Right from the moment you open it, you can tell this isn’t your usual Agricole. Instead of just the cane and vegetal notes dominating, you get all sorts of tropical fruits and spices that make it really complex! On the palate, there are (citrus) fruits and again some light spice aromas. In the super long finish, you get a hint of wood for the first time. The alcohol is integrated to perfection! I’m honestly not an Agricole fan, but this one is truly something special!

9.0/10

an der Nase kommt zu Beginn der Fasseinflsuss schon deutlich durch. Mit mehr Standzeit gesellen sich reife tropische und getrocknete Früchte dazu (Mango, Papaya, Feige…), auch ein wenig Zitrusfrische, dahinter das intensive Vanille-Mark (das ich bei vielen GA/Herr hatte). Am Gaumen noch mehr Fass, röstig, sehr mundfüllend durch den hohen ABV, aber überhaupt nicht stechend oder kratzig. Hinten raus eher herb mit viel Tannin. Sehr langer Abgang. Erinnert mich ein wenig an das (für RX vorgesehene) Fass #991, nur alles noch etwas konzentrierter und intensiver

8.5/10

Als Savanna Fan taugt er mir nicht, mit neutraler Brille durchaus ein guter und komplexer Rum. In der Nase vergorene Frucht, Lösungsmittel, Zitrus und eine leicht florale Note, dazu eine warme Holzwürze. Am Gaumen dicht und druckvoll mit Ester, Gewürzen, trockener Eiche und einer herben Kante, die dem Rum Struktur gibt. Wirkt konzentriert und kompromisslos, mit viel Energie.

9.1/10

Kleines Savanna-Crosstasting mit Soforteinschätzung, daher heute nur kurz (Sakrileg, ich weiß): Na ja, der reiht sich schon an der Spitze ein. Mundfüllend, dicht, einfach ohne irgendwelche "Strickfehler", superb. Blind absolut nicht zuordenbar, weder zu Savanna noch zu Zuckerrohrsaft.

"Che bomba! Alla cieca non direi mai Savanna! Naso da rum super strutturato e complesso...molto lontano dagli agricole invecchiati classici (che preferisco white). Il palato conferma ampiamente il naso con la gradazione che si fa sentire nel modo giusto senza essere esagerata (anche se in realtà lo è 😝). Finale lunghissimo che spinge alla salivazione e a ribere. Da degustare con moooolta calma. Non è per tutti..."
