    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this Savanna for its concentrated, dark profile where the Armagnac influence layers roasted spice, cocoa and raisin over firm oak. At 64.2% cask strength, it’s intense with a long, spicy finish, often opening beautifully with time or a touch of water. A limited release of 822 bottles and popular on RumX (60 reviews, strong buyer confidence), it’s a distinctive choice for complex sipping.

    Savanna Maputo Wild Island 2ème série. Il s'agit d'un rhum traditionnel donc de mélasse avec un vieillissement tropical durant 16 ans affiné en fûts de cognac. C'est le frère jumeau du Savanna Fort Dauphin mais la comparaison s'arrête là tellement leurs profils sont différents. Le Maputo titre à un degré d'alcool beaucoup plus élevé (64.2 degrés). Il s'agit de mon Savanna préféré concernant cette 2ème série de par sa singularité. Je n'ai pas connaissance d'un savanna ayant un profil aussi proche de certains Guyana Skeldon ou Enmore. En effet, une fois les notes de solvants passées après une bonne aération, des notes de caramel, de café et de chocolat dominent les débats. Une note de fraîche et fruitée de raisin vient équilibrer le tout. Bref ce Maputo est un vrai coup de cœur et fait partie de mon top 3 des rhums traditionnels hors grand arôme que j'ai goûté chez Savanna.

    Okay :D I can’t explain, but this one tastes like red color. It is sensual but wild. Savana just can’t be a miss. There is some tar at the end. I also feel jelly cherries from Haribo. Grapes, licorice too.

    One of the best savanna traditional rum ❤️💪

    Really cool how much Savanna & Armagnac harmonize. Lots of wood, lots of spices, some glue, red chili flakes with dark chocolate raisin, pink grapefruit, red grapes and baked banana, as well as dark chocolate cookies. The finish is also a little bitter, astringent and with lots of tannins and glue, menthol and overripe banana and strong mocha, as well as really dark dark chocolate. Alcohol is very well integrated and really fun to drink. Very drinkable for a Savanna! For me, this is definitely the current benchmark when it comes to Savanna in an Armagnac cask.
