Savanna Lontan Grand Arôme - chai humide Grand Arôme 2007
Tropical fruit and ester hit hard here — mango, pineapple, overripe strawberry, plus polish and a touch of wood and smoke. Several tasters say they'd swear it was a young high-ester Jamaican from Long Pond or Hampden. The 60.4% sits well, oily and warm, and it opens up after resting in the glass. Savanna at its fruit-bomb best.
- Huge tropical fruit
- Big ester punch
- Overripe strawberry finish

Fruity, ester-heavy Savanna with strawberry finish Loved by Savanna fans for its huge tropical-ester punch and that signature overripe strawberry finish. Despite only 8 years, people find it intense, layered and easy to pour again.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
WOW! i wouldn't have expected that. from the taste and smell, you could guess it was a young Jamaican from Long Pond or new Yarmouth/Hampden. Fat. A brutal amount of tropical fruits and esters and caramel, plus some pastry, polish, salty and sweet at the same time, elderflower syrup, nice woody note, almost sandalwood. in the finish, Savanna then opens up again with the typical fermented, overripe strawberry. very cool, I want more of it!
Review by SaibotZtar
Ohh this is exactly my thing. Wonderfully fruity... Strawberries, papaya, pineapple, banana and a good load of esters ... Risk of confusion with high ester Jamaicaner quite possible 😅😅.... It almost explodes on the palate ... first oily warm and a little sweet...then it fills the mouth with tropical fruits and esters, here also a little floral (which is hardly present in the nose).... minimal wood and bitter in the finish. Strong performance 👍🏻

I got this bottle on Friday and sitting here enjoying it on a Sunday :-) I have tried a few Savanna grand arômes and I mostly like them. This one however is really good. The glass needs to rest in order for all the flavours to be released. I got most flavours after 30 minutes where it really gets fruity and you can pick up on the wood. I like the spicy touch well balanced with the spices, varnish and some licorice. A great rum and the price to quality is very good.
Review by Oliver
Savanna in top form! Despite relatively short maturation of 8 years, extremely intense and complex. An experience!
Review by Jakob
The first two Chai Humide bottlings with 8 and 10 years are not for nothing among the best that can be found under Savanna in the RumX database. Formidable interplay of powerful fruit esters, heavy wood and toffee sweetness, plus the classic for me for Savanna Grand Arômes mint with overripe strawberries with some olive and gallant wood influence - a renewed testimony to what can arise in eight years of tropical storage for fantastic rums.
Review by Jarek
Die Flasche ist noch zu über 2/3 voll und ich habe gerade darüber nachgedacht sie gegen einen TDL einzutauschen. Sicherheitshalber vorher nochmals verkostet und leider schmeckt er mir heute doch zu gut. Gegenüber der letzten Verkostung muss ich paar Zehntel dazugeben. Der HERR Einfluss ist HERRlich! Und die über 60% stehen ihm gut.
Review by RumTaTa
What a Grand Arome! The nose is still restrained but on the palate the character of the distillery is fully there, surrounded by many finer nuances. Unfortunately no longer available.
Review by Serge
Toller Gran Arôme mit einer betörenden (und ausgewogenen) Mischung aus tropischen Früchten (und natürlich Erdbeere), Frucht-Ester, Politur, Holz und etwas Rauch. Sehr gut! 🤤
Review by Joachim Guger
Craft top made Esterrum. Not my Beuteschema, but has not tasted bad to me at all.
Review by Thunderbird
WOW… was für ein Savanna! Das hätte ich blind nie vermutet… Ester und tropische Frucht bis zum Abwinken… Okay ein bisschen Erdbeere ist auch dabei … Ist für mich nicht klassisch , passt aber in mein Beuteschema!!
Review by Jonas
Sehr schöner GA. Neben der Ester-Dröhnung, für mich fast schon ein rauchiger Islay-Abgang.
Review by Morten Nørregaard Rasmussen
This chai 8y really hit all the right spots on the palate❤️. With a good pinch in the end❤️
