Sips easily neat despite the ester punch — most people here reach for it as an approachable Savanna Grand Arôme. The nose throws ester, banana and pear across the room; the palate turns mild and round, with pineapple, toffee and a touch of wood. The cognac-cask influence shows up late. A few find the sour, almost sulphury finish a bit much, but the 46% sits just right.

How does Savanna Lontan Grand Arôme Vieux 2007 taste?
Summarized by AI from 25 community reviews.
Approachable ester funk with banana and pear Members call it a rare Grand Arôme you can actually sip easily — fruit-forward and well-balanced. Only the sour, funky finish gives a minority pause.

Really beguiling, warm nose, smooth and soft on the palate, the typical gummy bears are there, the 46% fits perfectly. The rum is pleasant to drink, not at all tiring. If only the finish wasn't so sour, almost sulphurous ... But some people like that. I found the rum at the end of June 2024 in a small tobacco store in Berlin. It must have been gathering dust in a corner for 8 years. Cost less than 100 EUR. The tobacconist apologized for the price, unfortunately he couldn't keep up with the competitive prices of the online stores. If only he knew ... 😊 P. S.: Unfortunately, the bottle is already empty. 🤷🏽♂️

Somehow fermented. And somehow not so cool. Sour note, the usual savanna strawberry becomes more of a raspberry. Something like tobacco on the back. Really interesting, but not delicious. The alcohol content is also strangely chosen. I would have preferred more or less. Very interesting experience.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
23.05.2020 Crazy tasting with lots of participants and a few friends. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, ester, light wood, dried fruits, pineapple, faint rubber, light leather. Palate Intense, spicy, light wood, fruity, light smoke, grass, faint glye, light citrus, light medicinal. Finish Long and warm, light citrus, light wood, faint floral, light leather, light medicinal.
Review by Andi
I was very pleasantly surprised, was very drinkable and sociable. On the nose, initially some esters, dried light fruits, pear, a little wood, all very round. Then very mild and round on the palate, a great bouquet of fruit, vanilla and wood. So really a palatable Savanna.
Review by F Kraemmer
Smagning med Mr. Simon Hansen d. 16.07.2026 Savanna Lotan 2007 Duft: Første indtryk, ester eksplosion med overmoden frugt som pære lidt banan. Salt oliven, krydret cognac noter let fadpræg. Palette: Sødmefuld fed, pære og ananas. Pebret vanilje skaber noget ubalance i rommen. Eftersmagen er noget bitter sur, lidt urter og røg let citrus. Glasset: Bitter sur fadpræg. Smagning “In the garden”
Review by Johannes
An excellent agricole with a fitting dilution. Nothing is missing!
Review by TheJackDrop
"We want more. To sum up, my tasting notes: On the nose: Ester, Pear On the palate: Mellow, Ester, Peppery, Barrel, Pineapple Finish: Woody, Pineapple, Dried fruit". This is definitely a rum I'd recommend for its RQP.
Review by Léo Delek
Very nice reduced rum. On the nose I get a kind of vinegary fruit salad. On the palate, I have tarte tatin with a very tasty apple (reminds me of jonagold) that I have had on other Savanna agricoles. Of course, there is the presence of some solvents, a bit of rubber and always the vinegary notes I had on the nose, all very well balanced. 😋😋
Review by Franzi
Most fruity for me is fermented strawberry
Review by Daniel
Ester, distinct fruity notes of banana and pear, but also putrid impressions of cow dung. Spiciness. Delightfully intense.Fruits and wood predominate on the palate, although after some time the influence of the cognac finish clearly appears.Towards the end, herbs and smoky aromas emerge.Grande Arome Rum fun, especially on the nose.
Review by Harald
Color: Gold Aroma: Aromatic fruit esters can be smelled from a distance. Sweet with aromas of tropical fruits - mango, mandarin, banana and a little solvent and chewing gum. Also vanilla and some smoke. Mild. Taste: Spicy in the mouth with toffee. Spicier on the swallow, peppery with sandalwood and slightly fruity. Somewhat watery. Finish: Dry and woody with ginger and creamy toffee. Esterig and herbal in the aftertaste. 85 points
