„Great nose but unfortunately also Relatively thin, here 5% more would have made much... Tasty but unfortunately just too watered down.... Rubber, Armagnac, grape jelly and licorice and menthol are here most dominant but for Savanna relations also directly gone again and a very short finish.“

„A tasting from a while back. A pretty good release and the price matches what you get. Fruity with nice spices and a smoky touch. The empty glass is really nice some mint and licorice.“

„A shy nose but still giving off spicy notes of woody caramel. Tropical fruits on a rubber background. It smells like sweetness. A very soft and pleasant mouth, the rubber is hidden behind yellow fruits. A light and sweet finish with red fruits reminiscent of wine. It's very good and very easy to drink 😉“

„Armagnac well present. Well acidulated and spices in the final... Easy to access...“

„from the Collection Metissage tasted the Fort Dauphin, Maputo and Madras: the Madras stands out for me, already because he is the only one of the three as a Grand Arome just clearly more intense, with wonderful red fruits and butter pastry on the nose. With the other two, I got a lot of grape and wood with the Armagnac finish. The Maputo is a bit too alcoholic on the nose for me with its 64.2%, I almost like the Fort Dauphin diluted to 44.8% better. Unfortunately, this does not work equally on the palate. There the Fort Dauphin seems then but rather thin.“

„The nose is very bewitching and greedy. We start rather strong let's admit it! We find a beautiful bouquet of spices including licorice which takes its leading role. It is also very focused on tropical fruits. The whole encompassed by vanilla, caramel and a woody finesse. On the palate, it is all sweetness and perfect to launch this tasting of the old. We find beautiful spices and woody. And the fruity side brings this general roundness. The finish is medium long on the wood but with a slight bitterness that makes it a little less pleasant.“

„Voilà un rhum très abordable qui offre une belle palette aromatique sur les fruits, les épices douces avec une douceur agréable. J'aimerais bien explorer davantage les rhums vieux de Savanna mais ils sont malheureusement assez rares...“

„👃: 1st nose: slightly burnt caramel, vanilla then notes of raisin, mirabelle plum.2nd nose: the fruity side takes over from the vanilla/caramel side. 👄: typical savanna camphor, caramel then grape and mirabelle fruit.notes of pepper and acidity.the palate is more oily than a creol savanna. Aroma intensity: medium.To conclude: a lovely, very accessible traditional.A nice introduction before rubbing the palate with heavier, higher-alcohol traditional savanna rums.The release price is too high in my opinion, especially for a 50cl format.“

„More accessible than the sister barrel (Maputo), obviously due to the much lower alcohol content. Solid Traditionel, clearly influenced by the cask. While the first sip was quite pleasant, it loses with time, especially in direct comparison to the Maputo.“
