How does this rum taste?
Most love its crazy complexity, Hampden-fueled funk and explosive but well-integrated cask strength. A few find it demanding or too herbal. Consensus: one of the top modern Savanna Grand Arômes.
If you enjoy Savanna Grand Arôme or funky Hampden, this pushes both styles together in a balanced but intense way—perfect when you’re ready for a serious high-ester challenge.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike funky, briny, herbal profiles and prefer soft, sweet, easygoing rums.

Peut être le meilleur Savanna jamais goûté! La finition de 2 ans en fût de Hampden ne trahit pas le travail en ex cognac de la distillerie et lui apporte une touch de funk supplémentaire. Merci à Cris Iniacio de m’avoir fait goûté ça 🥹
We get a whiff of solvent in our nostrils, am I at work synthesizing Butyl Acetate or at a rum tasting? Typical Savanna olive, tart apple and fermenting grape juice, fresh mint. The nose is more than promising, I love these solvent scents! On the palate, it's explosive but perfectly integrated. It's even rather round and greedy for almost 60% under the hood! Green olive, menthol and tangy fruit are the hallmarks of the nose. Hints of exotic fruits from Jamaica.
❗💥🇷🇪WOW! What a blast, long had nothing more under the nose what goes so in different directions.... The Jamaica Hampden barrel which was used for the "finish" makes itself very noticeable here in any case and brings a completely new dimension of complexity. One moment strawberry and pineapple, then again smoke and caramel, then again some candied apple and grape jelly, then freshly baked brioche with apricot jelly and after a long time to breathe join again notes of dried olives, tomatoes, peppers and chili and some thyme to it, underpinned by a menthol...In the taste then similar only not quite so vegetable, alcohol content extremely well integrated and dangerously drinkable... an absolute explosion in the mouth! The really fun!🤤
Sacrée complexité !! Et belle explosion en bouche
