Savanna Créol Straight 2022 Limited Edition 2021
Green olive brine is the first thing that hits you — this leans more savory than sweet, closer to a mezcal than most white rums. Underneath sits fresh sugarcane, citrus, anise and a peppery, almost chili-hot spice, with a light iodine-salt edge. At 68.7% it should be a monster, yet nearly everyone says the alcohol drinks in shockingly well. Intense, unmistakably Savanna, love-it-or-leave-it.
The community says- Green olive brine
- Hides its proof
- But: Fiercely intense

Review by ccajerem
This is a pure cane juice in brut de colonne with a 9-month rest in vats (which is long, and all the better for it) and a short 2-day fermentation (normal for a pure cane juice). 6500 bottles were produced. 👃: The very first time I put my nose close to the neck, I was greeted by the green olive. This was followed by fresh notes of sugar cane, anise, lime, but also slightly salty iodine notes. The nose is very approachable and blind I wouldn't have guessed the 68.7 degrees of alcohol. Taste: here, on the other hand, you can feel the cavalry arriving, with spicy, almost spicy notes well counterbalanced by... A lot of things really. I had to come back several times because the aromas are so intense and varied. First, lots of freshness with vegetal and earthy notes, then the licorice stick and decla cane sweetness return in full force. The finish is long, slightly peppery, sweet and then vegetal, with a slight taste of... White radish. As I wrote that, I thought to myself, "Are you nuts? White radish? But I'm not going to give up. In the end, we have a rum with a rather classic nose, well made but with no great surprises and bluffing for its alcohol content. On the palate, it's stronger and funkier, with a superb balance of alcohol and sweetness. All in all, this Creol Straight is a great success, and will undoubtedly stand out in a cocktail.
Review by primus
Definitiv ein klares Tröpfchen was man Probieren kann. Nichts für schwache nerven, der Wumms ist gut eingebunden, bleibt aber ein wumms. Geschmacklich interessant. Vielleicht hinkt der Vergleich, aber was bei Kindern die Pubertät ist bei Reunion Rum diese Flasche.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really great nose of juicy blackberries, mirabelle plums, sugar cane and some olive. Very green, spicy and yellow stone fruit on the palate, slightly salty and bitterly herbal, medicinal. Alcohol surprisingly well integrated. Daiquiri test: some honeydew melon, a little green bell pepper, minimal olive and mirabelle plum. Overall quite round and surprisingly drinkable for the alcohol strength!
Review by Yoann Adast
In the first taste, I find dried orange peel, almost orange zest, big/big bitterness. There are also spices: pepper, anise, cardamom, others that escape me for the moment. Herbaceous, fresh cane, Slight iodine on the lips Quite fatty Very well-integrated alcohol, powerful, long, spicy finish, freshness Very, very good
Review by Vincent D
Très puissant. Canne. Végétal. Pimenté. Un condensé extrêmement fort de ce que Savanna sait produire. Comme souvent, ça ne peut pas laisser indifférent : on n'aime où on n'aime pas. Pas de demi mesure.
Review by Timo Groeger
Short trip reunion September 2024 The highlight of the day was the Savanna Creol Straight with 68.7%. Beautiful agricole, very herbal and citrus fruits on the nose and palate. I think the alcohol is well integrated. Fun fact: you can't buy Savanna in normal supermarkets here, only in certain stores or bars.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an extremely tasty Agricole Blanc. This rum from the Savanna Distillery in Reunion is distilled in 2021 in their Savalle column and bottled after 9 months of rest in vats in 6500 bottles. It has a quite high rate of congeners of 267.3 gr/hlap.
Review by samuel cutullic
Une belle découverte moi qui ne suis pas amateur de rhum blanc. Un goût typique qui nous ferait revenir à la distillerie avec l’odeur de la canne à sucre. Une merveille à découvrir à mon sens
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4135 Here are the last of the samples. Nice having a break to let the taste buds recover. This is a nice Savanna. Intense profile yet well balanced I'd even say smooth. It needs to rest for a while before it really opens up.
Review by Galli33
A small Savanna Tasting @ home. This one was quite good. Typical Savanna notes with some meaty, leather notes on the palate. Resume: Creol
