Savanna Art of Rhum by Vast 2015
Don't expect the usual Savanna here — this molasses blend leans floral and fresh rather than funky. Think green apple, geranium and herbs up front, with a medicinal cough-syrup edge a few tasters flag, then licorice, vanilla and warm spice on the wood-tinged palate. The 52% sits remarkably gently. Several call it a summer sipper; a few wish it had more depth.
- Floral and fresh
- Well-hidden alcohol
- Easy summer sipper

Aggregated from 112 community reviews.
Floral, fresh, atypically gentle Savanna sipper Most find it elegant, floral and easy-drinking with well-hidden alcohol — a fresh, atypical Savanna. The recurring catch: some want more complexity, and the medicinal/green note isn't for everyone.

Review by Rodolphe
My best surprise of the Rhumfest this year. I was disappointed not to have had the opportunity to buy it. A real emotion to discover this product that knows how to go off the beaten track but still very pleasant. It starts on a completely crazy floral profile (geraniums!) but with a very nice balance. Personally I wanted to taste it but I did not expect this. Can't wait to try it again in better conditions. Very floral profile, unusual, a lot of freshness. Very pleasant, a lot of pleasure on this rum.
Review by MarcM
Rhum doux mais puissant au goût de réglisse et vanille. Légère complexité, déroutant pour un Savanna (blend de mélasse) qui ravira également les amateurs d’agricole dont je fais partie. A besoin d’aération tout de même, revenir plus tard dans la bouteille après ouverture. Gouté en avant première lors de la soirée masterclass au Sauvage.

A pleasant and tasty molasses rum from Savanna 😋
Review by Frank
I also got this sample at the 12th GRF in Berlin. I really liked it there. Nose: similar to the unshared (moray eel) but even more floral and fruity. But here, too, the typical medicinal note, which goes well with caraway, liquorice, ginger and clove. Beautiful sweet and sour, yellow lemon with guava, green apple and papaya. Intense sweetness of syrup and honey. Very round. 8.8 Palate: intense and delicious, sweet-spicy-medicinal. Nice intense sweet licorice with caraway and vanilla with a slight saltiness. Also very floral, towards violets. The fruit, which is clearly present, is not quite clear to me; tends towards guava with fig. I like it even better on the palate than the moray eel. 8.8 Great Savanna, which could do with a little more %, but is very round and beautifully intense at the same time.
Review by Jan Lu
Sehr gelungener Rum. Geruch, Geschmack und Abgang sind sehr stimmig. Keine bösen Überraschungen. Gut integrierter Alkohol. Durch die 52% auch ein „easy sipper“. Eine sehr gute Abfüllung die jedem empfehlen kann.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Scored this on Catawiki for 116eu instead of 155. Flippers gonna try to flip, but all bottles are for drinking ;) So I got a softspot for Savanna. They make great rum in between classic styled Agricole or megafunky grand arome. Molasses or canejuice. This is the more classic style. Comes of as a very well rounded fruity rum. Not too much wood. Full flavoured. Taste: bitter. Bitter oranges. (Dried) apricot. Warm and quite intens. A faint dirtiness just on the background. The bitterness is really there today...but I like that (need to retry to see if it'll be there another time). Campari. Green peppers. It's a well balanced rum. Long finish. Good. No great!
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 12th GRF in Berlin: For me one of the discoveries at the GRF. Not top class, but nice Savanna character for an affordable price. Quite round, but simpler than some single cask monsters.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A charming Savanna with an unusual profile, with floral notes (geranium), fresh eucalyptus and aromatic herbs on the nose. Tropical and candied fruits add their share of deliciousness, while spicy woodiness adds character to a highly perfumed profile. The attack on the palate is suave and as verdant as ever, with herbs and floral perfume. Exotic fruit and a spicy, gourmet framework are followed by caramel and candied fruit. The alcohol is well integrated into this round, fresh and harmonious whole. The long finish sees the dried fruit try to fight its way through a seasoned battle between the woody, spicy notes on one side, and the floral flavors on the other, which are as present as ever from the start of the tasting. An original, accessible and tasty profile that has everything to please.

I didn’t take any notes at the Rhum Fest so a more detailed review will follow as soon as I get the chance to sample this rum again in a better context. This was definitely the highlight of the rums I tasted at the Rhum Fest 2023! Edit: Third tasting, I reduced my note from 89 to 85. Floral with delicate spices. Wood, caramel and a hint of licorice. Makes for a very round easy sipper.
Review by mto75
First impression: For a traditional quite 'Grand Arome-esque'. On the nose vanilla, green fruits (gooseberries, green apple), floral notes. On the palate, tobacco, barrel, nutmeg. Many thanks to Rod for the split!
Review by Tim
Very good rum with a very fruity nose that reminded me of chewing gum :-D The fruit notes are harmoniously complemented and the mouthfeel is also good. In the finish, this rum then makes a small turn, because the sharp spices and wood come through, which is why a rather dry feeling.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Le côté floral est assez original et pour une fois ne me déplaît pas. C'est un bon rhum, agréable à boire. Le packaging me plaît. En revanche, le rapport qualité-prix ne me semble pas au rendez-vous : pour moi il y a un léger manque de complexité et d'intensité qui le dessert.
Review by Oliver
Tasted for the first time at ProWein in Düsseldorf. Lots of green apple and herbs (dill?) on the nose. On the palate creamy sweet (in a positive sense) and spicy floral. Some nutmeg and green fruits again. After half an hour the rum opens up and you are rewarded with a great balanced profile. Spicy, some floral and a pleasant sweetness. Alcohol very well integrated.
Review by HenryL
A nose like I love it. Very multi-layered and herbal with underlying fruit. Unfortunately, it lacks a little complexity in the mouth. It's pleasantly sweet with a slight floral-vegetable note. But overall it is very restrained for the 52%, but the alcohol is incredibly well integrated.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4055 I like the design of the label and the price is OK in my mind. Still some way to go to reach a Grand Arôme ☺️ Fruity with light wood and some light varnish notes i love the caramel on the palate. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up more caramel and candied fruits.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
On the nose a bit of vegetables, maybe some licorice. Quite nice and creamy taste, at first wood notes come forward, spices, caramel, with time it settles and is nicely balanced. Alcohol integrated very well. Thanks Rod for the sample.
Review by Thunderbird
The Vast is a very elegant rum with a floral note... it doesn't offer the full savanna aroma, but that's not really missing either. But it is a very good sipper for mild summer nights
Review by Jarek
Savanna RumX Masterclass mit Samuel Pitarch, 2024-07-12: Ausser der Reihe ins Glas eingeschenkt um ihb direkt mit dem Art by Yann de Gall zu vergleichen. Diesen Vergleich gewinnt der VAST in meinen Augen, aber beide holen mich nicht ganz ab.
Review by Vincent D
Au nez, j'aurais pu penser à un TDL tant menthol et bois sont les marqueurs les plus présents. Derrière, des fruits font leur apparition. En bouche, le rhum a une texture très grasse. Sensation boisée, fraiche et épicée. Du pruneau également. Belle longueur et finale qui amène une amertume type cuir. Sympathique. Merci beaucoup à Rodolphe pour le sample.
Review by Chrischi78
Wirklich schöner Savanna-Rum, wenngleich er sich von seinen Brüder und Schwestern deutlich unterscheidet. Sehr angenehme blumige Noten, begleitet von frischen Menthol- und Fruchtnoten. Win perfekter Partner für den Sommer!
