Ester-hunters who also want fruit will get the most out of this unaged Savanna HERR. Think exploding esters, pineapple and strawberry, plus a real gummy-bear/hard-candy note several tasters flag, and a quirky tomato edge more than one person swears is "Heinz." At 57% it runs hot and a little unbalanced neat, but shines in a daiquiri.
The community says- Big fruity esters
- Gummy-candy aroma
- But: Hot, burning neat

How does Savanna 57 Blanc HERR 2018 taste?
Summarized by AI from 19 community reviews.
Fruity, high-ester agricole; a daiquiri star Loved by ester and agricole fans for its wild fruit and gummy-candy character. Great mixed; neat it's hot and a bit unbalanced, and one recent batch reads synthetic.

8,6:On the nose, esters, medicinal, grassy, fresh(tea) sugarcane, vegetal with tomatoes, slightly pungent, fermented pineapple, berries, strawberry, some candied fruits, balanced, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, sugarcane is spicy with allspice, flowery, hay-ish, quite intense, malty, citrus fruits arise, some yoghurt. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is funky with esters, medicinal notes, fermented, rotten, pungent strawberry, tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, later citrus fruits, grassy sugarcane, vegetal with tomatoes, spicy with allspice, warm, hot, nutty, sweet with honey, brown sugar, pastry. 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry, sugarcane is vegetal with cucumber, tomatoes, fresh with tea, herbaceous, hay-ish, fruits are fermented, citrus, tropical with coconut, warm with spicy allspice, smoky, synthetic and medicinal with rubber.

Review by Thunderbird
This is exactly how a fresh Savanna HERR should taste... pure and especially as a mixer absolutely top! Besides the esters, I just love this gummy bear flavor. Certainly not a rum for every day, but at the moment, with the weather in the daiquiri 🤩! Pure pleasure!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This was our second Savanna of the evening and I really liked this one. You're not in doubt that you have an Agricole with some nice ester exploding on your palate. There is also tomato in there and I'd go as far as saying it was Heinz 😂
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, these unaged Savanna HERR are really great, especially considering the price-performance ratio. You can recognize ester here, also (tropical) fruits, especially pineapple and strawberry. Really tasty.
Review by Basti
Small Savanna cross-tasting with the 57er Batches #2, #3 and #4 and the 2023 Savanna Herr. Batches 2-4 are all pretty much on par for me and bring a lot of fruit, gummy bear and chewing gum aromas. The 2023, on the other hand, seems much more artificial/medicinal/synthetic, which I don't like at all here.
Review by John Coffey
Splendid. Just a few degrees short of the slap... But the HERR is sublime anyway
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
An interesting agricole, it doesn't have the dominant earthy and licorice notes that I got from my previous experiences with this type. Instead it's quite fruity and also has a taste of grilled vegetables. There is also a very strong tomato note which I saw Kevin comment on. It is a bit quirky for me. Thanks Alex for sharing a sample with me.
Review by Florent Barbieux
An extremely expressive rum. Lots of esters, tropical fruit and a strong fermentation aroma. A real slap in the face! On the other hand, the palate is too biting, almost burning. Unbalanced rhul. Average rating for the moment, but could be upgraded to good (or even very good) if aeration calms the rum's fire.
Review by Montana
An incredibly fruity smell, a lot of ester, ice candy, alcohol.The taste is also very fruity, somewhat sweet, slightly alcoholic burning.Something very own and special...
Review by Kryštof Skrbek
Very good mixer. Lots of esters, strawberry and fruity tones, but also grassy notes like in agricole.
