Savanna Collection Grand Arôme Porto Cask Blend 2004
People already into Savanna's fruity, ester-driven style are the audience here. Think sour cherry, red fruits and overripe glue notes wrapped in unmistakable port, with toffee and licorice underneath. Several tasters call it the best port-finished Savanna they've had. The recurring complaint: at 57% the oak gets heavy and bitter, and a vinegar edge bothers some. Give it time to open.
- Sour cherry nose
- Rich ester fruit
- Port done right

How does Savanna Collection Grand Arôme Porto Cask Blend 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Fruity, port-soaked Savanna with heavy oak Most fans love the cherry-and-port nose and rich, ester-laced palate. The split point is wood: a few find it too oaky and bitter, and one taster found the taste outright off.

Big hit! very concentrated, rich, complex
Review by Jonas
Immer noch ein sehr guter Rum. Neben Frucht und Estern hab ich hier, wie bei diversen Savannas, wieder den rauchigen Abgang. Love it!

04.10.2019 A lovely evening with a friend. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light roasted wood, pineapple, overripe, light glue, light caramel, anise. Palate Round, fresh, light wood, anise, berries, light glue, balanced. Finish Medium long, light wood, anise, light glue, faint caramel. Extra note Needs to rest for a good while to release its full potential.
Review by Mirco
Mit so einem Savanna mit Port Finish kann ich meine Abneigung zu diesem Finish etwas kurieren. Hier fügt sich dies gut ein ohne störend zu wirken. Für eine höhere Bewertung ist mir die Abfüllung jedoch zu holzi & bitter.
Review by Harald
Color: Mahogany Aroma: Sweet, aromatic and fruity with unmistakable sweet port wine. Also esters and solvents. Prunes, with some toffee emerging with time. Taste: Sweet and fruity in the mouth with toffee. Spicy hot when swallowed, then toffee, liquorice and port wine. Finish: Medium length. Spicy, peppery and hot with liquorice. Dry aftertaste, like black tea. 87 points
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Mega nose of sour cherry, some vinegar, spices and port. Taste relatively fresh, spicy, sweet and sour after eucalyptus, sour cherry, coffee, wood and some cocoa. The vinegar note disturbs me personally something, but then comes through full broadside Menthol Wick candy, which he gets the curve again!
Review by Jarek
Auch beim zweiten Versuch: in der Nase großartig, im Mund zunächst auch. Bis der nach meinem persönlichen Geschmack viel zu starke Holzeinfluss es wieder kaputt macht. Ich muss den Gesamteindruck etwas nach unten korrigieren. Vielleicht ist die jüngere Version von dem Porto Cask hier besser.

Sout and just low Savanna taste. You feel it just in the end
