Review by ZaZu Baker
Une marque reconnaissable parmis toutes. Ce que fait savanna de mieux selon moi. Des fruits mûres, de l'intensité et de la longueur.
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 Galli33
😵🤤😎 My favorite HERR blanc so far 😜I really love the taste of liquid gummi bears
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 mto75
high diversity of esters, rather than high ester level
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.
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 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 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 Lot-NAS
An outstanding Agricole with a really nice and different profile. It is surprisingly sweet and fruity and because of it’s balanced complexity one of my favourites.
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 reybouttard
Very surprising. Freshly cut pineapple, lots of fruit, olive, some sourness too. A long finish with spice and clove clip.
Review by Johannes
Perhaps not quite as intense as the old batches
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.

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