How does this rum taste?
Explosive strawberry‑pineapple Savanna funk
If you enjoy Long Pond TECA or other big ester bombs, this is Savanna’s take: same wild intensity, but with a unique strawberry-cherry twist and impressive balance at full strength.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or anyone who dislikes very funky, medicinal or strawberry-forward rums.
A great rum. A great nose, where the alcohol serves the aromas. The mouth is lively and complicated to decipher, but very successful. At the level of the Jamaicans.

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.
