Wild, salty, herbal Savanna blanc

Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike olive, smoky-meaty or medicinal notes in their rum and prefer soft, sweet sippers.

Smell: Sour berry grits with blackberries and currants ... Sugar cane juice ... ... and anise and Indian spices. Taste: Spicy hot in the mouth, while slightly sweet. When swallowed extremely spicy, alcoholic and spicy. Very strong highly aromatic and intense flavor. Aromas of plant sap and herbs with anise, also slightly sweet and fruity (berries). In terms of taste, a typical Rhum Agricole. Finish: Very long, intensely spicy, medicinal-herbal, alcoholic and dry. Dry astringent aftertaste. After some time intense licorice. Burns extremely la
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.
Hui, if you know what you're getting into, the nose is exciting and interesting.... very fruity, very artificial, very intense. First, an alcoholic honey sweetness towards mead. Fermented fruit, almost vinegar. There's a mix of grape, yellow plum and some lychee with a medicinal overtone. Distinctly veg towards olive and saffron at the back.Surprisingly spicy-smoky-fruity-sweet on the palate. Lime zest with an herbal green twist. Something like mace and saffron, bitter.Very interesting at the end.
