Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
14.05.2022 Had a nice meet up with some nice rums, good friends and also new rum enthusiasts. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, fresh, faint wood, faint smoke, fruity, berries, light pineapple, faint chocolate. Palate Oily, intense, medium spicy, light chocolate, berries, light pineapple, spices, light olive. Finish Long and warm, light olive, light roasted wood, faint salty, light pineapple. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will overshadow all the nice flavours.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Savanna dopé à la testostérone avec une forte concentration aromatique. Le nez est assez frappant, avec un fruité très présent sur les fruits exotiques et les fruits rouges mais aussi très mûrs et fermentés, on ressent presque des effluves de vinaigre. Les notes épicées accompagnent ce côté plus vif qui pique les narines. Les arômes médicinaux sont fermes et les notes florales et herbacées un peu plus présentes. L’alcool ressort davantage avec le fût. Un Savanna plutôt bestiale qui nécessite pas mal d’aération. L’attaque en bouche est assez virulente. Le côté pimenté ressort de prime abord, puis les fruits tropicaux et la fraise de tiennent en embuscade, accompagnés par les esters. Le boisé rôti et les notes herbacées (thé) finalisent un profil sec, puissant, voir un peu rustre. Pour le coup, la réduction sur le Grand Étant Sec fait la différence ici. La finale est longue, imprégnée des notes fruitées typiques du Grand Arôme (fruits exotiques, fraise) et des notes plus rôties, boisées et herbacées qui donnent une certaine amertume. Les épices, les tanins et les notes médicinales sont aussi présentes dans ce melting pot aromatique. En comparaison avec le Grand Etang Sec, c’est un Savanna savoureux, nettement plus puissant mais qui montre à ses dépends que la réduction peut s’avérer utile dans certains cas.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nez : du grand arôme comme on l’aime/ananas/banane/fumé … c’est intense et solvanté à souhait Bouche : fumé/olive verte/fraise tagada Finale : longue/épicée/amer Je trouve cela bon, mais pas ouf. J’ai déjà gouté des Grands Arômes de Savanna meilleurs et sans le ramdam de ce Piton des neiges. Bien heureux d’avoir pu le gouter lors de cette Master Class, car je n’aurai jamais eu l’occasion de le gouter autrement. Merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Review by Jarek
The run has the same barrel number as the Savanna Reunion The Wild Island Edition - Grand étang sec 2006 (RX11969). According to the label, they both came into the barrel on the same day. At first they come across as quite different, but after a while in the glass they become somewhat alike. Nevertheless, the Grand étang sec is slightly better.
Review by Thunderbird
Despite the high alcohol content a surprisingly mild rum, but in the overall impression rather restrained!
Review by Jakob
Solid Savanna representative with nice fruit esters, mint tea, heavy and compact sourness, some olive and wood - nice bottling.
Review by RumTaTa
Beautiful balanced nose with pleasant sweetness. The sweetness continues on the palate, complemented with strawberry and pineapple. The finish continues harmoniously with a slight honey note.
