Review by TheJackDrop
EDIT 2025 : Dégustation à l'aveugle : Une couleur proche d’un beau Sauternes, des belles larmes au visuel. Ca promet. Au nez, le bois noble marqueur incontestable de La Réunion, et surement de Savanna. Mon voisin d’en face clame tout de suite « Foursquare Patrimonio », et n’est pas loin de m’attirer dans son piège, mais bon, la bouche confirmera sans doute ma première impression. Egalement des aromes de cognac, de fruits, d’amande très agréables. En bouche : aucun doute, c’est un Savanna, et connaissant bien la gamme, ce sera Yann Le Gall l’édition limitée, ou le un Absolu 2023. Accompagné de miel, d’abricots secs, et légers épices, il n’est pas lourd, bien gourmand.. c’est donc assez logique. Une finale équilibrée, alignée sur la bouche, avec une belle longueur (sans être interminable). Mon idée est confirmée. >>> Savanna « Art of Rum By Yann Le Gall », la Réunion, 8 ans, ex-futs de cognac, 54%. ----- Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024, Notes rapides et palais un peu lourd, désolé :) On a ici : un classique de chez Savanna Un rhum : boisé, végétal, avec quelques fruits Finale : pourrait être plus longue, le cognac est assez faible
Review by zabo
Unfortunately, this Savanna is a disappointment for me. The best thing about it seems to be the label. Overall, I would describe it as a mixture of herbal tea with neutral alcohol, which is also very thin and has a very short finish. Nothing that really sticks in the memory.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Deuxième édition de la gamme Art of Rhum, ce Savanna se veut traditionnel et typique dans son style. On retrouve au nez des fruits tropicaux, des agrumes, mais aussi des notes boisées, épicées, médicinales sur les herbes aromatiques et un peu de douceur sur le caramel et la canne à sucre. Le nez est plutôt complet, avec un spectre aromatique assez large. Le profil en bouche combine les influences traditionnelles et agricoles de la distillerie. L’attaque en bouche est sur les fruits, suivis par des notes herbacées et épicées. Le boisé est un peu plus sombre avec des notes rôties, tandis que le côté agricole ressort avec la canne à sucre, mielleuse et juteuse. Le profil est équilibré, avec un alcool bien maîtrisé et à un degré optimal. La finale est de bonne facture, avec des notes végétales qui prédominent, suivis des fruits exotiques (ananas) et des fruits secs. Les épices tiennent la longueur en bouche avec un soupçon de douceur, alors qu’une touche médicinale se dessine dans le palais et confère un peu de caractère à ce profil relativement classique. Un bon Savanna, mais qui manque d’un petit peu de folie pour se démarquer.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Von der Nase her mega. Überreife Kiwi, Sternfrucht und andere gelbe und grüne Früchte. Fast schon parfümiert und gleichzeitig karamellisiert. Am Gaumen dann etwas zahmer wie erwartet mit Pfeffer und Pfirsich Eistee, Piment und Zitrusfrüchten. Bleibt relativ lange am Gaumen mit einer schönen Bitterkeit und süße. Find ich entgegen der Bewertungen gar nicht Mal so Verkehrt.
Review by Tschusikowsky
In der Nase hatte ich klassische Agricole Marker. Im Mund dann ein sehr ungewöhnliches Profil, und für mich deshalb geil. Medizinalr Noten, Schokolade, etwas verbranntes, intensives und Schwarzer Sesam.

Savanna RumX Masterclass mit Samuel Pitarch, 2024-07-12: Was mir an dem Rum gefällt ist, dass man die zwei Welten - Melasse und Agricole - so gut rausschmeckt. Aber unter dem Strich ist er recht unspektakulär und der Alkohol ist nicht gut eingebunden. Habe dazu noch schnell den VAST eingeschenkt und im direkten Vergleich mag ich den VAST mehr.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the Rhum Fest in 2024 and at the Masterclass for RumX 2024. A nose that vacillates between dark, woody, spicy, very lightly tarred and fruity (pear) and vegetal. The freshness is perhaps a little lacking. The palate is fruity with spices, wood and less vegetal than on the nose. The finish is rather short on yellow fruit and citrus. Spices and a hint of tar at the very end. The empty glass is beautiful.
Review by Boletus
Im Geruch anfangs doch noch sehr zurückhaltend, wobei Luftzufuhr der Aromenentwicklung förderlich ist. Im Geschmack eher wenig fruchtig, dafür pflanzlich frisch und jungholzig sowie mit einer belebenden Gewürz-Kräutermischung versehen. Macht durchaus Spaß! Savanna Masterclass-Onlinetasting am 12.07.2024, vielen Dank an das RumX-Team.
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 last place in my tasting, but this doesn‘t mean it‘s a bad rum… What I really liked here is the tar note and overwhelming floral notes!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
12.07.2024 A nice online tasting by Savanna and RumX. Nose Intense, light wood, fruity, light peach, light anise, light mint. Palate Warm, medium spicy, light wood, faint smoke, fruits, faint peach, faint herbs, light floral, medium dry. Finish Medium to long, wood, light herbs, light peach, faint chocolate, medium dry. The empty glass has vegetal, licorice and light metallic notes. Needs to rest for a good while to really open up.
Review by Oliver
Ungewöhnlicher, aber spannender Savanna. Viele pflanzliche Assoziationen, Kräuter und Holzeinfluss. Wunderschönes Flaschendesign.
Review by Leo Krüper
Very alcoholic nose, which does not bode well. But then quite nice on the palate. Very round, well-balanced rum. Hardly any characteristics. Some apple, some hazelnut, some vanilla. Hardly any depth. Light sipper without much pretension. Unfortunately too expensive for that, even if the rum has its raison d'être.
Review by Jakob
Savanna Masterclass for RumX July 2024: Schöner Blend, am Gaumen kommen angenehme pflanzliche Agricole-Noten zum fruchtig-würzigen Aromaprofil der Nase dazu. Tolles Profil, vielschichtiges Bouquet mit ansprechender Komplexität.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Nice and sweet on the nose after an initial mismatch, smell of ripe grapes. The palate is then relatively sober, i.e. dry, I miss the fruitiness. The rum quickly runs out of steam on the finish. Category: Unspectacular easy sipper.
