    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.

    Au nez c’est pâtissier et légèrement boisé. Mais on sent déjà que l’on va croquer à pleine dent dans la pomme ! C’est jeune, frais et léger. En bouche, c’est très rond. C’est très doux, l’alcool est parfaitement intégré. On mange une bonne tarte aux pommes de grand mamy ! Sur la finale le HERR tire son épingle du jeu avec sa fraise tagada et l’olive. Les 5 fruits et légumes quotidiens sont engloutis en quelques gorgées. OK, si tu regardes l’étiquettes et que tu vois que c’est un blend contenant du HERR vieilli 5 ans, c’est frustrant car pas assez explosif. Mais c’est top.

    Ik heb de fles nu enkele maanden open staan. Ik vind het wat minder fruitig dan op het begin. Niet zo intensief en vluchtig dan de HERR, maar de aanwezigheid ervan hierin is merkbaar. De rijping op cognac vaten biedt een aangename dimensie die goed uitgebalanceerd is. Ik hou ervan, maar ik kan me voorstellen dat dat niet voor iedereen geldt.

    25/01/2025: tasted @ Liquid Leuven in "De Hoorn". Another nice surprise that day. I don't have much experience yet with rums from Savanna/La Réunion, but I liked this one. Matured in ex-Cognac casks.

    Tasted at Liquid Leuven ‘25 The nose opens fantastically playful with juicy yellow fruits mixed with yoghurt and mid-summer breakfast notes. It develops into dried flowers and those typical Provence candied peaches and apricots, instantly bringing me back to my childhood. It’s young, but fresh and exciting. The palate leans more into red fruits and the sweets get cemented into a more sugary form. It’s spicy with elements of short-steeped oolong tea. For my taste a hair too thin. The finish is pepper-dusted, slightly hot, and very dry. Too short and fueled by brown sugar for my liking. In my opinion not on the level you would expect from an unshared cask, but judged too harshly.
