    How does this rum taste?

    • Exceptional fruit and ester interplay
    • Complex, ever-changing flavors
    • High cask strength intensity

    Striking waves of strawberry, ripe pineapple, and lush esters launch this limited-release Savanna HERR into standout territory. RumX reviewers call it complex, powerful, and botanically vibrant—layered with mint, medicinal touches, olive, and well-integrated wood. The vibrant fruit funk and cask strength make this a rewarding bottle for adventurous palates. Worth discovering if you’re after deeply expressive, estery rums with serious character.

    "Very good, balanced HERR. But I like the younger and fruitier LMDW better."

    "Edit: Tried the new one from the high-end French restaurant again yesterday. Stick to my rating, but unfortunately this one is a little behind. O.k. o.k. o.k. what a great rum. Big thanks again to SaibotZtar for the cool split. The longer it stands, the better it gets in my opinion. I also tried a few drops of water this time, which is rare. All in all a very good drop, but unfortunately it doesn't make it into the top group."

    "What a monster, a nose full of everything. Ester and red cherries, red fruits other kinds of. A bit of wood and nice. Palate explodes with fruits, herbal fresh notes of awesome. It goes just a bit into it's aging at the end of tasting. A monster and worthy for being the last."

    "Crass Savanna Lord but that was to be expected ... Has taste what of very overripe kiwi, plus neat Wick ice candy, raw tobacco leaves and herbs and olive brine. Personally, it is a little too grassy and could be even fruitier. Nevertheless, a great representative of Savanna Lord in pure form!🤤"
