    Créol Straight Rum from Savanna Distillery in Reunion showcases the richness of sugarcane juice with a high ABV of 67.2%. Distilled in 2019 and limited to 1350 bottles, its aroma is dominated by notes of olive, floral, and vegetal nuances, with underlying rubber and sugarcane hints. The palate reveals intense brown sugar, lime, and vegetal flavors, accompanied by fruity and smoky undertones. As a distinctive white rum, it is recognized for its complexity and bold character, typical of Rhum Agricole, with a long, powerful finish noted for its spicy and herbal profile.

    "This Savanna Créol Straight comes from the 2018 harvest and was bottled in May 2019 after being distilled in the Savalle column at the distillery in Reunion. It’s a Brut de Colonne without any reduction limited to 1350 bottles. Overall a very special Agricole Blanc (in a good way) compared to the ones from the Caribbean."

    "Unfortunately the re tasting of this wasnt as nice as i remembered it. It is still pretty good and a solid savanna, but alas, i have to go down a bit. These unaged Savanna are fun in cocktails, but for much more i struggle to see it. They still become king in a cask!"

    "Eine hochintensive Nase nach salzigen Oliven überwältigen einen fast. Danach kommt noch etwas gesüßte Himbeere dazu. Geschmacklich überwiegt dann brauner Zucker, Kräuter, Pfeffer, etwas saure Limetten und Speck. Der Abgang ist lang und speckig. Muss man mögen. Meins ist es definitiv nicht. Olive in der Nase und Speck im Geschmack fallen zu intensiv und auf negative Art auf."

    "Tasted in the Savanna Tasting at the 11th GRF and perhaps the best of the line-up. Times quite exciting, but also no highlight in the field of white rum."
