Rum Nation Savanna Reunion 2018 2011
Most love its herbal, industrial Savanna character, dry profile and strong value. Critics find the alcohol a bit rough, herbs dominant and complexity below other Savannas. Consensus: solid, characterful sipper.
Fans of dry, herbal cask strength rums who enjoy Savanna’s slightly industrial side and don’t mind giving a glass time (or a few drops of water) to open up.

How does this rum taste?
Dry, herbal Savanna for cask-strength fans
If you enjoy Savanna’s funkier, drier bottlings and like your rum at full proof, this is a great value; just be ready for a strongly herbal, wood‑forward profile.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers expecting a sweet, fruity Savanna; the dry herbs, wood and noticeable alcohol can feel harsh or boring if you prefer softer profiles.

Pas mal puissant et epicé
The nose has loads of herbal notes. A general cut herb mix. There's also camomile, currants and an industrial oily note. Very intriguing. The palate is dry. A big hit of the herbs from the nose. There's an almost dockside industrialness to this. Earthy, medicinal and with more conventional caramel and vanilla notes. The finish pivots to olives and licorice with some tannins. Finally, it tastes like its proof. Overall, this is superb. It won't be for everybody but it is for me. It drinks so smoothly for the proof and the flavours keep me coming back for more.
Diesel & green bananas remind me of Caroni
My first Savanna, I was directly in love. But after I tasted the 2007 Rum Nation, this one falls back a bit. Very very tasty and good Savanna, a little more alcoholic and less complex. But has something of everything, fruit, wood, spices and floral notes. Even with increasing experience still a great part
