Savanna Lontan 57 Blanc 2017
If you already chase high-ester rhum and think you've seen everything a white can do, this Savanna will still throw you. Green olive and brine sit right next to overripe pineapple, fermented strawberry and glue — one taster nails it as "chemical olive pineapple rum juice". The nose is lighter than you'd expect, then it explodes on the palate. At 57% it runs hot, spicy and peppery. Wild, unrefined, and not remotely subtle.
The community says- Huge olive note
- Explodes on palate
- But: Hot at 57%

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This was a lovely Savanna and we all agreed that it was really good. Fruity and fresh and you could small the rum standing on the table in front of you. Price to quality is very good in my mind. The surprise comes when you sample it because the nose is a bit light but it explodes on your palate.
Review by Frank
As with the LORD, an intense smell pervades the entire room. However, it is a bit more tart, more veggie-like. Next to fermented pineapple, olive comes to mind. Intense, artificial, fruity, sweet.Sweet, fermented pineapple with overripe strawberry. Then a bit bitter to change right back to intense fruity sweet.The finish is almost logically fruity sweet. Like the Lord something quite extreme and yet exciting.
Review by Pavel Spacek
The rums from the Savanna distillery are some of my favourites. I recommend everyone to try especially the higher ester pieces like Grand arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in a few little drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by ChristopheP
Surprising and very special! This rum can't leave you indifferent, either way! Personally, I love it!
Review by Vincent D
A white wine that can be tasted like an old rum because it is so rich and complex.it can not please everyone or leave indifferent.it will be necessary to taste it again to find everything that is hidden.Super discovery
Review by benoit burger
Surprising. Great aromatic power with notes of overripe fruit and especially green olive.
Review by Bram Baets
mijn eerste Savanna... maar wat een ontdekking, fris en zeer fruitig ... de kleur doet anders denken maar is zeker de moeite waard
Review by Simon Mathias Kaspersen
Voldsomt kraftig frugt duft! For kraftig frugt - funky kemisk frugt

I do not know why but I had in my mouth immediately the association with the red Campino strawberry yogurt candy🤣🍓 I find good!

Sehr kraftvoll, jung und funky - das alles zu einem hammerpreis! In diese destille muss ich definitiv tiefer abtauchen!

An sich spannender und eigener Charakter, trifft jedoch nicht meinen Geschmack
Review by Nelis
Delicious, I smell olives but the taste is somewhat peaty. It's my first Savanna. Love it.
