Velier Savanna Warren Khong Villa Paradisetto 1999 20yr 57%
The Warren Khong Villa Paradisetto rum, crafted at Reunion's Savanna distillery and bottled by Velier, blends well-aged molasses with distinct tasting profiles. Distilled in 1999 using a column still and aged for 20 years, this limited release (510 bottles) offers complex aromas of glue and barrel, and flavors reminiscent of black tea, chocolate, and roasted notes. Bottled at cask strength (57% ABV), it is admired for its fruity and spicy nose, but with mixed feedback on bitterness and integration of alcohol. Despite its sophisticated profile, some find its price excessive, suggesting limited accessibility.

“Very wonderful nose! Some harmonious notes of fruits (a lot of grapefruit), roasted aromas, almond and oak. In mouth and the finish can‘t continue from the warm welcome! I like the bitte, grapefruit notes. A big minus is the actually price tag of 400€ too. The alcohol could be integrated better. Nose: glue, fruity, mandarin, raisin, oak, vanilla, spicy, roasted, almond, toffee and some herbal notes Mouth: dry, bitter, round, tannins, licorice, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, oak, vanilla, spicy, grapefruit, nougat, earthy(not the agricole typical one), black tea Finish: Medium long, bitter, tannins, dry, grapefruit, barrel(oak), vanilla roasted”

“Sehr schöne Savanna Abfüllung von Velier. Danke für den Dram an Dominic beim Sampletausch. Meines Erachtens ist aber die Nase anfangs sehr verhalten. Denke er braucht einfach mehr Zeit im Glas. Hab ja noch ein Sample zum nachprobieren. Das einzige ist wieder der Preis, der für mich zu hoch angesetzt ist.”

“An intriguing Savanna with a versatile profile and an established reputation. The nose is superb, deep and elegant, very fruity (green apple, yellow fruit, grape, dried fruit), with lovely spicy notes (cinnamon, pepper) and a touch of pastry and glue. The woodiness blends with El tabac and roasted notes. A very elaborate olfactory profile. The attack on the palate is more lively and incisive. Spices take precedence with woody notes, black tea, but above all a sensation of bitterness that emerges with cocoa, dark chocolate and licorice. Roasted notes amplify this sensation of dryness on the palate. The alcohol is well integrated, but the profile is perhaps more concentrated and less balanced. The finish continues this tannic, dry, smoky length. The bitterness is well present, with dark chocolate, oak notes and spices (pepper, chili, licorice). A lovely Savanna that explores different horizons between nose and palate, but perhaps lacks a touch of overall coherence to reach the heights.”
