For curious explorers into cane-juice rum, this unaged Savanna agricole leans briny, vegetal and savory: olives, tomato, grass, and a touch of toffee. RumX members find it unique, smooth for 50%, and great for creative cocktails.

Rumfest 2023 tasting so notes were brief
Review by Rob Balazs
This is delicious! Olive brine and citrus on the nose. Thick mouthfeel, more olive brine and herbs. Long earthy, brine, and grassy finish. This is going to be a lot of fun to cocktail with!
Review by Benjamin Campbell
Enjoyed at Three Dots after event with Eric and ORS. One of the better unaged agricoles I’ve had, with slightly less tropical fruit that I prefer.
Review by RumCzar
This is a tasty cane juice rum with a good balance of vegetable funk and high abv. This could be as good as Neisson but it has a very strong unpleasant astringent flavor. I drink this with lime. I won't rebuy.
