Savanna Art Of Rum By Xandro 2026
Savanna fans chasing that signature strawberry-yoghurt note will feel right at home here. It smells like sweet strawberries, tropical fruit and a little wood, with menthol and spice on the palate. Several tasters call it a tamer Grand Arôme — an "easy sipper" rather than the wild, explosive stuff. A couple find the strawberry too candy-like, edging toward chewing gum.

This Savanna is a really good, easy-drinking bottling. The ABV is well chosen, making it easy to enjoy. The aroma spectrum includes classic strawberry, sweet tropical fruits, as well as wood and spices – everything is there. Top! I'll have it again at Masterclass 2026.. and it only confirms my Tastingnites: super easy-drinking bottling

The nose is marked by strawberry yogurt, red apple, and caramel. It's quite pleasant but that's about it. The entry on the palate is again strawberry, with milky notes. The finish brings the freshness of menthol. Some spices, notably anise, close the show. The big disappointment remains the length on the palate, nonexistent. What a shame.

Review by Eric Frechin
I was really looking forward to tasting this rum. Tried it in a sample twice. I really liked it. Very complex, well balanced. The esters, woodiness, fruitiness, olive, and dairy notes blend together. In this range, the best release considering the value for money.
Review by Skyfly
A very pleasant Savanna that already reminds you of fruit snacks on the nose – strawberry, yogurt, and a bit of sweetness from nose to finish; on the palate also olive and a slightly salty note in the finish. A great easy sipper.
Review by Timo Groeger
Doesn't completely win me over. Strawberry is noticeable here too, but not as awesome as in RX20991. It really leans towards strawberry yogurt, but the esters and especially the varnish are too dominant for me here.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#6981 01.07.2026 Training done and wife picked up from work, time for some samples. Listening to some new Trance tracks on Spotify at full blast. A very nice rum with a good price tag in my mind. Intense profile with lots of fruits, nutts, ester, caramel, roasted wood and some salt.
Review by Johannes
Tastes like a Grand Arome with a strawberry note. The alcohol could be a bit better integrated.
Review by Michael Schou
#1798 04-07-2026 - Rate 9.0 The best of the 4 Art of Rum bottelings. The Herr profils is what makes this rum so exciting. I really like the Herr finish mixed with the rhum traditional part of the blend. And it’s finished off with some Grand Aróme 😊 16-07-2026 - Rate 8.9
Review by FischeJ
A tame GA in my opinion. The strawberry-yogurt note is there but subtle. Also feels quite thin on the palate. Not as full and explosive as the high-end bottlings. But definitely good.
Review by Fuwi
Online Savanna Masterclass as part of WLP 2026 For me personally, the discovery of the Masterclass! I found the REPY rather mediocre and therefore had no big expectations for this release of the Art series - but was very positively surprised! The alcohol is wonderfully integrated and brings a lot of fun and punch, the rum feels very smooth and mature. Notes of strawberry with woody cask influences and spicy-fresh aromas. Great HERR finish as Grand Arome.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/03/2026: Brussels Rhum Festival @ Tour & Taxis. A decent, enjoyable Savanna but nothing too crazy. The nose had a hint of the strawberry notes that I always look for in Savanna. It's nice to try it, but I don't need a full bottle. I prefer something more extreme like the Herrline releases.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
For a Savanna, it's on the distinctly sweet side with artificial strawberry and dried fruits. The alcohol could be better integrated. Not insanely complex, rather easy sipping. Personally, it's too sweet for me, but basically a well-made rum.
Review by Jarek
Savanna Masterclass Tasting September 2026 (unfortunately caught up alone): Yes, after RX26650, RX10507, and RX26649, the Art of Rum by Xandro is a Savanna that fits well into my preferred profile. In previous tastings, strawberry yogurt was often mentioned, and that was also my first association.
Review by Cédric C
Here is a very successful Savanna, the best in my opinion from the Art of Rhum range. I salivate as I validate my tasting notes and at the idea of diving back into it. A very successful blend between a GA 2006, a traditional 2015 ex-cognac and a traditional 2020 ex-muscatel. A favorite.
Review by Schnubbii
Very fruity on the nose and palate. Medium complexity and finish. Alcohol is very well integrated.
Review by Schorgelorsch
Tasting at the RumX Savanna Masterclass on 25.09.2026 So this is what strawberry yogurt tastes like... that's something tasty, but the alcoholic sharpness bothers me a bit. Maybe you have to let it sit, but there was no time for that 😀 the strawberry lifts it to another level though
Review by Rumeumel
I never thought a rum could taste so much like strawberry and chewing gum. In fact, it's the same chemical compounds that make both flavored chewing gums and this rum taste like strawberries and sweet fruits. For my personal taste, it's a bit too artificial. The brilliant idea came to me tonight. Right in the middle of the best strawberry season, you can make a nice strawberry daiquiri with it. Works quite well, but the fruity chewing gum flavor still comes through. Retasted today and rated 0.5 higher. With a bit more oxygen, the artificial notes settle and the mild fruity character clearly dominates.
Review by ThreeH
Savanna Masterclass tasting. Rest of the samples tasted calmly afterwards. Golden color. On the nose, a fruity aroma. Rather restrained compared to others in the series. Almost feels like an elegant Cognac/Armagnac. On the palate, then clearly stronger fruity aromas. Actually has this strawberry yogurt aroma. Drinks very nicely and the medium-long finish ends with a fruity-sweet impression. Definitely has its fans.
Review by Cinci
Online RumX Savanna Tasting from 25.09.2026 Blend of Traditional and HEER, co-created by the artist. The stuff is about 6 years old. Fruity and intense on the nose and palate, with notes of strawberry yogurt, vanilla, and mango coming through.
Review by iscreamforgelato
A really nice Savanna blend. If you know and like Le Must, this one takes it up a notch and you also get to know the HERR character, which here plays a comparatively restrained role. Alcohol is wonderfully integrated, but with 57% it's no longer an easy sipper, as it demands attention. First tasted at the distillery (05/26), own bottle opened in (08/26).
Review by J. Fundin
Tastes far too artificial, the strawberry completely takes over. You can barely even tell it’s rum you’re drinking — it feels like a sickly‑sweet strawberry liqueur mixed with Hubba Bubba gum.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Really pleasant surprise. Yogurt with strawberries, with a woody finish of traditional components. For me, a clear favorite among the Art Of Rum series releases so far. Nice finish, you can feel the strength, but definitely not the alcohol burn.
Review by Alex1981
Pleasant, easy drinking. Still typical Savanna notes and nice complexity
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
S 8.5 out of 10 belongs to the better ones I've had in my glass.
Review by Martin Mihaly
This is my first Savanna and I'm positively surprised. On the nose, it's slightly fruity, strawberry, yogurt, fresh, very light and thin. But then comes power on the palate, very intense, delicious, explosion of fruits, wood, strawberry, yogurt, nice oily consistency, alcohol well integrated. The finish is long and fruity. Really nice rum, I'm impressed.
Review by Kryštof Skrbek
Very sweet on the nose, with a hint of strawberry and light woody notes. On the palate, the strawberries come out much stronger than on the nose, along with a fine woody note and a pronounced menthol note that stays present until the end. Overall, I like the complexity and balance.
Review by Rum man
An interesting rum that goes from strawberry yoghurt to an olive and minty profile. A lot is happening here. The sweetness contrasts nicely with dryness. At the same time I am not sure this is fully the profile that I am looking for in a rum. This deserves some retasting on a later day.
Review by Motvind
Sweet aroma of strawberries, yogurt, and tropical fruits. The taste comes with strawberries, yogurt, spices, and wood.
