    How does this rum taste?

    The Savanna Traditionnel - Série kraft rum, distilled in 2008 at Reunion's Savanna distillery, is a limited edition release with only 773 bottles. Aged for 10 years, this column-still rum offers a distinct aroma dominated by woody and fruity notes, complemented by apple and subtle vanilla. The palate reveals a complex blend of barrel and vanilla, followed by sweet, fruity, and spicy flavors. Some users note the influence of Calvados and a slightly underwhelming ABV integration. This rum's finish combines rich fruitiness with increasing woody undertones, making it a noteworthy choice for fans of Savanna distillery.

    28.02.2020 Had a nice meet up with new rum nerds. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose Wood, fruity, light chocolate, citrus, spice, light smoke. Palate Warm, wood, fruity, pineapple, spicy, faint chocolate, light olive. Finish Medium to long, wood, spicy, medium dry, citrus. Extra note. ABV could have been better integrated.

    Schöner fruchtiger (wahrscheinlich auch durch das Finish) Rum, der ganz leichte Ester Anklänge hat.

    Very nice Savanna. Traditionnel, indeed, but with some nice esters that recall Grand Arome. Some traits are usual savanna, especially apples. Good the influence of the cask, wood caramel and liquorice. A really nice dram, and enjoyable savanna.

    A beautiful, fruity-woody nose. Besides freshness from limes and oranges, the Calvados clearly comes through with its apple notes. Some grape could also be present. Dry oak and lovely vanilla, with some cocoa and a hint of licorice out the back. On the palate, it's fruity and spicy and comes through salty and bitter at first. Again, the Calvados finish comes through with green apple. Plus some sour cherry and grapefruit. I also find nutmeg and vanilla. In the finish it remains fruity and is increasingly woody.Beautiful Savanna with Interesting Finish
