Ester chasers who love the savage end of Savanna will grin at this one. Solvent, glue and briny olive hit first, then it swings meaty and cheesy — Edam, yoghurt, even bacon and BBQ sauce — before overripe tropical fruit and bubblegum crash through. Dry finish that runs for minutes. At 68.8% the alcohol sits surprisingly well; several tasters swear it doesn't drink its proof.
The community says- Huge ester punch
- Long fruity finish
- Keep in mind: Very high ABV

How does Old Brothers Savanna 68.8 - Excellence Rhum 2019 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Wild high-ester Savanna: glue, olive, fruit gum Savanna white fans rate it highly — a wild, high-ester ride of glue, olive and fruit gum that most call fantastic. A few find the meaty, cheesy notes too far out.

Attention UFO! The flavors found in this rum are unusual: beacon, ketchup, barbecue ... For those who know, it reminds the Chinese baijiu: a strong alcohol of rice. Strong in alcohol (68,8), strong in ester (845), this rum is not to be put in all hands. Personally, it is too much for me.

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 4 Notes Transparent in colour. Nose Intense, floral, light olive, light glue, esters, citrus, light tomato. Palate Warm, light vegetal, floral, light olive, faint salt, light glue, esters, light tomato. Finish Very long and warm, faint smoke, light vegetal, esters, citrus. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while and while resting a perfume like smell spreads in the room.
Review by Timo Groeger
I find this Savanna insanely good, immediately had ester and olive on the nose, you can recognize it quite well as Savanna. Otherwise, also brine and solvents on the nose. On the palate also olive and brine, very green and vegetal.
Review by Jarek
Small Savanna White HERR / Grand Arome tasting - May 2026 Today the rum with the highest ABV of 68.8%. Wonderfully integrated, warm and soft. On the nose and palate it is the most extreme rum today, a wild mix of fruity, vegetal and meaty notes, plus loads of glue. Great stuff!
Review by Filip Šikula
A beautiful fruit bomb that Savanna can deliver quite reliably in their white unaged rums. Just the glass alone scents the whole room, but the sip took me back to childhood when I loved bon-pari candies.
Review by Banana Joe
A young mountain cheese meets smoky olives in smoked brine. Somehow exciting, but not my taste profile in the end. Friends of mezcal will certainly like it. I must have bought a bottle too many.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Rums from the Savanna distillery are among my favorites. I recommend everyone try especially the ester-heavy pieces like Grand Arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in just a few drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by Galli33
Thanks to Filip for providing both samples, which allowed me to make a direct comparison. This one shows a fascinating nose — hints of Edam cheese, yoghurt, a touch of solvent, meaty tones, and some berry fruit. The alcohol is nicely integrated.
Review by Léo Delek
Bbq sauce, citrus zest and essential oils with a hint of hydrocarbons
Review by Barnagricole
Alcohol less well integrated than its big brother, still this taste Burger bacon, sauce bbq
Review by Martin Švojgr
bompary goes into the glue
Review by ChrisPro
Olive, cave aged blue cheese, earth and some floral notes on the nose. Bubble gum showed up after 15 minutes Has that crazy juicy fruit gum flavor and finish for minutes. Sweet up front but very dry finish Doesn't drink like 68.8 at all!
