Savanna Collection Métissage Madras

"Horny Savanna Chai Humide! Creamy, buttery, intense violet, overripe strawberry."

"once again a great bottling from Savanna, Grand Arome with such vol.% rarely disappoint"

"Sehr guter Grand Arôme!"

"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."

"Un Savanna expressif avec beaucoup d’intensité. Le nez se révèle sur des notes de fruits rouges très mûrs (fraise), des fruits jaunes et tropicaux ainsi que des raisins. L’olive est également très présente, avec un côté médicinal et salé. Le boisé, les épices (vanille, cannelle, poivre) et le caramel finalisent les détails d’un profil olfactif très travaillé. L’attaque en bouche est riche et puissante. Les fruits très mûrs sur la fraise, la cerise, l’ananas et la pêche forment le fer de lance du profil au palais. On retrouve l’olive, un boisé toasté, des épices ainsi que des notes de café, de cacao et de caramel avec une trame légèrement médicinale. L’alcool est présent, mais globalement très bien intégré. La finale est longue, sur des notes poivrées assez chaudes et des fruits toujours aussi présents. Le côté fermenté, médicinal et astringent ressort un peu plus, sans être désagréable. Un superbe Savanna, au caractère bien trempé et qui maîtrise son sujet."

"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."

"Mmhh genau nein Fall. Sehr Fruchtig würzig Blumig in der Nase ein Hauch Menthol/Minze macht ihn leicht Frisch . Am Gaumen Erdbeeren, Mango Papaya Ananas... leicht Pfeffrig etwas Röstaromen und Kakao (dunkle Schokolade) . Gefällt extrem gut."

"Here I had great expectations and they were not disappointed! The nose is still a little restrained but on the palate there is then a firework of aromas, very good!"

"The rum needs time in the glass, then it develops its potential!He was definitely one of the best in yesterday's tasting!alcohol perfectly integrated!"

"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."

"Sacré moment, intense, complexe, tout ce dont on a besoin, avec le fût qui a vraiment dompté le grand arôme et lui a apporté une patine sur l’encens et le bois de santal qui se marient à merveille."

"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."
