Savanna The Wild Island Edition - Forêt

Heavy on tropical fruit, olive, and menthol, this Grand Arome brings a bold, well-integrated funk with depth from wood and caramel. One to try if you enjoy ripe fruit and estery spirits.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Aromenspektakel ala Grand Arome
    • nice menthol touch... from nose to finish
    • obviously fruity and estery

    Savanna’s Wild Island Edition - Forêt delivers the distillery’s noted fruity funk in full swing. Expect vibrant waves of overripe pineapple, banana, and strawberry, layered with strawberry candy, menthol, olive, and tobacco. The nose is packed with tropicals and a touch of glue, while the palate brings more of that characteristic Savanna strawberry and a dose of sweet caramel and wood. As Dr.Django puts it: "Ein Aromenspektakel ala Grand Arome," while Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰 mentions its "nice menthol touch... from nose to finish." A gently bitter, woody edge and long finish underline its Grand Arome credentials, with several users highlighting its excellent complexity.

    "An aroma spectacle ala Grand Arome from Savanna. Fruity and astringent, the typical strawberry yoghurt note is conspicuous here in the fruity aroma universe. This Savanna is simply wonderfully palatable, astringent, mouth-filling, crazy... What a board of flavors and elegant at the same time, which I rarely find with GA. Outstanding! Before I forget: the alcohol is perfectly integrated."

    "This one was my favourite and it has a nice menthol touch to it from nose to finish. The nose is very nice and fruity with tobacco and menthol. I do pick up a light wooden note as well. The palate is lightly sweet and bitter with fruit and menthol. In the back i pick up oak, caramel, marzipan and tobacco. The finish is long and fruity with leather, oak and menthol. "
