    How does this rum taste?

    RumX reviewers love the fresh, fruity nose: green apple, yellow fruits and vanilla over light wood, with a cognac-cask touch. The palate stays gentle and balanced—woody, vegetal and lightly sweet—making it an easy sipper neat. While a few find the body a bit thin and the finish short, it's a popular, limited Savanna (840 bottles, 50% ABV) appreciated by 50+ members, inspiring strong buyer confidence.

    The second unshared cask from Savanna for Belgium. Strawberry yoghurt and burnt sugar on the nose and palate. The alcohol is not well integrated. The finish is flat and simply sweet. This is probably Savanna's worst unshared cask to date.

    27.02.2021 A nice blind tasting in a friend's home. Bottles covered in tin foil and only numbers to match up the glass with the bottle. Notes Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, light roasted, or and, coconut, faint smoke, raisin. Palate Balanced, fresh, light wood, orange, coconut, light spicy, faint mint, light vegetal. Finish Medium long, light wood, dried fruit, light orange, faint licorice.

    This Single Cask for Belgium has a rather atypical, full-bodied profile for its young age. The nose is heavily influenced by fruit (raisins, yellow fruit and green apple), but spicy and floral notes balance the profile. It gains in opulence and fruitiness as it airs, but with a skilful balance between sweetness and complexity. A promising Savanna on paper. On the palate, however, there's a sensation of lightness, altered by a diluted edge that spoils the opening. This is a pity, as the fruity markers (yellow fruit, green apple, grape) remain perceptible but are much less aromatic on the palate. Bitterness and greenness take up more space, as do oak and spice. The alcohol could have been better integrated. The finish is very short, with only a faint hint of fruit, soon overtaken by the woody, vegetal influence that adds bitterness. A very changeable profile, a little disconcerting, which could have been aged a little longer to gain in finesse and depth.

    Leider weit entfernt von dem bisherigen Geschmacks- und Geruchsprofil welches ich bei Savanna so schätze. Eher „flach“
