Merci RumX pour cette incroyable opportunité ! L’absolu a clairement dépassé mes attentes et il est parfaitement dans mes goûts. Beaucoup de fruits, notamment des fruits rouges, mais également un côté cognac, et une finale relevée par de la menthe, du poivre, et des tanins. La finale est un poil trop courte pour passer les 9, mais c’est un vrai coup de cœur. ❤️
Review by Roberto Bessa Ferreira
First tasting was at the Whisky Live 2023 and I love it ! Very special metalic & industrial Savanna 😋 with liquorice, fruity, varnish and eter. This is the kind of rum Love or Hate !
Review by DomM
Nice on the nose providing complexity with lot of notes to discover. There is a distinct buttery sensation to it. Very nice. Very high intensity and complexity on the palate. All individual components of the blend add some distinct impacts making for a deep and rich profile.
Review by Timo Groeger
A nice conclusion to this Savanna Masterclass. L'Absolu certainly has more to offer than the average rum. The nose and palate are beautifully spicy, woody and smoky. A nice end to this masterclass. Thank you Oliver and Sam for this opportunity :-)

Déguste lors d’une Masterclass Savanna RCP Nez fabuleux sur la pomme verte, les épices, les fruits rouges, réglisse subtile, le caramel Bouche très belle où on sent beaucoup le grand arôme, les fruits rouges, la pomme, le bois les épices Superbe bouteille, il manque peut être juste quelques degrés
Review by cigares
Savanna Masterclass for RumX 2024. Brown sugar, varnished wood, candied lemon, vegetal and apple form a beautiful, complex nose. A soft entry with toffee, vegetal and citrus. The wood is supportive but never dominant. The finish is long, harmonious and complex.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Cooler und spannender Rum. Hat mir insgesamt am besten gefallen von diesen Samples. In der Nase noch fruchtig, nach Kaugummi. Tabak, erdig und holzig im Profil, etwas von Bourbon. Schön langer aber trockener Abgang.
Review by HenryL
Savanna Masterclass 12. Juli 2024: Eines zieht sich durch das Tasting: alle Rums sind gerade in der Nase sehr ausgewogen, so auch dieser. Hier bewegen wir uns im Vergleich zu den anderen eher im Bereich roter Früchte. Im Mund kommt eine leichte Rauchnote hinzu
Review by Oliver
Very nice blend of Traditional, Grand Arôme and some Port Finish. Tropically matured for about 15 years. Thick and oily. Pleasant bitter tones in the finish. Really fun!
Review by Christian Rudt
Comparison with the absolu 24: This one is clearly the denser rum, the more traditional profile may be a little more boring but in the end is at least on a par with its successor. Nice variety that Savanna offers here. RumX Savanna Masterclass 12.7. Clearly floral, traditional profile on the nose, which I personally like very much. Much more concentrated on the palate and above all spicier and with plenty of tannins. Nice menthol note on the finish. An exciting blend that just came out on top for me in the tasting because it is the most intense.
Review by Jakob
Savanna Masterclass for RumX July 2024: Great rum that impresses with its aromatic density as soon as it is poured, but gains significantly more with a little time to breathe. Fascinating floral-perfumed notes, wood, fermented fruit, herbal aromas. A very successful release.
Review by Galli33
Thanks to the RumX Team for this great opportunity!! Unfortunately, I missed the only tasting due a delayed flight… This one took the second place in my tasting, this is a lovely blend of various good rums. The alcohol is integrated well.
Review by Johannes
Schön komplexer Savanna mit Fruchtester-Noten.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Probiert in der RumX-Masterclass: In der Naee sehr verhalten, am Gaumen aber dann das komplette Gegenteil - Intensiv, holzig, würzig. Man merkt, dass hier auch ältere Komponenten im Blend enthalten sind, die dem Rum Tiefe und Komplexität geben. Ein „traubiges“ Finish macht sich bemerkbar, zumindest ein Port-Cask scheint hier verwendet worden zu sein! Der beste der fünf im Tasting und somit ein guter Abschluss. Leider liegt der Preis auch hier wieder sehr hoch. In dieser Preisklasse gibt der Markt teilweise noch stärkere Abfüllungen her, schade!
Review by Filip Šikula
Hned po otevření se místností rozvoní grand arome. Vůně, která vybízí k nalití sklenky. Květinové tóny a tóny červené ovoce na nose, v chuti mimo výše uvedeného pepřovat, silný vliv portského sudu a a závěr který se láme do hořka. Líbí se mi :-) Savanna degustace pořádaná Pavlem Ungrem v baru Casa de la Havana vieja s účastní Sama Pitarche. Praha 12.3.2025
