury rums, this is a wild Savanna experiment worth hunting down; if you dislike cask dominance, sample before buying a bottle.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, anyone sensitive to sulphur or burnt/charred notes, and Savanna fans looking for a clearly recognizable house profile rather than a cask-dominated rum.

    Savanna-Online-Tasting WLP 26.09.2025 - 87 Punkte Update 2025-09-28: Da ich mehrfach auf meine Bewertung angesprochen wurde, habe ich diesen Rum nochmals verkostet. Ein super Spalter-Rum! 😂 Ich wusste bisher nicht, dass ich verbrannte Zündplätzchen nicht nur olfaktorisch, sondern auch geschmacklich mag, aber so ist es. Für mich ist dies ein sehr erwachsener, leicht verrückter Rum, der mit etwas zu enormer Kraft daherkommt (für eine Verkostung mit einem Tropfen Wasser hat die Probe leider nicht mehr gereicht). Wenn andere ihn nicht mögen, gut für mich, dann wird es kein Problem, eine ganze Flasche zu ergattern. Bewertung bleibt bestehen. 😉

    Savanna-Tasting-RumX 26.09.25: Diese Wild Island Edition ist so gar nicht meins. Die 19 Jahre Sherryfass haben ihre Wirkung hinterlassen..aber nicht im positiven Sinne. In der Nase überwiegt alter dunkler schwerer Sherry. Am Gaumen anfangs noch gebranntes Karamell und leichte Röstigkeit. Dann entwickelt sich ein Aroma von altem modrigen pilzlastigen Waldboden mit leichtem Schwefel…dieses bleibt auch im Abgang dominierend…muss man mögen. Ich jedoch nicht

    Savanna Masterclass. Da gehe ich mit, ein wirklich guter Rum. Klar ist das Sherry Cask Finish erkennbar, aber wirklich gut eingebunden. Ansonsten ist noch etwas Holz erkennbar. Ein echter Top Rum meiner Meinung nach.

    Mmh I'm not really warming to this Savanna. The nose is almost musty Musty fermented ... Red fruits and sweetness . On the palate it tastes like an old port wine, lots of sweet plum and many bitter substances. Unfortunately not my cup of tea at all. Would never have guessed this rum blind as Savanna. Conclusion: Too bad about the original rum
