„what a grenade!!🤤⚡💥🤯🇷🇪 incredibly complex.After 1H breath cinnamon pastry, apple pockets and honey banana in the nose. In addition Incredibly mild for 65%, horny sour cherry, pineapple, strawberry and mint, chamomile olive notes and very complex and dangerously drinkable. Musty, fermented and glue-heavy to no end. This thing is definitely the full broadside of Savanna but almost a bit too much for me. The lava and madras are more my cup of tea here.“

„In der Nase kommt neben der brachialen Grand Arôme Wucht auch Erinnerungen an zimtige Apfeltasche auf. Zudem kommen jede Menge überreife, tropische Früchte (und Erdbeeren) und Klebstoff dazu. Spannend! Am Gaumen intensiv und cremig. Neben den überreifen Früchten kommt auch eine angenehme Honigsüße dazu. Trotz der 66.1% ist der Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Absolute Savanna Spitzenklasse!“

„Horny stuff! It is difficult for me to describe this rum, because it is somehow different, Savanna just. Fruity, a little artificial and reminiscent of bubble gum, but not so much as a HERR. At the same time also spicy notes and herbal aromas, especially olive and mint. Wonderfully complex and incredibly intense, from the first sip the entire mouth is taken. Overall, very high quality, there are a few points deduction with me, because he is very special and not one hundred percent meets my preferences. If you're up for it but quite great cinema!“
