Savanna Trad G 69 2021
Green olives and brine pour out of the glass, backed by sun-dried tomato, basil and herbs — several members land on the same image: a liquid antipasti platter. Fermented, faintly medicinal, a little meaty and umami, with fruit hiding underneath. At 69% the alcohol sits remarkably well-integrated, and it turns into something wild and súffig in a daiquiri. Unaged and unlike almost anything else.
The community says- Olive-brine nose
- Well-hidden 69%
- But: Very savory profile

Aggregated from 73 community reviews.
Wild olive-and-tomato white, brilliant in a daiquiri Members keep circling the same verdict: a wild, savory olive-and-tomato oddball that's remarkably well-built for 69%. If you want a fruit-forward white, look elsewhere.

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 cigares
Dégustation des Savanna high ester. Un nez avec des esters, de l’olive, du piment et un côté un peu sale, sueur et médicaments. La bouche est agressive mais sans être désagréable et à mesure que s’estompe l’alcool, les arômes se révèlent. Un côté umami et fermenté complète les fruits et le végétal. La finale est courte et les goûts qui persistent sont plutôt du côté umami, fermenté et pimenté que du côté fruits. Un rhum avec des goûts trop étranges pour moi, là aussi il faudrait l’essayer en cocktail.
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 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😆

RumX Savanna Masterclass 27.09.2024: Interessante wirklich sehr vegetale Nase, insbesondere getrocknete Tomaten. Riecht wie eine Antipastiplatte. Der Geschmack ist weniger gemüsig sondern eher einfach pflanzlich, was mir besser gefällt. Insgesamt ist dieses Profil aber nicht so wirklich meins.
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 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 Jan Lu
Savanna Masterclass Durch den ABV schon recht kräftig. Fällt mir schwer das in Worte zu fassen. Wer schon mal bei einem Destillationsvorgang dabei gewesen ist wird den Geruch und Geschmack wieder erkennen. Frisch und Funky. Mir fehlt dennoch der gewisse Kick.
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 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.

Savanna Masterclass von RumX am 27.09.2024 Danke für die Möglichkeit diesen tollen Rums side by side probieren zu können. Nun haben sich bei einigen noch ein paar Veränderungen ergeben. Savanna ist vielschichtiger als gedacht.
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 SaibotZtar
The has real power much ester not quite the fruit bomb as expected but still tasty. For me personally rather what to mix there he plays out his strengths properly. Top PLV. Rating is adapted to an Unaged.
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 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 Pavel Spacek
Goood, if compared to non HERR. Sooo sweet in nose. Full taste of raw sugar cane. OMG it is soooo extensive, that it is even too much for me. It is even soooo sweet in taste! Soooo extensive that I cannot finish it
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 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.
