Savanna Lontan 57 (Rhum Grand Arôme) 2020
Olive, fermented pineapple and a savory, almost barbecue-meets-bacon weirdness run right through this one. It's a grand arôme from Savanna at 57%, packed with esters that "really slap you constantly in the face," plus earthy, herbal and medicinal notes. Several tasters call the alcohol surprisingly well-integrated for the strength. Strange, oily, and divisive — it rewards air time and a bit of patience.
- Huge ester funk
- Fermented pineapple
- Well-integrated alcohol

How does Savanna Lontan 57 (Rhum Grand Arôme) 2020 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Wild, olive-and-ester Reunion funk bomb Loved by funk fans for its wild olive, fermented-fruit and savory profile. The 900-ester intensity and meaty, vegetal weirdness make it polarizing, but most found the heat well-tucked.

Review by Timo Groeger
Lecker, ein richtig leckerer Savanna. Hat eine richtig gute medizinische und pflanzliche Nase. Ausserdem kann man tropische Früchte erkennen. Im Gaumen kommt dann noch Ester dazu. Echt gelungen dieser Rum.
Review by Nivius
A real monster - not even a doc in a drink can compete with that, although it has more esters! An extreme mixture of fermented pineapple, some vanilla and a lot of wood, although he has never seen wood ? In the finish, strawberries / strawberry yogurt are added - simply awesome - but the bottle will probably never be empty, unless it evaporates 😂.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Ce Savanna Lontan du batch 2020 est une légère amélioration par rapport à son comparse du précédent Millésime. Le nez, très particulier, s’apparente à un mélange entre d’un côté les notes végétales et vertes sur l’olive, puis de l’autre des notes plus carnées sur la bolognaise, la sauce barbecue et le bacon fumé. Le penchant plus funky, fruité, esterisé et métallique se veut plus rond et agréable. La bouche reste aussi loufoque que le nez, avec ces notes végétales croisées avec la sauce bolognaise ou à la sauce barbecue fumée. Si les herbes, les végétaux et la terre sont dominants, il y a un côté fruité et médicinal qui s’immisce au palais. Le profil est huileux, plus rond en bouche et avec un alcool mieux intégré que le batch 2019. La finale, un peu moins marquée, est sur le même registre végétal et herbacé, avec ce goût de viande fumée qui trouble les sens. Le piment et le cuivre ressortent davantage, avec les esters en fond. Un profil assez atypique, qui nécessite un peu d’entraînement et d’aération pour être pleinement apprécié.
