The surprise here is how briny it gets — several tasters pick up green olive and salty savanna character next to tropical fruit, butterscotch and young Bourbon-cask vanilla. One member spotted it blind as Savanna. The recurring complaint is the alcohol: at 60.9% it's often "not so well integrated," turning hot and thin on the palate despite the fruit underneath.
The community says- Salty olive character
- Buttery caramel notes
- Keep in mind: Hot, poorly integrated

How does Spirit of the day #3 La Reunion 2017 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Young, briny Reunion rum, hot and thin A wild, young Reunion column rum with olive, tropical fruit and buttery caramel. Genuinely interesting, but most agree the heat overshadows it — a longer tropical aging would've helped.

Most helpful positive review
There are good foundations, but I find this rum a little unstructured. It would have benefited from longer tropical aging. Its main negative point is the integration of alcohol. The attack on the palate is not obvious. What I liked was the fruitiness, the caramel aspect and the smoky vanilla touches. Given the price of some bottles of Savanna, it's a good buy.

To describe it briefly and concisely, this bottling has a very poorly integrated alcohol. It overpowers pretty much everything on the nose and palate. Even after some time, there is not much more to it. Despite the alcohol, it seems a little watered down.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5826 04.10.2025 Warming up before going to the Nobilis Warehouse Tasting #3. Nose Round, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, light citrus, light cherry, light floral, light olive. Palate Round, light wood, light smoke, fruity, light cherry, spice, light floral, light mineral, spicy, dried fruit. Finish Medium to long, light wood, spicy, raisin, light floral. Empty glass Spice, light floral, light perfume, faint chocolate. Needs to rest for a while to really open up properly, ABV could have been better integrated.
Review by Leo Krüper
Again, the alcohol is far too intense and the taste is far too thin for the high alcohol content. It's a shame, there's a lot more flavor here, but in the end it comes across like a 40% Savanna Traditional that has been fortified with neutral alcohol.
Review by TheJackDrop
Édit : nouvelle note dégustation : Au nez, je n’ai pas le bois patiné habituel de La Réunion, c’est déroutant. Par contre il y a des notes d’olives et de fruits murs qui ne semblent pas tromper. Un petit Savanna de derrière les fagots ? Surement, mais on ne le saura jamais ! Pas mal de beurre, une légère vanille. C’est très gourmand. En bouche, une réelle chauffe, qui s’estompe assez vite, heureusement, laissant place à une trame assez proche du nez, supplément fruits tropicaux, caramel au beurre. Le piquant du début de bouche a refait la part belle au beurre, et au fruits. C’est sacrément gourmand. L’espère d’un instant on pourrait croire à un petit Worthy Park low ester. Finale, entre fruits exotiques, bois léger, et onctuosité, mais plutôt de courte durée.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Dégusté lors d'une visite chez Versus vins et spiritueux. Merci pour la dégustation. 🧐 Un "jeune" 7 ans d'âge avec seulement 2 ans de vieillissement sur l'île Bourbon. 👃 Assez intense, pas mal de fruits cuits, plutôt tropicaux, des épices, et un peu de saumure. J'ai eu des difficultés à l'appréhender, comme s'il lui manquait du vieillissement tropical par rapport au continental. 😋 Les 60 bourrins piquent un peu en bouche, c'est dommage. Vanille bourbon et son caramel, encore ces fruits entre frais et compotés, épices et olives vertes en fond. ⛳ Moyenne, chaude, vive, alcoolique, boisé jeune, fruits verts, épices vives, assez rêche. Olive et côté herbacé et léger. 📝 Après dégustation de plusieurs Savanna officiels et d'IB, cette sélection a du mal à tenir la barre. En fait, l'alcool est juste trop présent, le profil général manque de structure et d'équilibre. Ce n'est pas à moi de mettre de l'eau pour trouver son degré optimal de dégustation. Pas un mauvais produit en soi, il y a de belles choses dedans (fruité, bois jeunes, fougue de la jeunesse), et son RQP est très bon. 🤫 Chut, c'est un secret, le Savanna embouteillé par Rasta Morris (RX21022), d'ailleurs complètement passé sous les radars, est une excellente alternative avec un très bon RQP aussi (90🍒 en prix de sortie).
Review by Skyfly
Sehr interessanter Rum, da sich Nase und Gaumen stark unterscheiden. In der Nase ist der Alkohol sehr präsent in Form von Lösungsmittel. Daneben nimmt man aber auch Früchte und Beeren, sowie Gewürze und Holz wahr. Im Gaumen überwiegen Noten von Toffee, tropischen Früchten und Gewürzen, aber auch Oliven sind erkennbar. Im Abgang wieder fruchtig/ holzig, jedoch ist der Alkohol wieder präsenter.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ne der ist grad nicht so meins dieser Rum. Ist jedenfalls sehr, sehr fruchtig, vor allem tropische Früchte sind erkennbar. Etwas Vanille lässt sich auch noch erkennen, außerdem ist er noch leicht würzig und holzig.
Review by Fuwi
Exciting rum, coming with 7 years and 60.9%. The nose is very inconspicuous, so you really have to stick your nose deep into the glass to catch a scent. Then it becomes slightly sharp, but with that ABV hardly surprising. On the tongue and palate, however, it comes quite powerful! Very buttery notes with fruit compote and cask influences. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not so well integrated, comes slightly sharp in the foreground on the finish. All in all very interesting and tasty though.
Review by Julien Ries
Le nez est curieusement très agricole, avec tout de suite une vanille bourbon assez puissante et un boisé léger. Quelques fruits exotiques apparaissent en second nez, alors que s'estompe la vanille. En fond, on perçoit quelques notes de saumure et un léger côté iodé. Rien de très agressif en alcool, et nous ne sommes pas sur un rhum à ester, les Grands Arômes, propre à certaines gammes de cette distillerie en vogue. La bouche surprend d'ailleurs aussi par cette surprenante intégration de l'alcool. On ne croirait pas être sur un rhum à 61°. Ce rhum déçoit un peu par sa faible complexité : un peu d'olive verte, un peu de fruits exotiques en compote. C'est léger et frais. La longueur est très courte. Pas vraiment convaincant.
Review by Jacques etdom
Good product, but not crazy either. Cooked fruit, light brine, but lacks depth. I expected more. Considering the price, it's still decent, but without emotion.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
The Savanna profile is clearly recognizable. Overall some pineapple, olive brine, red berries, overripe fruit, as well as an intense bourbon barrel note that also brings a slight sweetness. The alcohol is still quite wild and could be better integrated, but still an exciting, wild and young bottling.
Review by Vincent D
Dégusté à l'aveugle. J'avais reconnu la patte Savanna ici avec ce nez assez caractéristique. En bouche, c'est d'abord très beurré, puis le bois, les fruits, des notes piquantes. Belle longueur et finale avec une légère amertume. Mais alcool un peu trop présent pour moi.
Review by Richard Krupa
Slightly musty smell, pronounced, salty to olive taste, longer salty finish.
Review by Vidaa Wz
I bought this rum in the Spirit of the Day pack being a fan of the Savanna distillery. On the nose, nice integration of caramel candy notes combined with a certain freshness, it's disconcerting but pleasant. On the palate, that's where everything falls apart, big problem with alcohol integration, you don't perceive anything except neutral alcohol.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Ročník 2017. Hodnotím 7,8 z 10, solidní rum, který nezklame.
Review by Happy Oner
Velmi příjemné, s chutí agrucole, bez savanna gumy
Review by Thomas Renoud
The nose is ok, it's fruity and pleasant. You can taste there's something but it's overwhelmed by the alcohol. I don't get the reunion vibe. The finish is vegetal. Conclusion: Lack flavours for the proof.
