    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members rave about the thunderous ester hit and overripe fruit in Savanna’s Grand Arôme Thunderstruck. Glue and nail polish on the nose, sour cherry and strawberry, then woody spice and menthol. Despite 65.1%, the alcohol is well integrated with a long finish. Give it time in the glass. A 2004 pot still, 14-year release, limited to 681 bottles—highly rated by 67 reviewers.

    What a grenade!!!⛈️⚡🤤⚡💥🤯🇷🇪 incredibly complex. After 1h breathing time cinnamon cookies, apple turnover, strawberry chewing gum and honey banana in the nose. Incredibly mild for 65%, awesome sour cherry, pineapple, strawberry and mint, chamomile olive notes and very complex and dangerously drinkable. Musty, fermented and sticky without end. This thing is definitely the full broadside of Savanna Grande arome as it is written in the book! But I think the Lava and Madras are even better!

    Super Savanna Here, too, a Grand Arome with mega complexity to fall in love with. Really great with fruit, wood and spice. Beautifully balanced with well-integrated alcohol. For me GA > HERR, I know, many see it differently.

    On the nose, in addition to the brute Grand Arôme punch, memories of cinnamon-y apple turnover come to mind. Also, lots of overripe tropical fruit (and strawberries) and glue come in. Exciting! Intense and creamy on the palate. In addition to the overripe fruit, there is also a pleasant honeyed sweetness. Despite the 66.1%, the alcohol is very well integrated. Absolute Savanna top class!

    Absolute Granate!!!
