Velier Savanna Indian Ocean Stills

Distinct alcohol note, which hardly diminishes even after a longer period. Rather unspectacular and edgy compared to standard Savannas. Also not really complex. Bitter although the wood does not predominate is special.

The alcohol is not integrated. Taste of Savanna unshared cask is there, but too much alcohol over it Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili.

Better than the Indian Ocean sister bottling of Chamarel, but also here comes across a little too less that lifts the rum over the threshold of sheer complaisance. Although there are a little more edges and corners (worth mentioning is the interplay of black tea with the fruity notes, which leads to an interesting melange of fruit, spice and bitter notes) - but in the end the whole remains a little too little complex. Probably a few more years of storage would have helped to enhance the flavor profile - so the rum remains too unspectacular to be remembered.

An diesem Savanna scheiden sich die Geister, bzw. finden ihn die meisten Connaisseure hier gar nicht mal so gut. Ich hatte ihn schon mehrmals im.Glas und fand ihn sehr gut. Heute schmecke ich zum ersten mal eine deutliche Alkoholnote heraus. Dem werd ich immer wieder eine Chance geben.

This one is pretty good especially when looking at the price tag at release. Fruity and fresh as well as warm on the palate once rested for a good while. I love the roasted almost burned wood notes on the profile.

This is rough. The nose is so closed. I really don't get it. Blind you would never guess savanna. Where is any fruit just acidity and wood. I am so amazed by the difference..even the relatively cheap prices don't justify this

So ganz überzeugt hat er mich jetzt nicht. Er hat einen interessanten Geschmack, aber für mich ist er zu unausgewogen und der Alkohl ist nicht allzu gut integriert wie ich es erwartet habe. Leider war mir der Geschmack zu beißend. Danke an Jarek für das Sample.

A sub par savanna, with an unpleasant roasted side that do not pair well with its profile. Tasted again in late 2024, with more time to delve on it. It has a nice complexity and it is packed with savanna typical flavours, black olives and brine especially.

L’alcool c’è e si sente tutto, anche se con bicchiere Savanna un po’ più ampio risulta meno pungente rispetto al Glencaien. Ad ogni modo i 61 gradi picchiano soprattutto alla prima sorsata. Naso e palato sono corrispondenti e coerenti anche se è un prodotto che organoletticamente fa a cazzotti. Sento noce erbacee ed allo stesso tempo sentori di amarene. Note amaricanti e dolci si alternano soprattutto nel finale che trovo esser L parte più gradevole della bevuta.

Peach black tea with a lot of glue and varnish! pretty funky on the nose, in the taste then something a little charred and after salty dark chocolate with strong black tea and licorice. overall but somewhat unbalanced and still right "Brandig" sharp...

The Road Rummers Africa tasting Very soft nose. Only thing i'm getting is a bit of Calvados. In the mouth you get spices and black thea wich develop in red fruits mainly cherry. The finish is rather medicinal for me. Overal rather dissapointing rum, but not that bad. Nice for tasting not for buying.
