    How does this rum taste?

    Complex and rich flavor profile
    Long and pleasant finish
    Unique port cask influence

    The Collection Grand Arôme Port Cask Blend LMDW is a distinctive rum from Savanna Distillery in Reunion, aged for 15 years. Known for its dominant woody and port notes, it is crafted using molasses in a column still, offering aromas of tropical fruit and caramelized tones. Its complex palate delivers flavors of raisins, sour cherry, and leather, highlighted by its port cask finish which attracts varied opinions. Noted for its blend of fruit, rich spices, and sweetness, this limited release of 922 bottles at 49.2% ABV offers a long-lasting, nuanced experience. It's both a celebrated and potent example of Savanna’s Grand Arôme character, praised for its depth, but may not appeal to purists of lighter profiles.

     Extreme and not for every day. If you go for it, you will be rewarded with a great Grand Arôme. Pleasant acidity on the palate. A stunner.

     Grand Arôme grand result. A nice and fruity rum with wood, spices and caramel in a lovely mix with the tannins and port cask finish. Chocolate is very obvious in the empty glass after a while.

     Une bouteille bien entamée. Un nez de solvants avec de la framboise, de la cerise amère. Une bouche vive, mais aussitôt beaucoup de fruits avec de la cerise aigre des fruits secs et des fruits tropicaux. Une finale assez longue toujours sur les fruits avec une cerise qui ressort nettement. J’aime !

     Ah well, breaking a sample bottle is a great reason to try whats left of the sample. Unfortunately it feels like a great rum was diminished by the port cask. Dont get me wrong, this is still nice, and really clearly porto and grand arome. it just does not excel and for me the porto is holding it back massively
