Savanna Lontan 57.5 Grand Arôme
"Really powerful esters — you can smell it across the room," as one member puts it, and that's the pitch exactly. Green olive brine and salt lead the nose, then overripe pineapple, strawberry and banana come barreling through, with a smoky, almost meaty edge underneath. Water-white and unaged at 57.5%, yet the alcohol sits well hidden. Wild, savoury and fruity all at once.
The community says- Loud ester punch
- Olive-pineapple nose
- But: Savoury olive brine

Extremely fruity pineapple note - pure summer! Just the right level of power on the palate paired with typical Grand Arôme aromas. Great fun on its own and also makes really tasty daiqiris. An absolute recommendation in the white rum segment!

Ultra spécial pas pour moi
Review by DomM
Intense on the nose with lots of esters. Basket of fresh tropical fruits. Some sweetness and (after quite some time in the glas) a hint of cinnamon. Very enjoyable. Very tasty on the palate. Well balanced with meticulously integrated alcohol and a creamy texture makes this a very solid unaged choice for sipping.
Review by cigares
Dégustation des Savanna high ester. Un nez de bubble gum avec des fruits frais, ananas et banane. Mais aussi de l’olive et du végétal (herbes sèches). L’attaque est vive mais l’alcool laisse aussitôt la place aux esters. Un petit côté amer végétal, goudron et médicamenteux vient un peu perturber la bouche. Ensuite ce sont pourtant les fruits qui ont le dernier mot. La finale n’est pas très longue mais avec de beaux fruits et une acidité soutenue. Un rhum à boire aussi pur mais qui doit être surtout intéressant en cocktail.

27.09.2024 Retasting with Savanna and still a good rum. ------------------- #4199 Wow, this one is really good especially when looking at the price tag. The esters are there and I'd say this is a light HERR 😊 Fruity and fresh and the palate is nice and warm/spicy with a long warm finish. The empty glass has a nice smoky note to it.
Review by Vincent D
Olive brine tempered by very ripe fruit and esters. As is so often the case with Savanna, you'll either love it or hate it. As far as I'm concerned, this Savanna is still very nice!

Savanna Masterclass von RumX am 27.09.2024 Danke für die Möglichkeit diesen tollen Rums side by side probieren zu können. Nun haben sich bei einigen noch ein paar Veränderungen ergeben. Savanna ist vielschichtiger als gedacht.
Review by Timo Groeger
Post-tasting of the Masterclass Savanna High Ester. This is what a highlight ester should taste like. Lots of ester on the nose, also very fruity and a little olive. Also fruity on the palate, but also fresh and herbal. Thumbs up for this.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
On its own, it's too smoky/umami and salty after olive brine for me. In the daiquiri it's quite exciting with this pineapple olive note, but overall it's still not quite my cup of tea... It has something of a diluted HERR.
Review by Thunderbird
Savanna Masterclass High Ester: Der Lontan ist ein hervorragender Mixer mit einer sehr ausgewogenen Frucht-/Pflanzenaromenvielfalt, der Alkohol ist top eingebunden . Und angesichts des Preises eine klare Empfehlung
Review by Serge
Savannah High Ester Masterclass. Ich mag das Lontan57Profilsehr gerne. Nicht so gut wie die LMDW Birthday Edition hat aber auf jeden Fall das gleiche Grundgefühl. Für den Preis auf jeden Fall ein geiler Rum.
Review by Eric Frechin
Le premier rhum que j ai goûté de la Réunion (hormis Charette).on m avait ramené cette bouteille de là bas .Ce fut une sacrée claque . Sur le moment je me suis dit : je n arriverai jamais à boire Ça ! Son exubérance était perturbant : l alcool , les ester , l olive, le fumé. En plus je débutais dans le rhum. Finalement j ai appris à l apprécier, pour Finalement vraiment aimer. En ti punch maracuja c est formidable.
Review by Beancheese
I score rums on their own for the most part, from tasting them as sippers, leaning heavily to personal preference but trying to also keep some perspective to objective quality. So that leaves me in conflict when I score a rum like this Savanna. This rum is all olives, brine, esters and smoke. Yes, there are other notes to be found but these are so dominant that it’s almost silly to talk of much else. Frankly, those notes are interesting, not awful but not something I would want to sit back and sip. Still, this is well crafted and also so bold and forceful that it could be a mixologist/bartender dream. So I have ultimately settled on a 7 - as a mixer or as an objective score it could be higher, and as a personal preference for sipping it could be lower.
Review by Tim
Einzigartige und verrückte Nase nach überreifer Erdbeere, Ananas und Banana, Fleisch und jede Menge pflanzlichem Gemüse (Olive). Durchaus vergoren, was es speziell macht. Im Mund und Abgang extrem Ananas, würzig (salzig) und wiederum pflanzlich. Als weißer Rum für den puren Genuss fraglich, wenn dann zur Demonstration, dass auch Olivengeschmack als Rum möglich ist :-)
Review by Tschusikowsky
Coole Nummer. Oliven und Salzlake in der Nase. Erinnert mich an Poulet au Citron und Blätterteig. Im Bouquet leicht Hampden-ig. Pur wird er insbesondere mit ein wenig Wasser wesentlich gefälliger. Tolles Preisverhältnis. Langer Abgang.
Review by Jan Lu
Savanna Masterclass Der Lontan kommt wesentlich angenehmer rüber als sein starker Vorgänger TRAD G. Schon mild mit Ananas und anderen tropischen Zitrusfrüchten. So genau kann ich die nicht mehr rausfiltern bei dem Tasting.
Review by Christian Rudt
Unzweifelhaft ein guter Mixer und für diesen Zweck wird er Mal auf der Einkaufsliste landen künftig. Tolle nicht enden wollende Ananas die durchweg präsent ist. Man könnte ja fast meinen das sei hier ein Arrange so deutlich ist der Geschmack. Für die Bar daheim unbedingt zu empfehlen.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum grand arôme de base mais bien équilibré dans les saveurs. Le nez démarre sur les fruits très mûrs, voir fermentés, sur la banane et l’ananas. L’olive et les esters (polish notamment) viennent compléter le panel. Il y a un léger aspect fumé qui vient accentuer le côté intense du rhum aux narines. L’attaque en bouche est très fruitée, notamment sur les fruits rouges (fraise) et tropicaux (ananas, mangue). Le rhum devient plus onctueux et épais en bouche en gagnant du gras. Les esters, les notes végétales et la saumure d’olive se font plus présents en fin de bouche. Les notes épicées et fumées donnent un surplus de caractère au palais. Les arômes sont homogènes, sans que l’un supplante l’autre. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est de longueur correcte sur l’ananas très mûr, la saumure d’olive et les notes pimentées. Elle est chaude et conserve une bonne intensité aromatique au palais. Un profil bien amené mais qui doit être encore meilleur en cocktails.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This is a deep and complex rum that really shines, a lot of honey sweet aroma with a hint of smokyness. This is the most unusual lontan out of the flight. It lingers endlessly but in the end I like batch 4 just a bit better. Nice funk
