Honey, ripe pear and banana up front, then toasted oak, vanilla and a little coffee-chocolate bitterness on the way out. A small splash of Grand Arôme adds tropical fruit and light funk. Most people find it round, mild and genuinely easy to drink — the recurring gripe is that at 45% it feels watered down and thin, with flavors that fade fast. A gentle door into Savanna.
The community says- Round and balanced
- Easy daily sipper
- Keep in mind: Feels diluted

How does Savanna Rhum Traditionnel Le Must taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Mild, fruity Savanna entry, a touch thin Members agree it's a friendly, well-blended entry to Savanna — round and fruity with real balance. The near-universal catch: too diluted and thin, with a short finish. Many wish it were bottled stronger.

26.09.2025 Tasting with Savanna, while in Paris for the Whisky Live 2025. ---------- A bit sad that they watered it so far down because some of the flavors are really light. Would have preferred a higher ABV for more powerful flavours. Fruity with floral notes and roasted wood but a bit too light.

Really nice nose of ripe apples, tropical fruits, and intense spices and gingerbread. Quite promising. Personally, a bit too woody and herbal on the palate and also a bit too thin. The finish brings slightly salty notes along with apple chips, white chocolate, and tannins from the oak barrel. A few more % ABV would certainly have helped to intensify the flavors a bit. Doesn't quite hit my taste. But it's definitely an easy sipping rum... Good for beginners. However, a bit too expensive for that.
Review by Eric Frechin
Very good for starting to discover Savanna rums, especially for a beginner. It's easy to drink thanks to its roundness of fruit, caramel, vanilla, and light woodiness. The share of grand arôme gives it a bit of complexity without overwhelming.
Review by Thunderbird
For me, a beginner's guide to savannarum! It offers a lot, but unfortunately only in the beginning! It's too thin to be really convincing, maybe as a sipper it still fits. Tasted again on 26.09.25 at the RumX-Savanna tasting
Review by Galli33
Thanks to the RumX Team for this great opportunity!! Unfortunately, I missed the only tasting due a delayed flight… This one took the third place in my tasting, very fruity, with some nice notes of furniture waxes, bitter orange and honey. A really nice daily driver, without looling on the price tag!
Review by Jakob
Savanna Masterclass for RumX July 2024/September 2025: On the nose with inviting freshness and fruity aromas, which don’t go to the usual extremes of Grand Arômes. On the palate the aroma spectrum extends and gains some bitter barrel notes. An appealing standard rum that doesn’t lack charm and also offers an excellent entry into the Savanna world thanks to its price level.
Review by Rene Nielsen
Tasting 19/4-24 Peters vin. Nose: Some different flowery notes, caramel, a little spicies. Tast: A light rum, some Spice, little grassy notes, little smoke. The abv should have been higher. Finish: some light smoke, bitternes and pepper.
Review by zabo
Finally found some time to taste it again. Once again, a big thank you to the RumX team for the great masterclass, during which I had to say goodbye after a few minutes. As for the rum itself, a nice easy sipper that would have benefited from a few more turns.
Review by SaibotZtar
Fruity fresh nose with some vanilla and honey, a bit of banana and a hint of mango. Here you can clearly feel the dilution... At first it almost seems watery... then some fruitiness, vanilla and light woody notes come through. All in all okay but nothing you need, not even a must-have for mixing for me anyway.
Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose, the first impression is of a small fruit salad in syrup. At first, pear, mango and cherry are quite fresh and pale, protecting themselves in the shade of a small film of crunchy sugar. With aeration, the lightness and freshness are retained, but the fruit is enveloped in a toasty woodiness, itself covered by a thin layer of sweet-spiced honey. This light patina tempers the toasty character of the oak, preserving the delicacy of the fruit.The second nose is nicer-8,5. 8,2:The mouth is more complex than we could have imagined, and shows several facets in fractions of a second. Let's try slow motion to see what happens. First, the toasty woodiness sends up a small cloud of sweet spices, which come to rest on a bed of roasted, caramelized pecans. Then, the fruit salad encountered on the nose is baked, the fruit becomes stronger, more tropical, more caramelized, its pits resurfacing.Light smokiness arises. 8:The finish is both roasted and pastry-like, with pits and red fruit tannins, followed by a layer of ripe exotic fruit that maintains the length. Edit:12.8,26
Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this rum at the Sweden Rum Fest 2026. It’s a small-batch rum that’s a blend of traditional column-distilled molasses rum with some high-ester Grande Arome rum added. It’s tropical aged for up to 9 years in ex-Cognac casks. The nose is complex, fruity, sweet, spicy, woody, buttery, ripe and slightly funky with scents of banana, pear, peach, citrus, apple, honey, caramel, vanilla, ginger and oak. At the palate it’s elegant, complex, balanced, sweet, fruity, spicy and woody with flavors of honey, caramel, toffee, orange, mango, vanilla, pepper, oak, chocolate, cocoa and coffee. They finish rather long.
Review by Christian Rudt
RumX Savanna Masterclass 12.7. Even today, the le must makes a very round impression, a light sipping rum that would benefit from a little less water. This leaves us with a very good impression and the hope of a somewhat stronger version in the future First tasting: Great, slightly medicinal nose, very roundly blended and correspondingly nice to drink
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Number two in the RumX tasting and also my second tasting after the GRF. While I really appreciate the white Metis for its special profile, this one is a bit very unremarkable - despite a share of Grande Arome. The rum is undoubtedly well made, but I wouldn't know what to do with it. Neat it's too simple and too woody for me, mixed it's too expensive.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 11th GRF in the Savanna Tasting: a newcomer to the Savanna world, nothing more... Update in the RumX-Masterclass: Beautiful blend that delivers the typical Savanna characteristics. Blend of Traditional and Grand Arome
Review by Tim
I really liked this Savanna rum, the nose is the best thing about this rum! Nice combination of fruit, spices, chocolate, and even herbs in the finish. However, on the palate, it feels too thin and somewhat sharp at the same time. For the price, the overall package works, even though the quality level is obviously higher elsewhere.
Review by Serge
Re-tasting the Savanna Masterclass we missed ... Immediately worlds better than the Métis. Spicy, mature, caramelly, full-bodied. You can drink it on its own, but I still think of it more as a mixer.
Review by cigares
Savanna Masterclass for RumX 2024. The nose is vegetal, with dried fruit, lemon and vanilla. There's a hint of dilution on the first palate, then roast, dried fruit, lemon and fruit arrive with a hint of spice. The finish is rather short, but surprisingly long for dilution. There's a roasted note with fruit and citrus and a light woodiness. A very fine finish for a rum that is, alas, too diluted, but nonetheless very well made, easy to drink and well balanced.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Easy sipper but overall not exciting enough. On the nose I again have these agave-tequila notes that overpower everything. The taste then takes you on a forest walk: pine needles, resin, earth. The finish doesn’t suit me so much.
Review by Alex1981
A bit weak on the nose, but nice flavor profile. Good balance of fruits, vanilla, roasted notes, honey, chocolate on the palate. Slight woodyness on the finish. Really like it! Could use some higher abv, otherwise great entry to Savanna.
Review by Oliver
Great entry-level Savanna with a nice combination of rusty notes (coffee, toffee, ...) and fruity associations. The Grand Arôme portion brings nice complexity to the blend. Pleasant drinking strength.
Review by Jarek
Savanna RumX Masterclass with Samuel Pitarch, 2024-07-12: Tried it for the first time in 2023 at the GRF in Berlin and the impression from back then is confirmed again. Good beginnings and a pleasant introduction to the world of Savanna rums, but clearly too weak to convince. Savanna Masterclass Tasting September 2026 (unfortunately caught up alone): The impression from the first tasting confirmed.
Review by Skyfly
A Savanna for beginners, but I immediately notice an alcoholic note on the nose. On the palate, much more complex; you can even perceive slight ester, strawberry, and olive aromas. Still, due to dilution, not a rum for me.
Review by TheJackDrop
"A must have! In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Woody, Fruity, Vanilla, probably a bit of gingerbread, maybe a bit of pear. On the palate: Woody, Vanilla, Orange zest, Fruity The finish rather oriented towards: Barrel, Oak, Chocolate, obviously cognac" > It has now arrived at home! Edit: RumX X Savanna evening: still as good, finish fresher than I remember.
Review by lars
Also in the second tasting - you can taste the potential. Nicely spicy, a little fruity, almost a little too woody. But unfortunately it's all over again very quickly. Very solid, but not outstanding.
Review by Timo Groeger
Good savanna. Has a really nice woody and fruity nose, then also fruity and woody on the palate. You can also taste pear and caramel. Definitely a good bottling. Thanks Sam for the masterclass.
Review by DomM
A little bit subdue on the nose - some fruits, vanilla, wood and spices. Probably attributable to the low-ish ABV. Much more going on on the palate with nice intensity, yet superbly balanced. Very nice.
Review by Mirco
On the nose ripe fruits, vanilla and a hint of spice, accompanied by light sweetness. On the palate solid with fruity and woody notes, some caramel and a touch of herbaceousness. The finish is medium-length and pleasant but lacks the last spark of refinement. Overall a decent bottling but no highlight in the Savanna portfolio.
Review by Maxime Leclerc 🇨🇵
Very good entrance door at Savanna
Review by mto75
pleasant nose, but for me a little too much wood on the palate.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Won with the RumX lottery. Pretty classival traditional styled Savanna. French oak. Toffee. Caramel: in the nose. More on the oak/coffee than on the fruited side. A bit of abricot and pear later on. Taste: agricoly, dry. More fruit. Hint of mango. Some "Werthers Original" cream toffee. Not overly exiting. But very decent and easy drinkable rum.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Last 'mass' release from Savanna and frankly very pleasant to drink. You find the markers of Savanna, that woody and slightly bitter molasses. Nice success and small price (finally!). Length too short though!
Review by Basti
Masterclass Savanna 26.09.205 Edit: Post-tasting. In the end, this remains the lowlight of the Savanna line-up. Lots of wood, spices, but overall rather flat and slightly pungent despite the low ABVs.
Review by Christoph
I am wavering over children's toothpaste, children's cough syrup to coffee. A delicious easy zipper.
Review by Johannes
Good flavor profiles, but unfortunately too diluted and somewhat flat overall.
Review by Rodolphe
I'll need to taste it again to give more details but to sum up, it's a nice entry in the Savanna range but I was expecting a bit more personality. It's missing a little something. I really like Savanna, but for the same price I'd rather take another bottle.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Blended rum from the permanent range of Savanna, this bottling proves a bit more elaborate. The nose is soft and carries honeyed and fruity aromas (banana and dried fruits), but also mild spices (vanilla), toasted wood as well as a hint of floral notes. It's a sweet, round, and accessible profile but with a bit more weight than a classic profile. On the palate, the dilution is somewhat noticeable, which is a pity because the aromas are quite nice. You find oak, spices (vanilla, chili), coffee, and a lot of sweetness on caramel and other sweeter notes. The touch of Grand Arôme present in the blend does its job with exotic fruits (banana, mango) and adds complexity. The finish highlights vanilla-spiced wood, coffee, and notes of banana, apple, and cognac. It's not very long but broad enough to be felt on the palate. A rum every enthusiast should taste to explore the terroir of Réunion, affordable both aromatically and price-wise.
Review by Maxance Cornet
At first nose banana and plum
Review by Master P
RumX Masterclass Savanna. I am pleasantly surprised by this rum, light & fruity with a hint of vanilla/cask. Unfortunately, on the palate it's too light, tastes very diluted. But as an easy sipper, you can do it.

Review by Martin Spooner
Floral nose with honey, almond and vanilla. Slightly sweet, very nicely rounded. On the palate sweet and mild with a little kick of high esters at the end. Very pleasant blend with a certain spiciness. Recommended! The second tasting lowers the rating a bit.
Review by Nicofr
A delicious rum from Reunion, much better than the 5 years. On the nose, you get nice woody scents, on the palate it reveals itself very smooth, still with that woody taste and a hint of licorice/vanilla. The only downside is that it could have been a bit stronger than 45°.
Review by SNYBOR 🇧🇪
A Savanna still easy to access with a price of about 70 euros. At opening I was a bit disappointed, and once oxygenated I found it much better. Quality/price 8.5/10
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
On the nose the rum is nicely fresh. On the palate very balanced with a slightly dry finish. Due to the low alcohol content it is very easy to drink. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio fits here.
Review by MarcT
I am not inspired, it is quite thin. Not a bad rum, at all, but nothing special either. Easy to sip, but i prefer others for it.
Review by Manuel
Nice Savanna with a very good price-performance ratio for me. Very nice floral influences on the nose as well as in the taste. Added to this are a slight sweetness as well as spicy and woody notes.
Review by Gregor
I'm smell quite musty and marshy. In the taste, however, then quite different. Strong nutty character. With a hint of cola nut
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Its fruity but really mild and balanced. I really had to dig so to speak for flavours. Touch of honey. Floral and woody. Expecting this rum to taste mild. Taste: Fruity, Orange peel and honey. Then you get coffee and woody notes. Flavour palate is in overall quite interesting but thin. Finish: Quite short finish. Mild and citrus upfront. Then you get roasted flavours, woodyness in the end. Ok, its a good entry level rum and a good starting point for someone new to Savanna rums. The higher abv would have probably increased this rums points in my book.
Review by Fuwi
Wow, what was that? There’s already something musty on the nose, going towards polish with orange tree scent. If it hadn’t been diluted so flatly, maybe something could be made of it, but as it is, it falls short of my own expectations, though the price doesn’t suggest a high-end product either, a pleasant entry-level tip: don’t drink it after the HERRLINE, bad idea...

Expert review by The Rum Champion
This is something that I think would be a great introduction to Savanna. At 45% it’s not too scary, not too intense, but has enough there insight, more curiosity into a higher proof liquid from the distiller tastes like. My tasting note: bubblegum, pencil eraser, clove, smoke, lemon, honey, vanilla
