“Beautiful representative of the Grand Arôme world of Savanna with a classic profile, which, however, in direct comparison with the very large Grand Arôme bottlings of the distillery can not quite keep up. Instead, there are even more rough edges here, but they are a little to the detriment of the balance of the individual flavors.”

“Wow, this one was a nice surprise. I do know that Savanna has a relatively high bar on their aged releases, but sometimes you just sit there and really enjoy sipping a rum. Very fruity and fresh with spices and a good balance with the roasted wood notes. I love the floral hint in the profile. Price to quality is very good in my mind.”

“A superb nose. A mouth less to my taste, too sour and on the red fruits. A medium finish, not very pleasant, spicy and with an olive too present.”

“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.”

“Al naso è esplosivo con fermentato/maturati, solvente, zucchero tostato, tanta frutta di diverso genere (fragola, ciliegia, ananas e altri tropicali), anche cioccolato, liquirizia, un pelo di legno. Al palato conserva il fermentato/esteri, ci sono note arrostite a cui si aggiungono i sentori fruttati come melone, fragola, ciliegia e ananas, poi qualcosa di floreale, pepe e un po' di legno e pelle (non ho trovato le olive). Il finale è bello lungo e persistente. Wow è magnifico nella sua complessità e varietà aromatica, l'abv è integratissimo, rimane nonostante tutto abbastanza rotondo. Nel bicchiere vuoto arrostito e fermentato. Bella scoperta, grazie ad Hendrick per l'occasione.”

“Kommt nicht ganz an meine Grand Arome Referenz heran, aber auch hier kriegt man, was man erwartet. Ein Aromenfeuerwerk.”

“One of the best rums I have ever tasted. An esterbomb with the classic grand arome-profile. Rotten strawberries on the nose, which is actually a compliment. On the palate I get a lot of the rotten fruit, varnish, nail polish and spices. It lasts a very long time, and if I forget to put my empty glass in the dishwasher, the whole apartment reeks of this excellent stuff.”
