How does this rum taste?
Most love its explosive high-ester strawberry‑cherry fruit, herbal funk and great balance at huge strength. Critics find it slightly less fruity than other HERRs but still elite. Consensus: top‑tier Savanna.
If you’re into Long Pond TECA, other Savanna HERRs or big Jamaican funk, this will hit the spot—same wild ester fireworks, just with a red‑fruit, strawberry twist and serious depth.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or solventy/olive funk, and drinkers looking for soft, sweet, easygoing sippers rather than aggressive, complex pot‑still agricole profiles.

Thé best savanna I tasted so far ! unique!
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.
Wow. Everything happens there. Long Pond Teca is the most similar style I can think of. Just young and fruity. Great stuff, there's so much going on at the back. Eucalyptus, incense, bananas, red cherries, esters, chemicals, meat, smoke. Wow. The price is completely justifiable.
Grilled pineapple, neat ester. Alcohol wonderfully integrated. Simply delicious.
