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.

Probiert im Savanna Tasting auf dem 11. GRF und vielleicht der beste aus dem Line-Up. Mal ganz spannend, aber auch kein Highlight im Bereich des weißen Rums.

Himbeere an der Nase ohne Ende am Anfang, dazu kommt später etwas olive und leicht pflanzliche Noten. sehr intensiv und konzentriert. geschmacklich dann eine Wucht aus gleichzeitig Salzig, bitteren und süßen Aromen bisschen wie ricola Bonbons mit Beerengeschmack, dazu etwas rauchig speckiges und florales. im Abgang wird er mir dann pur persönlich zu metallisch medizinisch und auch etwas alkoholisch was bei 67% aber auch kein Wunder ist. im daiquiri macht er auch nicht ganz so ne gute Figur wie der 52% creol der mir insgesamt auch harmonischer war und besser gefallen hat. dennoch spannend!

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.

Geruch: Saure Beerengrütze mit Brombeeren und Johannisbeeren ... Zuckerrohrsaft ... ... und Anis und indische Gewürze. Geschmack: Würzig scharf im Mund, dabei leicht süß. Beim Schlucken extrem würzig, alkoholisch und scharf. Sehr kräftiger hoch aromatischer und intensiver Geschmack. Aromen von Pflanzensaft und Kräutern mit Anis, zudem leicht süß und fruchtig (Beeren). Vom Geschmack her ein typischer Rhum Agricole. Abgang: Sehr lang, intensiv würzig, medizinisch-kräuterig, alkoholisch und trocken. Trocken adstringierender Nachgeschmack. Nach einiger Zeit intensive Lakritze. Brennt extrem la
