    How does this rum taste?

    • Smooth and balanced flavor profile
    • Limited edition exclusivity
    • Pleasant aromatic nose

    The "Collection Métissage Fort Dauphin" Rum hails from Reunion Island's revered Savanna Distillery, showcasing a meticulously crafted spirit distilled in 2003 and aged for 16 years. This limited release of only 834 bottles features an ABV of 44.8%. Users highlight its aromatic nose with dominant caramel, woody, and spiced notes, complemented by underlying hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The palate offers a harmonious fusion of spices and licorice, intertwined with woody and subtle menthol flavors. Though praised for its smooth, elegant profile, some feel the body lacks depth, potentially benefiting from a higher ABV. Overall, it provides a refined but slightly subdued drinking experience, blending tradition with complex flavors, ideal for collectors or connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated rum.

    "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."

    "Relativ unspektakulär. Etwas Holz, etwas dunkle Trauben vom Armagnac. Passiert nicht viel im Glas. Dadurch sehr entspannt zum trinken."

    "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."

    "Un Savanna qui fait primer la douceur et l’expérience de l’âge. On y trouve un nez parfumé, doux et agréable. Le raisin, les fruits secs et tropicaux s’accordent avec les épices, l’amande et le caramel pour donner quelque chose d’harmonieux. Il manque peut-être un peu d’angle pour avoir un peu plus de tonicité dans les narines L’attaque en bouche est très douce. Le côté dilué qui ressort avec la douceur rend le jus assez mince. Il lui manque un peu de corps pour se démarquer. Raisin, pomme acidulée, agrumes et fruits tropicaux forment un côté fruité assez subtil qui se dissimule derrière un voile épicé plus marqué (poivre, cannelle, réglisse, piment). Le chocolat, le caramel et les notes d’armagnac accentuent la rondeur. Quelques degrés supplémentaires auraient permis au rhum d’être plus vivant. La finale est longue mais peu intense, avec des arômes assez similaires qui reviennent, notamment le raisin, les fruits secs, le boisé épicé avec des notes rôties et du cuir. Un profil qui a du charme et de l’âge, mais qui s’essouffle un peu par rapport à d’autres cuvées dans le même style."
