Review by RumTaTa
Sehr guter kräftiger Savanna mit leichter Tendenz zu Cognacs / Armagnac.
Review by Worst
The wood is slightly too intense here for me.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Manque un peu de fruits en bouche… La rondeur du nez est perdue en bouche et on retrouve trop le boisé et le cognac.

Nez vif agrume acidité fleur fanée Bouche se développe, jolie épice poivre blanc agrume longueur fraîche miel
Review by John Coffey
On sent sa jeunesse. Dommage qu'il ait tant de mal à s'ouvrir pour laisser un panel d'arôme se montrer
Review by Mentalo
Im direkten Vergleich zum 12 Jahren alten Wild Island Traditionell wirkt er deutlich dünner und weniger komplex.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 2 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, roasted, citrus, sweet, light apple. Palate Round, fresh, raisin, light apple, light wood, light roasted, medium dry, faint tannins. Finish Medium long, round, wood, light tannins, citrus, light apple, faint honey. Extra note. Light and ABV pretty well integrated.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Savanna pur jus de canne qui débute avec un nez sauvage et agricole, constitué de canne et de notes herbacées qui s’accordent avec le fût de cognac, le raisin et les épices. Si certains arômes évoquent la douceur (miel) l’arôme de foin prend peu à peu le dessus. C’est un profil élaboré mais un peu envahissant si on aime pas les notes végétales. L’attaque en bouche reprend les codes du nez, avec une forte intensité sur les épices, le côté sec voir tannique, l’alcool et les fruits, ces derniers étant relativement discrets. On relève une amertume sur le foin et des notes végétales très présentes avec l’aération. L’alcool aurait pu être mieux intégré. La finale est de longueur correcte, sans fortiori, mais sans grande surprise. Le foin et les herbes aromatiques ont eu raison des épices et du boisé, éclipsés comme les fruits par cette amertume, ces tanins et le côté sec apporté par le fût de cognac. Un rhum cohérent et linéaire, mais qui manque un peu de d’extravagance.
Review by Oliver
Sehr viel überreife Früchte. Birne und Cognac dominant. Etwas zu viel Säure für meinen Geschmack.
Review by Johannes
Ganz leckerer, runder Agricole!
Review by Thunderbird
Ein ausgewogener Savanna der sich sehr verschlossen gibt! Er verteilt zarte verschiedene klassische Aromen, aber kann nicht wirklich glänzen
Review by Jakob
Solid rum, but overall not expressive enough for me. I like it thanks to its well-rounded profile - but that's also where the criticism begins, because unfortunately I find the moments of tension and complexity a little lacking here - a "problem" that I often encounter with Savanna's Traditionelles. But this is also not my subjectively preferred rum style.
Review by Pavel Spacek
There is something really strange in the taste.. Wtf is that? Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili.
Review by Righrum
Clearly an agricole Savanna, dominated by unripe granny smith apple both in the nose and palate. When approaching there is a smoky/plastic note that developes soon into unripe apple, moving from nose to palate
