    How does this rum taste?

    Séré Kraft Agricol Rum from Reunion's Savanna Distillery is a unique 2007 vintage, column distilled from sugarcane juice and aged 11 years in ex-cognac casks. With just 886 bottles available, this limited edition rum exudes complex aromas of glue, vegetal notes, and citrus, combined with vibrant oak and grassy flavors. While praised for its balance, some users find its nail polish notes polarizing. This rum, boasting a 50.4% ABV, offers a distinctive taste for adventurous rum enthusiasts. Despite mixed reviews, its historical roots and refined aging process make it a noteworthy option for collectors and those curious about the Savanna range.

    Overall a fantastic and well-balanced Agricole that I tasted at the pre-party to Sweden Rumfest 2023 at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm. The Savanna Distillerie was built between 1948 and 1950 by Emile Hugot in Saint Paul, Reunion. It wasn’t the first distillery in Reunion cause rum has been distilled in the island since the 1870’s from sugarcane grown on the island. In 1992 the distillery was moved the Bois-Rouge sugar factory in Saint Paul where the entire production now takes place, from cultivation and harvesting of the sugar cane to distillation and bottling. Rum from the Savanna distillery has grown quite popular lately and Mr. Fabio Rossi from Rum Nation started a collaboration with them some years ago which has resulted in this bottling among some others. This single cask bottling was distilled in 2007 in their Savalle Column Still whereafter was transferred to former cognac casks for eleven years of aging before bottled in 886 bottles.

    Ein sehr untypischer Savanna. Das Cognac-Finish ist hier deutlich riech- und schmeckbar, was ihm eine gewisse Eleganz verleiht. Am Gaumen etwas wässrig, wenn man ihn mit kleinen Schlücken verkostet. Der Abgang hingegen wertet den Rum nochmal auf. Ein ganz untypischer Savanna mit der Eleganz eines schönen Cognac.

    Nez; fraîcheur du raisin sec confit, de la vanille, colle à bois, un côté végétal sur la canne à sucre verte. C'est élégant sur la fleur de rose, loukoums, les extraits de rose. Quelques fruits à chair blanche. Bouche; l'aspect boisé est plus prononcé. Légèrement épicé et presque fumé. C'est herbacé aussi, un aspect foin frais. Les fruits à chair blanche reviennent (poire, pêche blanche). L'ensemble manque d'intensité et de concentration mais belle équilibre des arômes. 79+

    Un Agricole sympa, assez vineux (fût de Cognac) mais bien frais et végétal. Je préfère autre chose chez savanna mais c'est bien fait.
