Savanna Unshared Cask for Réunion Island 2024 2016
One taster called the nose "sublime" — caramel, violet, passion fruit, a little soap — then found the palate landed well below it. That's the recurring story here: a gorgeous, gourmand nose followed by mordant wood, caramel, spice, and an astringency some love and some can't get past. At 62.5% the alcohol stays surprisingly integrated. Pure Réunion column-still character, with an unusual pastry-like sweetness for the house.
- Gorgeous nose
- Caramel and violet
- Well-integrated alcohol

How does Savanna Unshared Cask for Réunion Island 2024 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Stunning nose, astringent woody palate Most agree the nose is the star — caramel, violet, passion fruit. The palate splits people: lovely length and integrated heat for some, too much wood and astringency for others.

Review by Tom Buteneers
Had à bit of “wet basement/carboard” in the nose that reminded me of a LBI bottle, but in a good way.
Review by Gaston NP
Je n’ai pas pu résister à l’ouvrir. Le nez se dévoile avec une certaine retenue, mais il laisse entrevoir des arômes subtils et intrigants. En bouche une belle longueur s’installe, soutenue par un alcool à 62,5% Vol. parfaitement intégré, qui ne domine jamais le palais, mais le structure avec élégance.
Review by Vincent D
Nez gourmand. Du fruit et un boisé bien présent. En bouche, l'alcool est mordant et le bois omniprésent. On retrouve le caramel présent au nez ainsi que des épices piquantes. Belle longueur sans évolution particulière. On reconnaît la trame de La Réunion mais le côté pâtissier m'étonne. Pas ce que j'ai goûté de plus abouti chez Savana.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Masterclass Savanna RCP : Un nez sublime, sur le caramel, la violette, le savon, et le fruit de la passion. Une bouche nettement en dessous, avec une astringence qui m’empêche d’apprécier ce rhum. Dommage car le nez était prometteur.
