Dark, Armagnac-tinged Savanna with roasted spice, cocoa and raisin over oak. Powerful cask strength; many enjoy the long, spicy finish, though some note alcohol heat and slight bitterness without rest.

    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.

    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.

    Exkellenter Traditionell mit perfektem Armagnac-Finish! Sehr lecker.

    fort dauphin #989: Diese Abfüllung ist etwas für die Sammler. Die Aromensuche gestaltet sich beim Verkosten als äußerst beschwerlich. Kandierte Früchte, etwas Fruchtjoghurt, sehr leicht am Gaumen mit einem kurzen Abgang. Der Alkohol ist trotz der niedrigen abv nicht gut eingebunden. wild island #985: guter fruchtiger Antritt mit etwas Holz und kandierten hellen Früchten. vergorenes Obst in Abgang, ebenso Gebäck und Fruchtjoghurt. tolles mundgefühl und ein schöner mittellanger abgang täuschen nicht über den mit anderen tollen savannas vergleichsweise verhaltener aromenintensität. Große Schlücke machen hier viel Spaß am Genuß und weniger beim Blick auf das Portemonnaie. 84 Pkt wild island #984: schwacher Antritt, vergorenes Obst, deutlich mehr als bei Cask 985, dafür aber auch wesentlich weniger Frucht und Volumen am gaumen. Der Abgang ist auch relativ lang und die absolute Stärke, hier kommt etwas das fass durch. 85 Pkt. wild island #987: ähnlich schwach wie 989. Etwas holziger und bitterer, als die kollegen aus dem tasting. Cognac/armagnac im finish sehr deutlich. Der Abgang ist absolut klasse und hebt den Rum auf ein völlig neues Level. Hätte hier blind vllt. auf einen Agricole getippt. gefällt mir 83 Pkt madras #496: Jawoll! Geiles Teil! Von der Nase, bis zu. Antritt, im Abgang wird er etwas dünn (Meckern auf hohem Niveau). Eine sehr gute Balance zwischen Frucht und Holz, wunderVOLLES Mundgefühl. Klar, der Vergleich zu den Kollegen ist etwas unfair, da wir hier einen gute. Grand Arome haben. I love it! 89 Maputo #988: Mit Assoziationen zu Cask 987, nur wesentlich besser. Alles intensiver und besser abgestimmt. toller Rum! 87-88

    A comparatively roasty Savanna representative, which in my opinion speaks for the exciting range of the distillery. Apart from that, in addition to the roasted notes mentioned, there is primarily some fruit, wood and vanilla sweetness from the cask. Good, but not a Savanna that I would want a bottle of.
