More than one taster reached for cognac before rum on the nose — that's the surprise here. Twenty years in oak gave it dried currants, dark chocolate and roasted wood, wrapped around fresh fruit and a faint menthol lift. The palate runs sweet then turns to elegant tannins and a pleasant bitterness. At 55%, the alcohol sits well integrated. A slow, contemplative pour.

Elegant 20-year Savanna, wood meets dark fruit The handful of tasters who've tried it agree it's beautifully matured and balanced — fruit, wood and tannin all in place; a few wished the finish ran longer.

#7399 25.09.2026 - 28.09.2026 Attending the Whisky Live in Paris 2026 with a few good friends. We had a great time and it was nice to introduce them to this event which was a first for them. Quick notes while tasting. Well balanced, fruity, caramel, leather, spice, leather, mint, chocolate, roasted wood, tannins.
Review by Skyfly
Savanna Masterclass: WOW - ein unglaublicher Rum der hervorragend im Fass gereift ist. In der Nase denkt man erstmal an einen Cognac. Agricoles die nach Beeren, geröstetem Holz und Schokolade schmecken findet man nicht oft. Da muss wohl ne Flasche her!
Review by Thunderbird
Savanna at its best... an excellent bottling... reminds me a lot of the RumX bottling... not so heavy, but intense... more on the elegant side... which really appeals to me... price-wise, though, it’s also in the upper league.
Review by Schnubbii
Savanna Masterclass 2026 Sehr edle Nase, ich finde schwere Süße und Bienenwachs. Wahnsinn! Am Gaumen ein Feuerwerk von Aromen. Schwere Süße mit minziger Frische, langsam kommen die Tannine durch und damit eine sehr elegante Bitterkeit. Ich finde außerdem etwas Tictac Wintergreen. Der Alkohol ist hervorragend eingebunden. Im Abgang dann prominent diese angenehme, sehr ausbalancierte Bitterkeit, etwas adstringierend. Geiles Teil.
Review by Jarek
Savanna Masterclass Tasting September 2026 (unfortunately caught up alone): Today I expected the most from a Very Rare Cask. On the nose, this promise is also fulfilled. Nicely dark, fruity but with dark berries. On the palate, I feel something is missing. It is still a very good rum. From memory, though, it doesn't quite reach the previous Very Rare Casks. Addendum: after another hour in the glass, I like it better again... Woody, sweet, dark berries.

Verkostung bei der RumX Savanna Masterclass am 25.09.2026 Erster Eindruck: der braucht Zeit im Glas! Zweiter Eindruck: richtiger erster Eindruck. Der ist mal komplex und ein MustHave für alle Rumnerds
Review by Alex1981
Fantastic nose, sweet taisins. Palate is pleasant, easy, round. Bit of wood and fruits, well balanced.
Review by ThreeH
Savanna Masterclass tasting. Rest des samples in Ruhe nachverkostet. Geile Farbe, dieses braungold mit orangem Einschlag. In der Nase super gereifte Aromenpalette. Getrocknete Früchte in Kombi mit frischen Fruchtnoten. Lecker und gleichzeitig interressant. Rund und einnehmend mit gut integriertem ABV. Am Gaumen würzige Anteile zu den Fassnoten dazu. Aber immer noch diese Balance mit den fruchtigen Anteilen und einer schönen feinen dezenten Süsse. Der Abgang auf den Gaumenaromen. Wäre der noch etwas intensiver und länger, hätte für mich dieser Rum die Verkostung gewonnen. So bei gleicher Punktzahl auf dem zweiten Platz hinter dem Ethernal Summer. Aber alles Geschmackssache.
Review by FischeJ
Savanna Masterclass 2026 Sauternes Nase. Dunkle Beeren. Tolle Tannine. Leichter Mentholkick. Etwas Tabak, dunkle Schokolade. Richtig gut.
Review by Cinci
Online RumX Savanna Tasting vom 25.09.2026 Klarer Sieger der Abends, aber spielt auch preislich wie die gesamte Linie in einer anderen Liga, in der Nase einfach nur fantastisch. Der traditionelle Melasserum durfte 20 Jahre im Fass reifen und kam anschliessend in den Stahltank. Das Holz ist wunderbar eingebunden, wirkt harmonisch, mit einem Hauch Portwein. Komplexe Aromenpalette wie Mandel, Orangenschale, Mango, Nektarine und Süssholz
Review by Martin Mihaly
Nächste wunderschöne Rom von Savanna, diesmal in nasse mehr Holzig aber trotzdem fruchtig, elegant, dunkle Schokolade, Eichenholz, phenol. Schön rund und intensiv. Am Gaumen gleiche Schöne intensive Runde rum. Die 20 Jahren hat ihn verschönern. In Abgang ist so intensiv fruchtig und Holzig.

Review by Rum man
What a rum this is. Very dark Savanna that reminds of a Guyana rum with its dark profile. Lots of chocolate, mocha and coffee against a dark green background. It has that nice bitter that never goes overboard. Deep and complex flavours that will go well on a winter’s day.
