Saint Eloi Spirits Savanna Rhum Grand Arôme
Bubblegum and tropical fruit up front, then a medicinal cherry-and-eucalyptus twist that surprises even Savanna regulars. This 11-year Grand Arôme from Reunion carries the estery fruit you'd expect but at a gentle 43%, so it comes across silky and easy rather than intense. A few tasters flag a salty, chemical-medicinal note on the finish that not everyone loves.
The community says- Silky and smooth
- Loads of tropical fruit
- But: Lacks intensity

The look inside the bottle
How does Saint Eloi Spirits Savanna Rhum Grand Arôme taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Silky, fruity low-proof Grand Arôme ester Well-liked for its silky, fruit-forward take on Grand Arôme at low proof. Most find it balanced and easygoing; a couple wanted more punch, and the salty-medicinal finish divides people.
Savanna and high-ester fans who want a gentler, sippable version
Anyone chasing a bold, intense ester bomb or put off by medicinal notes

#4951 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Faint wood, light roasted, fruits, light solvent, light medicinal, nutts, light plum, dried fruit, faint anise. Palate Medium intense, light wood, fresh, fruity, dried fruit, faint cherry, faint coffee, light anise, dry. Finish Long and warm, wood, light roasted, berries, light coffee, raisin. Needs time to rest for the profile to open up properly.

The rums from the Savanna distillery are some of my favourites. I recommend everyone to try especially the higher ester pieces like Grand arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in a few little drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
A positive surprise! Fully ripe sweet and sour pineapple & passion fruit, plus coffee, aniseed, olive brine and light roasted aromas. Quasi a grand aroma as an easy sipping rum. You can definitely do it, but of course it could do with a few % more, but it is very well balanced!
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes taken at Rhum Fest 2024, Quick notes and a bit heavy palate, sorry :) A nice big aroma, but rather "wise". Silky & balanced.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Velmi ale velmi dobré. Překvapily mne parádní sladká chuť bonparů a to i při nijak vysokém ABV. Myslel jsem že budu hodnotit výrazzně hůře, ale plná chuť krásně integrovaný alkohol jemnost mi zde velmi sedí. Jsem opravdu mile překvapen.
Review by Michal Jurka
For such a low abv rum very good. Suprisingly rich both in the nose and taste with tropical fruits, marshmallows and hints of sweet-soury olives. However I don't like the finish which seems to me salty-chemical-medicinal or something...
Review by Johannes
Nice complexity despite the low alcohol content!
