"Als würde man an einem Stück Tahitivanille nuckeln," as one taster put it — this Savanna leans green and herbal, with olive brine, fresh-cut cane, pepper and a real vanilla-pod streak. Several call it classic Savanna DNA: vegetal, a touch of glue and funk, with honey and green apple softening the edges. At 57% the alcohol sits surprisingly well integrated.
The community says- Vivid vanilla pod
- Green, herbal complexity
- But: Can feel unbalanced

The look inside the bottle
How does Savanna Edition Bois Rouge (1992-2022) taste?
Summarized by AI from 92 community reviews.
Herbal, olive-brine agricole with vanilla depth Well-liked as a "good but not spectacular" Savanna — vegetal, peppery and vanilla-driven with a long finish. A few find it a bit unbalanced, and many grumble about the price for a 5-year rum.

A rum tasted at the Rum and Gin Festival in Lucerne in 2023 and 2024. A very vegetal, floral nose with green olive, yellow fruit and ivy. The palate is full of aromas, with lots of green olive and all kinds of herbs and fruit. The finish is quite long, with vegetal aromas, fresh tobacco, cedar wood and, above all, vanilla bean.

Rums from the Savanna distillery are among my favorites. I recommend everyone try especially the ester-heavy pieces like Grand Arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in just a few drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by Leo Krüper
A good Agricole with a lot of glue, somewhat unbalanced at the end, which makes it interesting.But: The price is completely exaggerated for a young rum, which brings us to the label. For me, a misleading declaration, since it is implied here that it is a 1992 vintage.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Pretty good Savanna rum, very fresh and fruity with nice spices and a hint of chocolate. The flavours get even more clear in the empty glass after a while. I do love the smoky finish mixed with some leather. Price to quality is OK.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The flavor is soft and at the same time spicy, the palate shows its lively side and finishes with notes of fresh sugar cane.
Review by Mirco
Fresh-herbaceous with a distinct peppery note and noticeable alcohol. The green, herbal aromas are very prominent, combined with vanilla notes and warm wood. The sweetness is brief on the tongue, but overall there is little balance. For me, too unbalanced and edgy, with little harmonious interplay of components.
Review by Rodolphe
The same profile as the 2005 Creol but much nicer. The time (and the blend bottled here) has softened it, it has gone on aromas of dried grapes and honey which make it a very pleasant and easy to drink Agricole. Really nice, after that it's still a bit expensive compared to what you can find in Agricole at the same price...
Review by Nivius
It's like sucking on a piece of tahitian vanilla. In itself, everything absorbs vanilla that has been in a wooden barrel, but the aroma then presents itself as in other vanilla-containing foods - you can taste it somehow, but it's something else - this one tastes like you're really biting into such a fresh, juicy vanilla pod, otherwise there's maybe some peach and leather, all in all a really nice rum and the Agricole also comes through very well, but the price is a bit bold ... but you can give it a try 😂🤪 .... and the trend for the prices of further releases continues to go up nicely after a year .... .... Somehow it's getting better and better, especially now that I've been able to try more Savanna for comparison. I still think the price is stupid, but for me this is one of the good Savannas... and you can also get a damn cool Manhattan twist with it and now I've had to adjust it upwards a bit, which I wasn't expecting.
Review by Timo Groeger
Here we have a decent Savanna in the glass. On the nose and palate it has on the one hand a vegetal and herbal note, especially olive is recognizable. On the other hand, quite spicy, pepper is noticeable.
Review by Frank
Yes, is already quite clear Savanna mir the so own profile.nose: artificial-spicy-fruity. As always, a crude mix of something like nail polish and phenol with sweet honey and a potpourri of fruits, here green apple, sour cherry, raspberry and currant. Mixed in with this is something vegatable like olive and pickled artichoke. Always interesting.Palate: distinctly spicy and aromatic. Savanna DNA here too. Artificially fruity, goes more in the direction of blackberry. Honeyed sweetness and something herbal and vegetal again. Seems a bit salty at first and then becomes slightly bitter and woody with vanilla and anise. Finishes with artificial honeydew melon.The many different barrels make their presence felt: artificial fruit and vegstibles at the same time. Nice entry into the Savanna world
Review by Rare Akuma
An interesting rum that tastes almost exactly like it smells. Very spice, herb and flower dominant with salty seawater and olive brine to bring it to the next level. Berrymix (specifically blackberry) and light woody notes bring some welcoming sweetness to tame all of the above. At the very end earthy camphor kicks it into second gear and leads to a very tasty cooling finish. Lovely. Unfortunately the price is too high for a spirit this young -for my liking-.
Review by Christoph
Very herbaceous Agricole.
Review by TheJackDrop
Impressive, you suck on a good piece of wood spiced with some spices! On the other hand, it's very expensive for what it is. In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Herbal, vegetal, raisins, vanilla On the palate: Woody, vegetal, herbal, peppery, tobacco, camphor The finish rather leans towards: vegetal, tobacco, oak
Review by DJ Wolfson
The smells reminds me of freshly cut grass, sharp and earthy. The taste is very woody, with an aftertaste that is sweet.
Review by Barnagricole
Granny Smith apple, brine, cognac
Review by Winetrader
A very interesting and very complex rum. It's a powerful rum with fruity aromas and a relatively long finish with a strong impression of vanilla. Bottle tasted at Crans-Montana with friends.
Review by Lot-NAS
Not much to say, if you like Savanna, this for you. But don’t expect any spectacular fireworks. What surprised me was the really good integrated alcohol. No need to water it down at all.
Review by Jordan Signor
Probably a Savanna designed to have its own identity, complete and complex, distant from the old HERR. With distinct notes of gouache and plasticine, a nice buttery mouthfeel, but also loads of medicinal notes. A nice sipper, a game-changer compared to more tamed or noble Savanna, funkier in a delighting way.
Review by Léo Delek
A very interesting rum because it is different from the agricole rums of the Antilles. There is something very vegetal that reminds me of the white Creole where I sensed artichoke. Here it's less the case because the aging brings a lot of indulgence which transforms it into green apple (and pear to a lesser extent) which becomes more and more stewed throughout the tasting. We also have vanilla, vegetal notes (wormwood plant) and buttery notes.
Review by Roman Lelek
My first Savanna, had it on my to-do list for a long time. I smell a lot of wood, on the first sip I felt a bit higher %. Honey, floral notes, something like linden or herbal tea. Interesting rum, tastes completely different from all previous ones.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 1992. With 8.4 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not at the top of my ranking.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Hmm, this is still a good rum, but besides the weird aging description this is not outstanding to celebrate. Savanna seems to bring out a rum to celebrate any special occasion. In 5 years there will be nothing left but a special edition for Mondays
