    Ganz netter Savanna. Schwer, süß und übberreif mit Holz, Rauchigkeit und viel Klebstoff. Gat mich aber an der Nase etwas mehr überzeugt als am Gaumen, wo er mir zum Abgang hin etwas unstimmig vorkommt.

    Great rum from Savanna. Just the right mix of fruit, glue and sweetness. Very balanced and yet intense.

    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.

    This is an older tasting. A fruity rum with nice wood and a lovely smoky note. The glue in the profile is there from nose to finish. Price to quality is very good.
