Savanna Unshared Cask for Reunion Island 2009
Sip this one neat and give it air — at 61.5% it opens up warm and dry, all toasted oak, chili-pepper spice, dark chocolate and dried mint, with tropical fruit (mango, papaya) hiding underneath. Several tasters call the nose even better than the palate. A dark, empyreumatic molasses Savanna: complex, drying, and never sweet despite the caramel notes.
The community says- Complex toasted oak
- Chili spice thread
- But: High ABV heat

Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
What a fabulous nose! Smoky, minty, full of mango and spices. The palate is very roasted and spicy, with an aftertaste of tropical fruit and pepper. Superb rum, which in my opinion has a nose above the mouth.
Review by Oliver
Very good Savanna!

Große Finesse!
Review by Hood
The nose is marked by wood, pepper and tobacco. Very empyreumatic, as Savanna knows how to do. Where the nose seemed drier, in the mouth it is warmer and wetter. Much more expressive too, the high degree allows the rum to express itself without reserve. It attacks on the woody, we feel a little vanilla and a lot of chocolate. The finish is long and carried on the spices. A touch of smoke on the very end.
