Old Brothers Savanna 74.8 - Excellence Rhum 2019
People who chase Savanna's funk are the audience here: green olive, brine and tomato concentrate up front, with red fruit, sour cherry and a vegetal cane edge underneath. At 74.8% it should be brutal, yet several tasters note it "drinks well below the proof" with the alcohol nicely tucked in. Heavy, oily and savory, with a sweet thread that keeps surfacing.
- Green olive, brine
- Alcohol well integrated
- Red fruit, sour cherry

How does Old Brothers Savanna 74.8 - Excellence Rhum 2019 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Intense olive-and-brine Savanna ester bomb Loved by Savanna fans for its olive-brine intensity and integrated red fruit. The big catch is the savory, solvent-and-brine profile and sheer power — not for everyone, and it needs resting time.

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.
