Grand Arôme and HERR high-ester marks from the Indian Ocean

Savanna sits in Bois Rouge in the north of Réunion, a French island in the Indian Ocean, and runs on sugarcane the way a lot of the island does — but its reputation among drinkers comes from the heavy stuff. Alongside a lighter Traditionnel molasses line and some agricole work, the distillery pushes fermentation hard to make high-ester rums under the Grand Arôme, Lontan and HERR labels, the last of which reaches ester counts that put it in Jamaican funk-bomb territory.

Across 329 expressions and more than 8,600 reviews, the community median sits at 8.3/10. The ester-forward bottlings pull the highest scores; the entry-level Traditionnel blends draw politer, lower marks for feeling thin.

Real market price drops instead of discount labels: RumX monitors 40+ shops around the clock. A drop only counts when the bottle price falls below its lowest price of the previous 30 days (at least −5% and −€2) — we never show shops' own strike-through prices.
