Savanna 2022 Limited Edition HERR
"Trying out Savannas for the first time. This one is my fav so far" sums up the reaction from a lot of people here. It's an unaged high-ester HERR: fresh-cut pineapple, green olive brine, funky overripe fruit and pink-gummy-bear notes, with a vegetal, herbal edge. At 57%, the heat is well tucked in. Fans call it wild and hard to forget; a few miss the fruit-bomb intensity of older batches.
The community says- Pineapple and olive
- Bold ester funk
- But: Polarizing chemical edge

How does Savanna 2022 Limited Edition HERR taste?
Aggregated from 94 community reviews.
Funky pineapple-and-olive white ester bomb Loved by Savanna fans for its pineapple-and-olive funk and gummy-bear fruit. Several longtime drinkers find this batch more vegetal and less fruity than earlier ones. Polarizing by nature.

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.
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 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 Tom Buteneers
Not as memorable previous batches (from memory), a side by side is needed. A bit more chemical/metallic on the palate and aftertaste.

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