Review by Oliver
Relatively dry savanna. Chocolatey-vanilla on the palate with cherries.
Review by zabo
Together with DomM we tasted a few Savanna today. Many thanks to Johannes for the samples. The biggest disappointments were the RX232 and the RX11264. My personal favorite was the RX9608. The RX11034 and the RX11515 just made it over the 8 points.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
I definitely expected more here, rather disappointing. It's delicious, drinks absolutely well, but the cognac and port cask have simply gained the upper hand and the pineapple, violet, strawberry and generally fruity notes have almost no chance of coming through... Good thing I only took a sample! Unfortunately the weakest chai humide overall... The relatively low alcohol content is also a disappointing factor here. Not a bad rum but absolutely no chance compared to Chai humide 8y and 10y or the Savanna Madras!
Review by Mirco
Rote Früchte in der Nase, vor allem Erdbeere und Kirsche, dazu Vanille, feines Holz und pfeffrige Wärme. Am Gaumen dunkle Schokolade mit vinösem Unterton aus dem Port Finish, der Tiefe und Spannung bringt. Sauber strukturiert, guter Zug, mittellanger Abgang mit würzigen Akzenten und roter Frucht.
Review by Tschusikowsky
A balanced and fine thing. It reminds me starkly of a Trident chewing gum from my youth. Various fruits with partly leathery, slightly smoky, woody notes. Unfortunately, there is a lot of alcohol in the forefront of the nose over time.
Review by Jakob
Surprisingly sweet rum that develops intense chocolate-vanilla notes on the palate in combination with tropical, slightly fermented fruits. Pleasant.
Review by Tim
Great Savanna with port finish that adds the red and sour berries, chocolate and delicious spices. A special feature is found in the finish: herbal notes like tea join the roasty coffee and the other flavors. A tad too acidic in the finish, which gives a few points off. Overall, however, not bad :-)
Review by DomM
Even after quite some time to breath, the nose presents itself rather closed-up. I get wood and leather notes alongside red fruits/berries with a hint of cherries. In no way bad, but not very present overall unfortunately. On the palate, the port finish is more distinguishable for me. But in a good way. Red fruits, cacao, leather and Christmas spices make for a rich and deep experience. Very nice overall.
Review by mto75
schöne Nase mit roten Früchten, Vanille, Milchschokolade, Leder, altem Fass und Lakritze. Am Gaumen Vanille, Kirschbaumholz und ein leichter pfeffriger Einschlag. Das Portweinfinish hätte ich mir noch etwas ausgeprägter gewünscht, ich nehme überwiegend die vorherige Lagerung im Cognac-Fass wahr.
Review by Johannes
Nice complexity, but I would have expected more.
Review by Thunderbird
A good Savanna with beautiful fruit! The palate is mildly pleasant and also fruity! A slight woody spice to finish. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is slightly woody, herbal and unfortunately too short! Very tasty ! 2nd tasting compared to cask 985, Here it loses significantly! Especially after a standing time is almost only alcohol to be perceived, so I deduct a few points
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Belle bouche grâce au finish porto. Pleins de fruits rouges et une fin sur le poivre. Toujours un plaisir de remettre un nez dans ce beau Savanna !
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Savanna équilibré, avec de belles notes épicées qui vont de pair avec le boisé, le cuir et les notes toastées. Viennent ensuite des notes fruitées, apportées allègrement par le fût de cognac et de porto, allant de l’abricot, aux fruits tropicaux et aux fruits secs, le tout en passant par les fruits rouges (cerise). Il y a une belle harmonie des arômes. En bouche, on retrouve un rhum expressif et qui maîtrise son sujet. Le cognac et le porto donnent la rondeur que génèrent les fruits (rouges notamment) tandis que les épices et les notes toastées et caramélisées apportent de la gourmandise. L’alcool y est très bien intégré, offrant un bel équilibre dans le rapport de force. On retrouve une belle finale ornée d’épices, de réglisse, de fruits rouges et exotiques, avec une pointe d’amertume sur le café, enveloppée d’un boisé un peu plus astringent et alcoolique. L’alchimie opère bien et propose une expérience olfactive et gustative très évolutive. Un Savanna traditionnel bien travaillé et qui met son terroir à l’honneur.
Review by cigares
Calendrier de l’Avant Rum Friendly Club, jour 22. Un nez étroit de bois de cèdre (boîte à cigares), d’herbes sèches, d’agrumes, de vanille et de vieille corde de chanvre. La bouche aussi est plutôt étroite mais les saveurs sont expressives, on retrouve le bois de cèdre et les herbes sèches qui dominent des fruits complexes, la vanille et un côté vineux. La finale est marquée par le bois de cèdre, toujours lui, des herbes mais aussi de la menthe qui donne ici une belle fraîcheur à l’ensemble.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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 6 Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, fruits, floral, light citrus, faint polish. Palate Warm, round, light wood, citrus, light floral, light salty, light banana, spice, faint polish. Finish Medium long, light wood, citrus, light salty, faint olive.
