Savanna LMDW 60 Years HERR 2006

Frederic is a passionate Savanna fan and shares his favorite bottlings with us.

Best for: Savanna Grand Arôme and high-ester fans
The reference Savanna HERR for most who tried it — intense, singular, brilliantly balanced for the proof. You have to love the ester-candy style, and a rare few can't.

Best for: ester chasers and Jamaican pot-still fans
Owners are all in: a top-tier Savanna Grand Arôme, easier to drink than its Jamaican cousins yet just as loud. If you want subtlety, look elsewhere.

Best for: Fans of fruity, spiced high-ester island rum at cask strength
Most tasters love how fruity and balanced this Grand Arôme is, with warm spice and old-leather notes. The one catch: fans of bigger Savanna esters find it slightly restrained.

Best for: Fans of high-ester Savanna and big tropical fruit
Most call it a top-tier Savanna — mango, esters and caramel with real depth. A couple find it slightly edgy or too whisky-like, and the fruit fades as it sits.

Best for: Agricole fans who want a heavy apple, Calvados-cask twist
Most love how the apple-forward Calvados finish sits over the grassy Savanna base without dominating. A couple found it hot or a little bitter early, and one shrugged it off as nothing special.

Best for: Fans of dry, cognac-cask traditional rum
Well-liked as an elegant, cognac-influenced traditional Savanna with dried fruit and spice. The recurring gripe: a short, quick finish, and it lacks the classic Savanna funk.

Best for: high-ester fans and funk chasers
The fruit-gum funk wins most people over — loud, wild and easy to love at 57%. A few find the fermented, salty finish too much.

Best for: funk fans who don't mind sweetness
Most tasters find it genuinely different and like it — heavy, estery, fruity funk. The recurring gripe: the added sweetness gets syrupy and flattens the finish.

Best for: Grand Arôme funk lovers who want esters, glue and roasted wood
Widely loved as one of the top 2006 Savannas — big ester funk, fruit and roasted wood, well-integrated heat. A few find the palate a bit bitter or metallic versus the gorgeous nose.

Best for: Agricole and pure-juice fans wanting a savory, terroir-driven white rum
People rate it well for its atypical, savory Réunion profile — cane, olive, smoke and citrus. The anise/licorice note and salty edge divide tasters; a few prefer it mixed.
