Savanna RA Unshared Cask for Germany

"Nice nose with notes from the cask, dried fruits and some glue. Very enjoyable. Complex and elegant on the palate. Presenting dried fruits and lots of spices (cinnamon) in an excellent balance. Influence from the cognac cask is noticeable. Alcohol is very well integrated."

"A pleasantly restrained nose with light sticky and fruity aromas! On the palate, the rum is soft, warm and mild! The alcohol is perfectly integrated, dried dates and soft wood, as well as pleasant allspice spice spread out. The finish is relatively short with light barrel and date aromas, a successful rum"

"Der erste Savanna unshared Cask für Deutschland. Der Cognac- Fasseinfluss ist gut bemerkbar. Insgesamt wirkt der Rum sehr harmonisch und gut ausbalanciert. Am Gaumen ölig in der Konsistenz mit sehr gut integriertem Alkohol. Der Abgang ist mittellang. Lecker!"

"Edit: One of my first Savanna in a glass and still one of the best I've had so far. As Savanna is a new area, I find it very successful and the alcohol is very well integrated. The only possible criticism is that the finish could be a little longer"

"Still one of my favorite Savanna. Great balanced reunion molasses."

"Quite different in character to the unshared for Germany from 2023, this one has a well-balanced, not too overloaded cognac finish and is slightly ahead of its successor in terms of taste. A beautifully harmonious single cask from Savanna. Good balance, rather dry. Alcohol well integrated."

"Strong savanna, with very successful cognac note.... Very successful"

"Nose: fruit, candy, coconut, wood, funk, warm laundry Taste: candy, salt, pickled plum, wood, sour, esters, chilli Finish: Long My first ever Savanna, like it a lot. Would score this 86."

"interesting Savanna. lots of grape, rose, banana, cocoa, papaya, lots of wood, lots of tannins and very astringent and acidic. very dry but for me personally overall too much acidity and bitterness from wood and tannins."

"4 Savannas im Quervergleich: Sieger ist der CDI 2007, schön intensives GA Profil mit leichtem Holz und guter Balance. Knapp dahinter der Rum Nation mit ähnlichem Profil, aber ein wenig eindimensionaler. Platz 3 und Sieger des Herzens: Easy Peasy von Swell, trotz des jungen Alters eindeutig ein GA mit allem was dazu gehört, erstaunlich gut zu trinken und rund. Abgeschlagen der Unshared for Germany, im Direktvergleich ziemlich langweilig. Ist aber auch ein Traditional."

"We had a great tasting today and here are the results. "

"A Savanna more rooted in the traditional style. Notes of vesoul and caramel mingle with spices (pepper, ginger), tobacco and elegant oak. Then come more pronounced fruity notes of dried fruit, citrus, yellow and exotic fruits. A profile that demands a little more attention. On the palate, this is a balanced, relatively accessible rum. Dried fruit, exotic fruit and citrus combine with spices, toasted notes and wood to create a winning and effective combination. Notes of tobacco, flowers, caramel and honey add roundness. Alcohol is well integrated. The finish is drier and loses aroma. Roundness gives way to bitterness, with notes of nuts, licorice, tobacco, spices, chocolate and wood. Fruit takes a back seat. A traditional but well-crafted profile, quite elegant, complex and accessible at the same time."

"8,5:On the nose, grapes first bump into our nosetrils, with wood and cognac notes, solvents, joined with a banana and yellow fruits. The wood is roasted with leather, caramel, dark chocolate and nuts, spicy with vanilla. On aeration, it becomes fruitier with citrus, cherry, dried fruits, some other tropical fruits and a bit minty. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is rather intense with roasted, spicy wood and notes like petrol, rubber and plastic, luckily quickly balanced with honey and fruits like raisins and tropical with banana, roasted notes with caramelized, salty nuts, dark chocolate...Pure caramel is shows up, vegetal and minty molasses, some licorice. 8,5:The finish is long, dry, balanced with roasted wood notes and dried, tropical fruits, citrus, some tobacco, spicy and tannic, a tasty crunchy bread note joins the game after a while.."

"Bei diesem eher scheuen Geruch hätte ich nicht mit so einem Spannungsbogen im Mund gerechnet. Der Wandel von der eichenbetonten Prägung durch das Cognacfass über prickelnde Gewürzmomente hin zu einem zunehmend süß-fruchtigen Gemenge mitsamt karamallisierten Pekannüssen finde ich wirklich gelungen. Schade, dass es nach dem Runterschlucken relativ schnell und unspektakulär endet."
