    What stands out most for reviewers is the prominent apple note, with many likening the aroma and palate to Calvados influence. Alongside the fruitiness, you'll find grassy and vegetal tones, roasted tobacco, and an earthy, woody depth that balances the livelier notes. It's often enjoyed neat to appreciate its complexity and cask strength. Fans highlight its creativity and recommend it to anyone seeking a distinctive, limited-release agricole—especially if you savor apple-forward rums.

    Le calvados a bien marqué ce rhum. C'est assez impressionnant. Ça plaît ou non mais j'ai trouvé ça pas mal.

    Voici un rhum agricole brut de fut affiné en fut de calvados venant de la Réunion. Un profil atypique pour cet île qui produit principalement du rhum traditionnel fait à base de mélasse. On peut dire que la distillerie Savanna peut faire preuve de créativité en proposant, en plus de l'agricole et traditionnel, un rhum grand arome. Au nez on retrouve bien sur la pomme avec des odeurs de tarte tatin agrémenté d'amandes effilés. En bouche, une tecture "huileuse" avec la pomme qui se fait plus présente. On reste sur quelque chose de très douce malgré les watts qui lui donnent une belle longueur.

    Un beau rhum de Savanna tourné sur la pomme et les épices. Une certaine amertume cependant mais très maîtrisée !

    This one scored a bit less than the previous one, but it's still a very good rum. The nose is lightly fruity with a more vegetal and grassy note. Like walking in the moores in the morning. There is also spice and wet tobacco as well and a hint of oak. The palate is a bit sweet, complex and oily (draws nice curtains) with fruit and earthy notes. Tobacco and smoky oak is here as well and compliments the overall palate. The finish is long with tobacco and smoky oak and in the back i pick up some peat.
