Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Pas l’impression d’avoir un Savanna en bouche, beaucoup de rondeur et gourmandise dû au fût de bourbon et à l’agricole. Degusté a la soirée Rhum Club Paris (Hôtel Maison Mère)

A little bit too dry
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4553 18.01.2024 Flipping a few samples today ☺️ A pretty ok release with a medium fruity and medium dry profile. The Agricole notes are also there and the palate has some added grass and roasted note. The finish is medium to long with light dryness. There is a faint cherry and caramel note in the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has light coffee and faint chocolate.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprising Cask Strength Savanna from plantation. Intense cocoa, grapefruit, lots of wood and salted caramel, astringent and tannic. Then in the finish some typical menthol and overripe strawberry.
Review by Mirco
beautiful Savanna bottling
Review by Vincent D
Woody, rough, alcoholic, astringent and pungent. Not my thing at all. It's still a bit fruity, with a grapefruit-like bitterness. But I don't like it.
