    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the deep, fruit-led nose—grapefruit, raisin and vanilla with a hint of glue and oak. The 20‑year, 57% cask‑strength Savanna selected by Velier delivers roasted citrus, black tea and dark chocolate on a dry, tannic finish. A distinctive profile that showcases the distillery’s character. Highly rated across 43 reviews, though several mention a firm bitterness, noticeable alcohol in places, and a high price. Only 510 bottles.

    Kastanie Geruch: Zu Beginn rund und aromatisch - typisch Savanna würde ich sagen. Süß und fruchtig nach Rosinen, Trockenfrüchten und tropischen Früchten (Mango). Zudem Vanille und Honig. Riecht sehr lecker. Geschmack: Im Mund zunächst süß nach Trockenfrüchten. Beim Schlucken sehr kräftig, holzig und sehr würzig. Pfeffer, Honig und Trockenfrüchte. Toffee, Leder und Möbelpolitur.. Komplex und lecker. Abgang: Lang und wärmend. Würzig und leicht trocken mit Aromen von Pfeffer, Holz und Trockenfrüchten. . Klasse Rum - ich weiß schon warum Savanna meine Lieblings-Destillerie ist.

    wunderbarer Grand Arome, fehlt aber an etwas Komplexität zu meinen GA Referenzen

    interesting savanna, mid esters, distillery character is present. thanks Dr Django for the sample

    Lange tropisch gereifter Savanna traditionel – meines Erachtens ohne Grand Arôme. Und ich finde das passt so. Mir zumindest. Tee, Fass, Minze und Frucht (Grapefruit, Mandarine, ein paar Beeren) … ich find ihn lecker.
