Honeyed pineapple and a light chocolatey oak note sit on top, but the story here is what's missing. Labelled Grand Arôme from Reunion's Savanna, yet most tasters agree the glass doesn't deliver that punchy ester intensity — several call it closer to a strong, fairly neutral fruit brandy. At 64% the alcohol leads hard and water tends to flatten it rather than open it up. A divisive bottle that mostly disappointed people expecting the mark.

How does Famille Ricci Savanna Zodiac Taureau Grand Arôme 2017 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Cask-strength Savanna that skips the Grand Arôme punch Verdict is clear: nice enough, but it drinks nothing like the Grand Arôme on the label. Fans of that big ester style feel let down; scores land middling.

A blend like Ricci knows how to make, with two origins that respond well to each other without one overshadowing the other. Here we have a rather young Hampden with lots of very ripe fruit, accompanied by a more earthy TDL that should bring woodiness and roundness. A pleasure.

The label promises Grand Arôme from Réunion. Neither nose nor palate have much to do with it, however, blind I would rather be with a high-proof, but little aromatic fruit brandy. Makes me little fun, I'm sorry.
Review by Mirco
Quite restrained on the nose with sweetish notes, light vanilla and some fruit, but without the typical intensity of a Grand Arôme. On the palate, it is a simple, alcoholic rum with a sweetish spiciness and a slightly woody note. The expected savanna DNA is almost completely absent, which means that the rum falls well short of expectations.
Review by Johannes
Strange. The label says Grand Arome from Reunion. But there is definitely no Grand Arome in the bottle. A fairly neutral column-style rum with light chocolaty barrel notes.
Review by BnBrt
I didn't perceive much on the nose, mostly alcohol and little room for aromas. On the palate, the alcohol is very strong and masks a lot. I detect a little honey. Medium finish, as expected given the alcohol content, but still mostly alcohol for me. I tried to cut a little with water to lighten the alcohol, but to no avail; the glass became very flat. I'm very disappointed compared with my expectations of a "big aroma" and rather glad I only had a sample.
Review by DUBOIS Arnaud
I liked this savanna, but the label says great aroma but it doesn't taste like it.
Review by Romain de L
Weak robe. Lacks intensity. Nose with a lot of alcohol, lacking complexity. Strong attack but driven by the alcohol again, with hints of residual sugar. Some unpleasant bitterness. Long finale, not bad, but of honeyed pineapple. Overall not amazing and honestly, disappointing
Review by Doctor Luke
A nice rum, but for anyone seeking grand arome character, this will disappoint - particularly at the price point.
