Savanna Unshared Cask for France (LMDW)
Anyone who chases high-ester fruit bombs will feel at home here. This Savanna Grand Arôme reads like a bag of acidic candy — strawberry Tagada, pineapple, green apple and gummy bears — with glue and solvent underneath and a touch of young oak. Cask strength but the alcohol sits well integrated. A few tasters note a faint bitter edge and a slightly short, one-note finish.
The community says- Explosive fruitiness
- Great ABV integration
- But: Slightly short finish

Aggregated from 67 community reviews.
Fruit-bomb Grand Arôme, candy and solvent A big fruity, estery Savanna that most people adore for its candy-and-solvent punch. The catch some mention: a slightly bitter note and a finish that runs short and repetitive.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5212 06.04.2025 Running through some samples while relaxing with the movie Mickey 17. Nose Medium intense, light wood, ester, berries, light vegetal, faint passion fruit, fresh, fruity. Palate Oily, fresh, fruity, light wood, ester, light citrus, berries, light apple, faint glue, light mango. Finish Medium long, fruity, oily, light wood, berries, light apple, faint glue, spice. Empty glass Strawberry, light citrus, light vanilla, light mango. The palate is less intense than the nose, but still a very well balanced release with good ABV integration.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A full-bodied, aromatic Savanna, with overripe fruit on the nose in spades (pineapple, strawberry, cherry, raspberry, mango, papaya, banana) before medicinal notes take over, with a hint of spice, wood and smoky notes. This is clearly a Grand Arôme profile, drier but relatively intense. On the palate, we find a sort of harlequin candy with a chemical and synthetic taste, but no less pleasant. Ripe tropical fruit and strawberry go hand in hand with esters, solvents and polish notes. However, a form of sweetness persists over the caramelized, honeyed, sweetness of more traditional Savannas. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is drier, more tannic, with more advanced notes of fermentation and ripe fruit. Spices, caramel and meidicinal notes form an interesting, if somewhat one-dimensional, whole. A very attractive profile, with aroma, a certain ardor and yet good ripeness.
Review by Harald

Review by cigares
A nose of tart raspberry candy, walnut, banana and pineapple with a slight spiciness. The attack is lively but harmonious. The tart raspberry candy is still there, supported by vegetal aromas, cough syrup and light wood. The finish is long but a little monotonous. At the very end, chamomile and Earl Grey tea come through. Lightness and childhood fragrances, a tasty and atypical Savanna. Delicious!
Review by MJ97
On the nose, I smelled solvents, vinegared olive juice and a hint of chocolate too. A hint of candy, strawberry tagada and also tea (but I don't know which). On the palate, the alcohol is very well integrated. The solvent side comes through, with fruit that I didn't really have on the nose, and olive. The tea aspect is still very present. Medium finish, still the same notes but superbly balanced, a mix of everything.
Review by Thunderbird
A very fresh and fruity Savanna! This fruit is consistent from the nose to the finish...very very tastyToday for the second time in the glass:This fruity is just brilliant , Physialis in pure form, dreamy,on the palate it continues, mixed with some foamy strawberry candy. I like it! It gets 0.2 points more
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Wow! Great product with an explosion of fruit and this high esters herr aged! Surprisingly enough this bottle is still findable online / cellar. Maybe due to its price which is a bit high for the little aging time but frankly it's a great rum. Strawberry, pineapple and passion fruit come straight to me.
Review by SaibotZtar
Bäähm... what a great Savanna. Gummi bears, green apple, strawberries... and some glue characterize incredibly horny the nose. Since I can sniff sniff sniff 🤣In the mouth, the nose is reflected again although somewhat tamed and with a touch wood and a slight bitter note.
Review by Ayc
A marvel of balance between strength, complexity and deliciousness. A tipical brine, ripe exotic fruit cubes (mango in particular), harlequins, very slight bitterness underpinning it all. Long stone fruit finish (flat peach). A very, very, very fine rum
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Lack, Gummibärchen, Früchte, künstlich - macht richtig Spaß in der Nase. Im Mund dann die Fortsetzung, wenngleich der Geschmack leider nicht ganz mit der Nase mithalten kann, außerdem schleicht sich eine minimale bittere Fehlnote ein. Das Ganze ist aber immer noch großes Savanna Kino.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Insanely delicious and super complex Grand Arome! Strawberry, pineapple, passion fruit, blossom honey with chamomile tea, cinnamon and mint, lightly fermented Virginia tobacco, blanched almonds and marzipan. Perfect alcohol integration. Grenade-like awesome stuff!
Review by Dr.Django
The nose starts fresh and fruity with intense yoghurt cream with strawberry flavor aromas. The palate continues creamy with fruit candy. Something dirty with rubber also comes to the back of the palate. A great Savanna, split follows
Review by Rodolphe
Superb rum great aroma. The nose is a fruity bombée which remains fresh, light, it is superb. Mouth in the same tone. Maturation in cognac marked but which brings a crazy greediness, it is not too vinous. In short, a superb keel! Savanna at its best.
Review by Pavel Spacek
The rums from the Savanna distillery are some of my favourites. I recommend everyone to try especially the higher ester pieces like Grand arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in a few little drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by Basti
Super intensive Nase, die auch am Gaumen hält was sie verspricht mit viel Kaugummi, trop. Früchten und Beeren. Hat für mich im direkten Vergleich mit dem CDI Savanna (RX308) etwas besser. Alkohol super eingebunden.
Review by Vidaa Wz
Nez sublime près quelques minutes bonbon frais et acidulé très très gourmand on a envie de plonger dedans Bouche très armonieuse avec du mielle et de la complexité, Grosse réussite un vrai kiff pour moi
Review by MarcT
This is a revelation compared to the le Must I had before this. Stronger, of course, and much more to taste and enjoy. I like it to roll the rum in the mouth, and this one keeps giving when doing that.
Review by jems5
Nez de polish pour meuble, sirop contre la toux presque médicinal jolie note florales camomille et jasmin assez aérien et fin finale sur des notes de thé earl grey
Review by Maxence
Very nice rum 😋 Both nose and mouth are very well balanced between funkyness of Grand Arôme and sweetness with candy notes 🍬🍭 for instance. Thanks Savanna !
Review by Santo
A fruity bomb, an explosion of flavor! It fills the room with its intoxicating fragrance. A great, magnificent aroma!
