Strong savanna, with very successful cognac note.... Very successful
Review by Benoit Mahe
A round, pleasant rum. It won't turn the world upside down, but it's a pleasure.
Review by Harald
Color: Orange-brown Aroma: Fruity aroma of tropical fruits, spices and wood. Ripe pineapple, papaya, apricot jam, vanilla, white mousse, sandalwood and cognac. Taste: Sweet, creamy and spicy in the mouth. Spicy and fruity-woody on the swallow with pineapple, caramel, tobacco and cognac. Finish: Long Spicy, hot and woody. Dry. 88 points
Review by Djehey
Excellent. Un nez très fruité, frais voire florale. La bouche reste fruité mais davantage sur le caramel et les arômes boisés. La finale, de longueur moyenne fait penser à une orangette (de la peau d'orange confite enrobé de chocolat noir). Au prix de sortie c'est un excellent rapport qualité prix.

Edit: One of my first Savanna in a glass and still one of the best I've had so far. As Savanna is a new area, I find it very successful and the alcohol is very well integrated. The only possible criticism is that the finish could be a little longer
Review by Oliver
Really great, complex Savanna. Rather on the heavy and dark side. I like!
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Delicious. Not quite as intense as the CDI 12 year old. Cognac comes through pleasantly.
Review by Marcel.
Nose: fruit, candy, coconut, wood, funk, warm laundry Taste: candy, salt, pickled plum, wood, sour, esters, chilli Finish: Long My first ever Savanna, like it a lot. Would score this 86.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Savanna more rooted in the traditional style. Notes of vesoul and caramel mingle with spices (pepper, ginger), tobacco and elegant oak. Then come more pronounced fruity notes of dried fruit, citrus, yellow and exotic fruits. A profile that demands a little more attention. On the palate, this is a balanced, relatively accessible rum. Dried fruit, exotic fruit and citrus combine with spices, toasted notes and wood to create a winning and effective combination. Notes of tobacco, flowers, caramel and honey add roundness. Alcohol is well integrated. The finish is drier and loses aroma. Roundness gives way to bitterness, with notes of nuts, licorice, tobacco, spices, chocolate and wood. Fruit takes a back seat. A traditional but well-crafted profile, quite elegant, complex and accessible at the same time.
Review by mto75
good round Savanna, not as intense as the CDI bottled for Germany, but with a subtle cognac note
Review by DosenZorn
Tried as a 5cl sample.Abgefahren great nose, fruit gum, gingerbread, banana, tropical fruit, vanilla, wood, slightly rusty and nen smell, which I know but despite headaches can not assign. The smells so good, you can just sit with it for an hour and just smell it. Taste then quite different than the nose suggested it, rather on the spicy side and compared to Savannas I have tried so far quite discreet fruit. Still clearly recognizable and nicely harmonious. Beautiful natural sweetness, licorice, wood, tobacco, dark chocolate. Alcohol is well integrated. Taste not quite as outstanding as the smell, but still not to be underestimated. I really like this one. Savanna simply has it.
Review by DomM
Nice nose with notes from the cask, dried fruits and some glue. Very enjoyable. Complex and elegant on the palate. Presenting dried fruits and lots of spices (cinnamon) in an excellent balance. Influence from the cognac cask is noticeable. Alcohol is very well integrated.
Review by Christian Rudt
Quite different in character to the unshared for Germany from 2023, this one has a well-balanced, not too overloaded cognac finish and is slightly ahead of its successor in terms of taste. A beautifully harmonious single cask from Savanna. Good balance, rather dry. Alcohol well integrated.
