Savanna 2022 Limited Edition HERR
"Liquid gummi bears" is how one member sums up this unaged Savanna, and it fits — pineapple and strawberry sweets crash into olive brine, glue and green vegetal funk. It's HERR through and through: fruity, salty, chemical in the best way. At 57% the alcohol stays surprisingly well tucked in. A few longtime fans miss the fruit-heavier older batches, but plenty call this their favourite blanc.

How does Savanna 2022 Limited Edition HERR taste?
Aggregated from 94 community reviews.
Fruity, briny ester bomb from Savanna The HERR faithful line up behind it — overripe pineapple, olive and ester funk done loud but drinkable. If you want the fruit-bomb older batches, this leans greener and more vegetal.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Savanna bien charnu avec une belle palette aromatique. Le nez nous plonge tout de suite dans le vif du sujet avec un côté high ester typique de chez Savanna : olive, basilic, piment, notes terreuses et végétales, épices, notes médicinales, esters, polish, colle mais aussi fruits tropicaux mûrs et fermentés donnent à ce profil un côté funky, concentré mais pas agressif. En bouche, le mark HERR prend le dessus avec des notes chimiques et synthétiques sur le bonbon arlequin, rappelant certains fruits rouges et exotiques (fraise, ananas). Le côté mûr, voir fermenté, se fait plus présent avec des notes phénoliques et médicinales assez marquées. De prime abord, ce Savanna paraît écœurant en quelques gorgées, mais au fur et à mesure qu’il s’ouvre, les notes végétales, florales et herbacées donnent une touche de fraîcheur bienvenue en bouche. L’alcool est plutôt bien intégré. La finale paraît cependant assez courte, mais reste intense sur les fruits très mûrs aux arômes chimiques, les notes médicinales et cette touche herbacée, végétale et fraîche qui adoucit l’ensemble. L’olive est particulièrement présente ici. Un profil non vieilli avec un joli potentiel, dont il serait curieux de goûter une version vieillie afin d’en tirer pleinement toutes les capacités qu’il a offrir.
Review by cigares
Un rhum goûté au Rum and Gin Festival à Lucerne. Le nez est vif sans être aggressif, un curieux mélange d’olive et d’ananas bien mûr avec de la fraîcheur qui peut rappeler le concombre. La bouche est vive, fraîche sur le menthol avec aussi de l’ananas et de l’olive. La finale est courte mais de l’ananas reste très longtemps en bouche. J’imagine un bar de plage tropical avec tout pour préparer des cocktails rafraîchissants et un marchand ambulant d’ananas très mûrs à côté.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unfortunately, I don't like the new batch at all. I let it breathe for over an hour, but in direct comparison with the old Savanna Herr 57% or 62.5%, the typical pineapple gummy bear and general fruit power is almost gone. The ice candies are still there, but otherwise it has a very vegetable and fresh profile. Too bad. But there are several years in between and this shows just how much terroir and time can influence the taste of a rum that has not been produced for several years, as I learned in an interview with Noelle Traxel at the GRF 2022. Unfortunately, it is also disappointing for me in a daiquiri :(
Review by Vincent D
You either like it or you don't, but you can't remain indifferent to this new version of HERR. For me, it's an unqualified success. Perhaps more accessible than the previous version, as it's fruitier. A really good blend of fruit, esters, a fermented sensation and planty notes. For me, it's 100% validated, even though I'm not a big fan of the older Savannas.
Review by Sebastian.W
I compared the Habitation velier HERR, the HERR 57 (2019) and the HERR 57 2022. The first two are very similar with the HERR 57 (2019) being slightly better in my opinion. Both are full of red fruit, berries, bubble gum, glue and flowers. The HERR 57 (2022) has more vegetal notes and is less fruity. This one was my least favourite out of the three.
Review by Thunderbird
I like these HERR bottlings, but this is one of the weaker ones for me. It's more on the herbal side and the fruit takes a back seat. Habitation Velier remains the reference for me here. Nonetheless, a good bottling, but more for mixing
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money in this one as well. Very fresh and fruity from opening the bottle and warm on the palate with some ester. I have tried a few HERR and this one is not fully up to par with the average. The 2019 is still my personal favourite ☺️
Review by Mike H.
Joke of the day. Mix of a cheap fruit sweet and toilet cleaner. I particularly disliked the detergent finish… 😱 Sample bottle was reused, so the label is wrong.
Review by Boletus
Extremely expressive for a non-barrel-aged spirit and yet fruity in a way that I have hardly ever experienced with a fruit brandy. I have to be in the right mood for this rum due to its extravagant aromas, but then I can really celebrate it. Great!
Review by Skyfly
Eine wirklich verrückte Kombination aus Ananas, Olive, Beeren, sowie leichten Esternoten bekommt man zu Anfang geboten. Im Gaumen und Abgang ist die Ananas besonders präsent. Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Einer der besten ungereiften Rums die ich bisher probiert habe
Review by Pavel Spacek
Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili..
Review by Master P
Savanna Herr 57% finde ich schwierig zu beschreiben. Eine Mischung aus medizinischem Erdbeerekaugummi mit Funk. Finde ihn zu alkoholisch und wärmend im Abgang, auch irgendwas bitteres nehm ich wahr. Weisse Rums sind einfach nicht so mein fall, aber ganz ok.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wider ein schöner Savanna Herr. In der Nase auf jeden Fall sehr frisch. Olive sticht hier auf jeden Fall hervor. Außerdem ist Ester erkennbar. Am Gaumen auch viel Olive und Ester, Savanna typisch sehr pflanzlich und funky. Aber sehr gut.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Hate it or love it. Ester, rotten fruit, rotting strawberries, pink bubble gum, artificial flavors. Everything that makes the HERRz beat higher. But much tamer than its brothers and sisters from previous years. The entry-level HERR.
Review by TheJackDrop
Il n’est pas encore là mais j’ai même pu goûter le 2023. Un nez compliqué à décrire et unique, Un cote bonbon fraise tagada déroutant, C’était ouf ! Même si sûrement pas 2 verres d’affilée. Une superbe cuvée après avoir re gouté.
Review by Werner U
Very intense but not unpleasant. Taste hard to describe, Long lasting flavor. A rum that remains in the memory and is not comparable
Review by kondgab
Very fruity and estery HERR, which is my favourite mark from Savanna. Reminds me of pineapple flavoured Haribo gummy bears and strawberry flavoured chewing gum. Not as good as the Habitation Velier unaged version.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
And now another Savanna. I love these rums. The typical taste of the olive can of course be recognized here too. Otherwise beautifully fruity, typically overripe. Pineapple, mango. Simply delicious.

Typical HERR aromatics, but unfortunately not as aromatic as the Velier, seems thinner.
