Old Brothers Savanna 74.8 - Excellence Rhum 2019
Anyone chasing Savanna's signature olive-and-brine profile at full throttle will find their bottle here. Unaged molasses rum at a huge 74.8%, yet several tasters note it drinks well below its proof. Expect green olive, saumure, esters and sugarcane, with sour cherry and red fruit underneath. One member sums it up as tasting like a Grand Arome — big, intense, oily. Let it rest in the glass before diving in.

The look inside the bottle
How does Old Brothers Savanna 74.8 - Excellence Rhum 2019 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Intense olive-and-brine Savanna ester bomb Loved by Savanna fans for its intense olive, brine and ester character. Surprisingly integrated for the proof, but the sheer intensity means it's not a casual pour.

Schmeckt wie ein Grand Arome. Große Klasse!
Review by Yoann Adast
nez: agréable, canne à sucre, végétal. acidulé (arlequin). bouche: saumure, sucre Roux.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one also needs to rest for a good while because it's really intense. Not as fruity but fresh with lovely floral/Agricole notes. Dry, warm and intense on the palate and a very long finish.
Review by Ian Gilman
Drinks well below the proof, but still an incredibly intense and full bodied rum. Heavy with olives, solvents, and brine but sweet as well.
Review by Barnagricole
Bacon et sauce bbq. On dirait vraiment un suprême bacon
Review by Mike H.
Reminds me of sitting and eating olives in a nice garden during the summer months. Both in the nose and mouth. A very surprising rum.
Review by Vincent D
Goûté au SoRhum Bordeaux donc pas les meilleures conditions possibles mais il aura fallu beaucoup nettoyer mon palais pour se séparer de ce rhum très olive en bouche. c'est fort et puissant. Végétal mais également sur la saumure. A goûter.
