Old Brothers Savanna 55.6 - Le 1802 Monte Cristo 2006
Here's the twist: this Savanna HERR sat 15 years in an inox tank, not a cask, and still comes out an unaged ester bomb. Expect very ripe pineapple, olive, brine, nail polish and anise, with a grassy, slightly sweetish palate. Loud and divisive — one taster called it pure "exubérance." Marzipan and licorice show up if you give it air.
The community says- Intense ester nose
- Ripe pineapple, olive

The look inside the bottle
How does Old Brothers Savanna 55.6 - Le 1802 Monte Cristo 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 48 community reviews.
Loud, briny pineapple ester bomb Loved by ester fans for its intense pineapple-olive-solvent profile. Several feel the nose outshines the palate, where spice takes over and fruit fades. Genuinely love-it-or-hate-it.

Jesus, that's good. Fine bompari. Terribly fine!
Review by John Coffey
Different from savanna herr because it is more subtle in the end... It's less punchy but it's still very good for ester lovers
Review by Dimitricentenaire
En bouche arlequin, tapenade, bonbon acidulée

Palate Fresh, light licorice, fruits, lime, solvents, light vegetal, medium dry. Finish Long and warm, fruits, light lime, medium dry, light vegetal.

Review by Johannes
Wonderful profile! Beautiful fermented fruit. Goes in the direction of Lontan, but not quite as many esters.
Review by Léo Delek
Kiwi and harlequin on the nose. Harlequin which comes back to the mouth with herbs of Provence
Review by Thunderbird
Ein sehr guter Savanna unaged, der aber an die Qualität des HV oder 57 nicht ganz heranreicht. Die Geruchsaromen sind erstklassig, aber am Gaumen fällt er dann etwas ab. Frucht ist kaum noch wahrzunehmen. Würze dominiert zu sehr. Gleiches gilt für den Abgang.
Review by Pavel Spacek
You can feel the unique spirit of this rum even after first opening the bottle. And the taste is 100x stronger. HERR is always strong rum with intensove taste of yellow fresh tropical fruit. Pineapple, papaya, mango. Like coloured bonbons.
Review by Djehey
2ie tastingA nose and a mouth ultra candy banana olive. Much rounder than at the opening. Very pleasant in the end! 1st tastingSurprising. A lot of ester. A taste similar to baijiu (Chinese strong alcohol of rice). Interesting but not to my taste.
Review by Mentalo
Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Fast schon zu zahm für 55,6%. Vergorene Früchte, etwas säuerlich, Lakritz und Anisnoten (besonders im Abgang). Ist ein guter ungelagerter Savanna, aber mir da etwas die Esterpower.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Very good! A bit harsh for me but frankly this HERR from Savanna rests for 15 years in lady Jeanne it is impressive!
Review by matbli81
It's kinda crazy. You can love it or hate it. I still haven't decided yet. But for sure it's very interesting, intriguing and very complex. Aroma of pineapples, salt, olives with a lot of esters, nail polish and solvent but also a hint of marzipan. The taste is very difficult. Slightly sweetish with a grassy character and a rough and a bit sharp finish.
Review by Mike H.
Extremely fruity ester bomb. I would have appreciated an higher ester dose but a very pleasant rum nonetheless.
Review by Gd Flo
I hope you like ripe pineapple because it is very strong on the nose and in the mouth. A herr de savanna that has rested 15 years in stainless steel tanks is mystical! If you like finesse and balance go elsewhere, this rum is nothing but exuberance!
