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“"

"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. "
