Savanna Plantation La Réunion Single Cask 2005
Most love the bold glue, fruit and smoky whisky twist; critics find it overly sweet and slightly unbalanced. Overall seen as a characterful, good-value Savanna with a distinctive profile.
Fans of funky Savanna and Jamaican-style glue/ester notes who don’t mind noticeable sweetness and enjoy a smoky whisky influence at just-over-50% ABV.

How does this rum taste?
Sweet, funky, smoky Savanna twist

Farbe: Bernstein Geruch: Intensiv und aromatisch, süß, fruchtig und nach Estern. Aromen von Banane, Kokos, Sahne, Kräutern und etwas Rauch. Riecht echt lecker. Geschmack: Süß und fruchtig im Mund bevor er würzig wird. Beim Schlucken würziger Toffee, süß mit Sandelholz. Lecker. Abgang: Lang, lecker, wärmend, süß im Nachgeschmack. Würzig, Sandelholz, Zimtblätter und Leder. Fazit: Erinnert mich stark an den Rum Arrangé, den ich mir gerade aus weißem Rum mit einer Trockenmischung aus La Réunion angesetzt habe … vor allen an die darin enthaltenen Zimtblätter. 87 Punkte
It really has a special taste profile and I like it. I actually bump it a few points this time. Now into my second bottle and it’s still different from most rums I’ve tasted and I still like it.
Ein intensiver Geruch nach Klebstoff, Lösungsmittel, fruchtig, dazu auch etwas Rauch und Whisky. Der Geschmack ist ebenfalls intensiv und besonders, fruchtig, rauchig, Klebstoff und auch etwas dreckig im Nachklang. Der Körper ist schwer und ölig, der Geschmack hält sehr lange an. Ein äußerst interessanter Rum...
Great rum from Savanna. Just the right mix of fruit, glue and sweetness. Very balanced and yet intense.
