    How does this rum taste?

    The Collection Métissage Canton, produced at Savanna Distillery in Reunion, offers a unique rum experience with its molasses-based distillate aged for 12 years. Released as a limited edition with just 300 bottles at cask strength (55.1% ABV), this rum's aroma features notes of caramelized wood, toasted cocoa, and vanilla. On the palate, it presents a robust woody taste enriched with caramel, chocolate, and a hint of pepper and orange peel. Although some users noted its flavor complexity and rich character, others found the profile atypical and slightly overpowering due to its high alcohol content. Overall, it's an interesting draw for those who appreciate distinctive rum profiles outside of the standard Savanna range.

    sehr entäuschend, verglichen zum Preis.

    Un Savanna particulier et déroutant de prime abord. Le nez évoque plusieurs choses. On ressent d’abord le côté fruité sur les fruits secs (raisin) puis les fruits jaunes (abricot, pêche) puis la pomme et la cerise (ou la figue) sur un ton très mûr. Le côté épicé évoque le cumin, avec un ton légèrement herbacé, avant que n’apparaissent des notes toastées, boisées et caramélisées. On est sur la catégorie des rhums traditionnels de l’île, mais c’est loin d’être un profil type. L’attaque en bouche est sombre et vive. Le côté épicé ressort énormément dans les premiers instants (réglisse, gingembre, vanille, poivre) avec une bonne dose de boisé et de fumé qui viennent comme asphyxier le palais. Le caramel et le chocolat noir donnent un peu de rondeur avec les fruits, qui sont assez variés (fruits secs, fruits rouges, fruits jaunes, le tout assez mûr). L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est dans le même registre, collante, opulente et assez empyreumatique. Le fruité ressort également pour donner de la sucrosité. L’amertume se fait également ressentir avec une pointe de mélasse et un côté plus sec. Un Savanna original qui montre l’étendue de la gamme que propose la distillerie.

    Nase ist schon nicht verkehrt... Dunkle Früchte, Karamell, Kakao und etwas Lakritz ... Alkohol kaum wahrnehmbar. Am Gaumen sehr ähnlich der Nase nur irgendwie sehr schnell wieder weg und mir fehlt etwas das besondere ... Abgang Schokolade und etwas Lakritz und gut Bitterstoffe. PLV passt hier für mich nicht.

    30.03.2022 Sampling a bit at home. Notes Dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, light caramel, faint chocolate, light anise, light orange. Palate Oily, light spicy, wood, light roasted, faint chocolate, light caramel, light orange, fruits, light orange. Finish Medium to long, light wood, fruits, light orange, spice, medium spicy, faint chocolate. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will be overpowering the nice flavours.
