Best sipped neat and given time in the glass — at 61.3% it turns hot and spicy fast, so a drop of water helps. Expect a big wave of ester fruit: overripe mango in caramel, pineapple, vanilla and a bit of chocolate on the finish. A few tasters catch light smoke and wood too. One member called it a "monster" they fell for.

How does Savanna HERR Japan Tribute 1 2007 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity high-ester Savanna, mango and caramel Most call it a top-tier Savanna — mango, esters and caramel with real depth. A couple find it slightly edgy or too whisky-like, and the fruit fades as it sits.

This was my favourite Savanna and rum of the tasting. Nice complexity and lovely balance between the fruit, caramel and spices and you could also get some molasses. I really liked the light smoky feel and wood in this release. Chocolate comes at the end of the palate. Yummy 😊

Too close to a whisky, too particular, not rum enough...
Review by Mirco
Strawberry and berry notes dominate the nose, accompanied by vanilla and caramel. There is also a fine herbal note with a slight woodiness. On the palate, overripe fruit, some rock candy and a hint of cocoa. Overall aromatic and interesting, but sometimes a bit unbalanced and edgy, so it doesn’t reach the elegance of other HERR bottlings.

Review by Jakob
High Ester rum from Savanna with a sweet twist. Without the brute force of pure Grand Arôme or HERR, although the notes are of course still recognizable. Intense, demanding, multi-layered - an excellent rum from Reunion.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Rums from the Savanna distillery are among my favorites. I recommend everyone try especially the ester-heavy pieces like Grand Arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in just a few drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
It was a pleasure to dive back into this monster that made me fall in love with Savanna during the tasting at my friend Dimitri's. Now all that's left is to find a bottle. But at a reasonable price!
Review by Martin Švojgr
The best of the whole series. Wonderful aroma and taste of overripe mango in caramel, esters, vanilla. This is, for example, a great Savannah!
Review by Harald
Color: Orange-brown Odor: Super delicious aromatic ester flavors fill the room. Smells sweet and fruity of fudge, sandalwood and candied fruit. Taste: Initially sweet in the mouth with fudge, but quickly becomes sharp and strong due to its alcohol strength. Extremely strong and spicy when swallowed. Sweet with caramel in the background. Then there are lots of fruity aromas. Finish: Medium length. Fruity and spicy with chocolate and toffee. Also woody. Sweet aftertaste with a pleasant burn. Conclusion: Super tasty. The fruitiness decreases significantly after a longer period of standing.
Review by FischeJ
Absolute Savanna top class. Fruity, esters, spicy, dense aromas. Also reminds a bit of ice candies. Compared to Herrline #1 and Blanc Paris at a similar high level. For me on par with Herrline but behind Blanc Paris.
