Savanna Unshared Cask for Réunion Island 2024 2016
"A sublime nose" is where most tasters land — caramel, violet and passion fruit lead beautifully. The palate is more divisive: full cask-strength Réunion oak, allspice, a flash of strawberry, and an astringency a few reviewers say gets in the way. One even nosed it as Foursquare before the woody, wine-cask bite kicked in. Promising, but not everyone's favorite Savanna.
The community says- Beautiful caramel-violet nose
- Long finish
- But: Astringent on palate

How does Savanna Unshared Cask for Réunion Island 2024 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Gorgeous nose, woody astringent palate Loved for a caramel-and-violet nose, but the woody, astringent palate splits opinion. Several find the oak and 62.5% bite hold it back from the promise up front.

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.
