Aroma visualization from community tastings
Savanna Créol 2005
Grass, hay and green apple lead here, with a licorice-and-pepper spiciness and a medicinal, almost phenolic edge that divides people. It's a cane-juice agricole from Savanna, and several regulars note it doesn't taste like their usual Savanna. Light-bodied with a touch of caramel and a long grassy finish. One taster called the palate "distinctive phenolic and licorice."
The community says- Vegetal agricole character
- Long grassy finish
- But: Odd medicinal note

How does Savanna Créol 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Grassy, herbal agricole with a medicinal edge A genuinely atypical Savanna agricole — grassy, herbal and lightly spiced. Fans of the vegetal style like it; others miss the classic Savanna character and find the medicinal note odd.

Review by Harald
Geruch: Jung, frisch, zunächst fruchtig nach Apfel, dann pflanzlich. Zuckerrohr und fauliges Obst. Grasige Aromen dominieren, zudem Eukalyptus und Anis. Geschmack: Dezent süß im Mund, etwas Karamell und Zuckerrohr, dann immer würziger und nach Kräutern. Würzig beim Schlucken nach Pfeffer und Lakritze. Kräuter-Aromen rücken komplett in den Vordergrund.. Abgang: Mittellang und ein bisschen eigenartig. Würzig, scharf, alkoholisch und medizinisch. Trocken mit zu lange gezogenem bitterem Kräutersud im Nachgeschmack. Fazit: Wieder ein Rum, bei dem der Jahrgang (Millésime) von dem Datum abweicht,

#4214 This one is really well priced compared to what you get. Nice and fruity with wonderful Agricole notes with some added light wood and spices. The profile is light and I would have loved a higher ABV. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass has some medicinal and vegetal notes.
Review by Rodolphe
A nice Agricole from savanna, with a profile all their own, this isn't the West Indies. It's more vegetal and the cognac breeding adds a lot of sweetness. It's really not bad, but it's not the type of agricole I prefer. Basically, Savanna isn't what I'd go for.
Review by Dr.Django
Ein eher untypischer Savanna mit einem Aromenspiel aus jungem Holz, Oliven, grünem Apfel, Gras, Heu... Agricole halt. Aber ohne die von mir geschötzten Savanna Aromen. Agricole, grüner Apfel, Oliven mit einwm.gewiasen medizinischen Touch. Ich werde nicht warm mit diesem Savanna. Danke für das Sample @Rod
Review by Thunderbird
Ein recht merkwürdiger Agricole! Einerseits die klassischen Aromen mit Hefe, Gras, Kräutern und Heu, dann pfeffrige Anteile und andererseits irgendetwas künstliches medizinisches! Passt nicht wirklich zusammen! Kann den Savanna-Stil hier sogar nicht finden!
