    How does this rum taste?

    • Intense tropical fruit aroma
    • Complex ester profile
    • Rich and balanced flavors

    Lontan Grand Arôme is an exceptional rum from the Savanna distillery in Reunion, distilled from molasses in 2007 and aged 8 years in a humid cellar. Bottled at cask strength with a robust 60.4% ABV, this limited release of 726 bottles offers a complex profile. Users describe intense tropical fruit and ester aromas, with hints of mango and strawberry. The taste follows suit with pronounced ester, overripe fruit, and subtle wood and toffee. Some compare its flavor profile to a youthful Jamaican rum, emphasizing its strong fruit and caramel notes, with a finish hinting at mint and olive. Vastly appreciated for its craftsmanship and uniqueness, yet its availability is limited.

    "Ohh this is exactly my thing. Wonderfully fruity... Strawberries, papaya, pineapple, banana and a good load of esters ... Risk of confusion with high ester Jamaicaner quite possible 😅😅.... It almost explodes on the palate ... first oily warm and a little sweet...then it fills the mouth with tropical fruits and esters, here also a little floral (which is hardly present in the nose).... minimal wood and bitter in the finish. Strong performance 👍🏻"

    "I got this bottle on Friday and sitting here enjoying it on a Sunday :-) I have tried a few Savanna grand arômes and I mostly like them. This one however is really good. The glass needs to rest in order for all the flavours to be released. I got most flavours after 30 minutes where it really gets fruity and you can pick up on the wood. I like the spicy touch well balanced with the spices, varnish and some licorice. A great rum and the price to quality is very good."

    "Savanna in top form! Despite relatively short maturation of 8 years, extremely intense and complex. An experience!"

    "WOW! I would not have expected that. there could be both from the taste and smell on a young Jamaican from Long Pond or new Yarmouth/Hampden type. Fat.brutal amount of tropical fruit and esters and caramel, plus some pastry, polish, salty and sweet at the same time, nice wood note almost towards sandalwood. then in the finish Savanna goes up again more with the typical fermented overripe strawberry. very awesome, want more of this! 🤤"
