Savanna Trad G 69 2021
Green olives, brine, sun-dried tomato and basil — tasters keep landing on the same image: a glass of liquid antipasti. There's a savory, umami, almost meaty side with herbs and a fermented funk, plus a little glue and salt. Despite 69% the alcohol sits surprisingly well integrated. Wild, polarizing stuff from Savanna in Reunion that most people reach for as a mixer.
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Unusual savory profile
- Great in cocktails

How does Savanna Trad G 69 2021 taste?
Aggregated from 72 community reviews.
Savory olive-and-tomato funk, best in a daiquiri An unaged high-ester Savanna that tastes like olives, tomato and herbs more than fruit. Most call it fascinating but very specific; many prefer it in a daiquiri over neat.

Review by Christian Rudt
Heute noch einmal in der RunX Savanna masterclass verkosten dürfen. Und positiv überrascht worden. Den sollte man mehrfach probieren. Intensiv, außergewöhnlich. Und völlig unterschätzt. Für mich nun mindestens gleichauf mit dem Herr auch wenn ich den hier noch nicht im Daiquiri hatte. Das dürfte spannend werden. Wirklich spannend was da aus Reunion kommt. Dieser ungelagerte Savanna mit Tomaten und Basilikum. Fehlt nur noch Mozzarella zum perfekten Abendessen. Im Ernst. Irrer Geschmackstrip hier da fragt man sich unweigerlich wo das alles herkommt. Würde es für die Purverkostung einfach Mal als wild oder auch Experimentell bezeichnet. Ein Traum für jeden Bartender. mir fehlt beim pur verkosten ein bisschen die Balance. Aber Irrer Stoff!
Review by EUDIER Vincent
À contre vent pour moi ( je ne bois pas tant que cela du blanc) c’est une vraie découverte, frais, propre, punchy… une vraie expérience. D’habitude je me demande ce que cela aurait été avec un vieillissement différent. Là il est simplement la, présent, dans ce verre… et il me raconte une histoire.
Review by Galli33
A small Savanna Tasting @ home. This one was quite good. Very lovely aromas of liquid gummi bears, berries, the typical synthetic smell from savanna mixed with a fresh note. Very good! Resume: Creol
Review by Timo Groeger
Nr.8. Wieder ein leckerer Agricole. Diesmal aus dem französischen Überseegebiet Reunion. Auch sehr fruchtig dieser Rum. Schmeckt auch sehr pflanzlich, ist aber absolut lecker. Alkohol gut eingebunden, top. Gleich gibt's nen Caroni :)
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Trinke diesen Rum heute zum zweiten Mal und er gefällt mir noch besser als noch vor einem halben Jahr..dieser Rum ist echt was besonderes. Er schmeckt sehr nach Kräutern, Tomaten, Basilikum. Daher leicht aufgewertet
Review by Schnubbii
Wow, der hier ist anders. Die volle Ladung grüne Oliven in der Nase, leicht acidisch. Am Gaumen werden die Oliven von einer schönen Süße ergänzt. Sehr ungewohnt aber auch sehr geil. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Gefällt mir richtig gut.
Review by Thunderbird
This Savanna is exceptional (I could already taste it on the GRF), and I like it. This blend of fruit and spice notes is very special. It's perfect for a mixed drink Edit: Tasted it again at the Savanna Masterclass. My rating remains
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
27.09.2024 Retasting with Savanna and I still love it a lot. Still get the Heinz tomato ketchup. Needs to rest to really open up but then you get the fruity and glue notes. ----------------- #4538 12.01.2024 Very nice HERR with lots of tomato and a very long finish.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Antipasti Rum?😆 Smells like a large antipasti platter with delicious dried tomatoes, pickled grilled artichokes, pepperoni and olives with herbs and olive oil. I have rarely experienced such an intense taste and smell of tomato in particular. Very unusual, although not wrong. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Daiquiri test: incredibly cool how all the antipasti flavors suddenly fade discreetly into the background and the tomato suddenly appears fruity. Something like a dish I once had in a Michelin-starred restaurant: iced watermelon gazpacho with pesto and burrata ice cream, kalamata olives and dried tomato chips. Very, very cool and extraordinary! Extremely drinkable in the daiquiri despite 69%! But you really have to be in the mood for it😆
Review by TheRhumhoe
This Savanna Trad G is a real original, opening with surprising aromas combining tomato, basil, olive, spices, fermentation and medicinal notes with a hint of esters. Confusing, but a welcome change from more conventional white rum profiles. The palate is no exception: the funky esters stay in contact with the green notes of tomato and olive, while banana follows far behind in the mouth. More surprisingly, meaty notes (meat) and umami creep onto the palate. It's a real UFO, with a zany but no less interesting profile. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated for its level. The finish is long, spicy, vegetal and medicinal. At last, fruit enters the fray to vary the aromas. The power of the juice is felt, with a dry, spicy texture that envelops the palate. Certainly not the Savanna to start with, but such a fine risk-taking on a profile as strange as it is fascinating can only encourage the distillery to develop a profile of this kind for ageing.
Review by Serge
Viel Olive, süß, fruchtig mit Gemüse (Tomate) und Kräutern (Basilikum). Riecht wie ein Mix aus Weißem Agricole, RumBar Overproof und Gazpacho. Am Gaumen zusätzlich noch etwas rauchig. Wer Mezcals mag, wird den auch mögen.
Review by Boletus
Hier gibt es Antipasti ins Glas. Getrocknete Tomaten mit Kräutern, Oliven und gegrillte Paprika werden ergänzt von einer fleischigen Würze. Zudem wird alles von angenehmen, natürlichen Grundsüße getragen. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, diesen Rum in einem Daiquiri zu probieren. Savanna Masterclass-Onlinetasting am 27.09.2024, vielen Dank an das RumX-Team.
Review by Jarek
Very interesting... less fruity than the HERR 57, more on the spicy, floral and somewhat meaty side.
Review by Skyfly
Olive von Anfang bis Ende im Fokus. Im Vergleich zum HERR und Lontan 57 ist sind die Fruchtnoten dezenter. Dafür kommen stärkere Kräuteraromen hervor. Wie bei den beiden anderen ist der Alkohol Klasse eingebunden. Macht wirklich Spaß in zu trinken.
Review by Oliver
A little more tamed than the LORD - but tamed is "relative" here. More herbal (basil, herbs) and umami instead of blatant fruitiness like the Lontan 57.5. Reminiscent of liquid antipasti. 🤓 Great high ester rum!
Review by DomM
Intense on the nose with olives, rotting vegetables and a hint of soy sauce. Only a hint of strawberry and fruits overall. On the palate more accessible than the nose suggests. Quite some sweetness with a strong focus on vegetal notes. Some olives and salt. Texture is creamy completely hiding the high ABV. This is an excellent destillate.
Review by Vincent D
Attention, les OVNIs sont là :) Nez très surprenant. Olive et saumure à gogo. Floral. Des esters, des fruits. Un côté médicament. En bouche, c'est plus extrême encore. La saumure et l'olive d'abord. Puis ça explose. C'est fort, piquant, fermenté, fruité. Ça se mélange ! Reste éternellement en bouche! Expérience sympa. Mais je me demande ce que l'on peu faire d'une bouteille d'un tel rhum à part du cocktail ? Édit : goûté une seconde fois et je dois admettre que l'intégration de l'alcool est très belle et que ce rhum constitue un belle expression de ce que sait faire Savanna et un ingrédient très intéressant pour de la mixologie.
Review by Tim
Exceptional rum with a very intense nose that holds tomatoes and ketchup?! All right, these are not necessarily typical flavors and you definitely have to like it. In addition, dark sugar aromas (molasses) resonate.
Review by Martin Spooner
Die Nase hat sehr den olive Einschlag. Der Geschmack gut Kräuterig. Schöner Rum. Ich mag savanna rums doch sehr. Toller mixer dieser rum. Echt äußerst empfehlenswertes Ding. Im Abgang auch Recht angenehm.
