Swell de Spirits Savanna HERRLINE No. 2 (Selected by Swell de Spirits) TH1 2017
Swell de Spirits Savanna HERRLINE No. 2 (Selected by Swell de Spirits) TH1 2017Fruit-bomb Savanna ester, short dry finish
French curator chasing high-ester funk from Savanna, Hampden and beyond
Swell de Spirits is a French independent bottler that leans hard into ester-driven rum — the kind that jumps out of the glass with tropical fruit, olives, brine and solvent. The catalogue runs from Réunion’s Savanna (their HERRLINE and Grand Arôme picks) to Jamaica’s Hampden and New Yarmouth, Trinidad’s T.D.L, Le Galion in Martinique and even Fiji and a Mexican high-ester experiment.
Across 3,009 reviews the community sits at a median of 8.5/10, and the tone is warm. People trust the house for loud, characterful casks bottled at cask strength rather than polite easy-sippers. When something misses — a flat palate, a short finish — reviewers say so, but the hit rate on the flagship Savanna and Hampden lines keeps the fans coming back.

Which bottling is the better one is decided neither by price nor by the age on the label. Here they stand side by side, sorted by the community's median rating. The number of ratings sits next to it: a high score from few voices says less than a middling one from many.
70 bottlings meet the minimum rating count; the 24 best-rated are shown. The rest are in the grid below.
Only bottlings with at least 10 ratings are included. Anything below that is not a sound basis for comparison.
Single cask bottlings often carry the year of distillation. The vintage page shows what else went into cask that same year.
